Based on the ATI Radeon 5870 reference, the Asus ROG MATRIX 5870 boasts a 2GB of GDDR5 RAM running at 4.8GHz, a true 256-bit interface, and a 894MHz core clock. Asus has also incorporated their Super Hybrid Engine and iTracker 2 engine in the graphics card. The Super Hybrid Engine (SHE) automatically reduces the clock speed of the graphics card to low levels during normal operations, thus reducing power consumption. While under heavy load, it increases the speed of the card so as to deliver high performance. The iTracker 2 engine allows overclocker to safely adjust the memory timings of the graphics card.
