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.

Can you please tell us who buys one?


Even if I had silly amounts of money that's just too much for something that WILL be replaced in 6 or so months. Unless you had some kind of graphics card hoarding fetish.

WHAT THE HELL!? It's more expensive than a sapphire toxic 4096 mb hd 5970? 3-4 expansion slots?





This reason its more expensive than the toxic 5970 is because this is two 5870 chips, whereas the Toxic 5970 utilises two 5850 chips, its faster.
