I got my chance to get hold on one of the 1000 limited edition Asus Ares available in the world. I believe that this is the first card to reach our tiny island shores (Singapore). Featuring a dual GPU solution, this card possesses two 5870 GPUs to provide ultimate performance for games.
In fact it is the fastest graphics card on the market (actually not yet in the market at this point of time when the video is made) right now, even faster than the Nvidia GTX 480 as well as the ATI 5970. The 5970 is a dual GPU feature a GPU clocked between the 5850 and 5870, while Asus Ares is equipped with a full 5870 gpu. That also explains the high power requirements featured by 2 8pin PCI-e connector and a 6pin PCI-e connector.
This card boast airflow 600% more than the actual factory design of the 5970, performing 32% faster than a reference 5970. Despite the fact of a higher airflow, the high quality fan produces less noise than the reference 5970 at only 37dB, compared to 5970 at 44.5dB.This is a graphics card on drugs. 4GB of Super speed GDDR5 memory supersedes the entire range of high end graphics card on the market, undoubtedly the best graphics card on the market, scoring 15473 on graphics score while the 5970 only scored 11506.
Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present you with the Asus Ares, a Dual 5870 graphics card.
