Asus really have outdone themselves with this one. Introducing the Asus Ares Dual 5870 graphics card. Unlike the 5970 the Ares houses two mightly 5870 cores under the hood featuring a massive 4096MB of GDDR5 VRAM, thats 2048MB per core. With base clock speeds over 125MHz higher per core than the standard Asus 5970, the Ares is 32% faster than the standard Asus 5970. With a massive amount of RAM the Ares eats frame rates for breakfast all day, everyday. The 8mm Heatpipe cooler design shows a 600% cooling improvemnt over the Asus 5970 stock cooling allowing the headroom for maximum overclocking. Presented in a unique aluminum case and a ROG gaming mouse the Ares really is the Rolls-Royce of graphics cards. Maximum cooling, maximum bandwidth and maximum speed, the Ares is the pinnacle in graphical technology.

Hmm, decisions, decisions.

Will 2 be powerful enough in crossfire, or should I go mad and get three for tri-fire...
 
That's a bit... pricey. But I bet they're fast as heck. I'd be interested to know the exact amount of gear like this (the really high end stuff) that OCUK sell!
 
You have to have more money then sense to buy these i mean they are not even the fatest cards of their type out there and for this sort of money i would want some sort of gold plating on it. I know there are some people who will always buy these for whatever reason but i will never be one of them even if i won the lottery.
