If you are looking for the fastest graphics card around and don’t mind dropping $1200 to get it, ASUS has the fix for you. Their latest graphics card takes the reference design of the HD 5970 and increases the on-board GDDR5 memory up to 4GB, adds dual HD 5870 graphics cores each clocked at 850MHz, and a custom made cooling solution to create a product that will blow through any game with ease.
The new graphics card is part of the high-end R.O.G series and comes with the name ARES. If you know your Greek mythology, Ares was one of the twelve Olympians, son of Zeus and the god of war. Asus must have thought it only makes sense to name one of the most powerful graphics cards in the world after such a strong god.
This graphics card has been rumored for some time, and many have waited in anticipation to see exactly how it will perform. Today all the questions will be answered as we put the ASUS ARES HD 5970 graphics card through our testbed of games and benchmarks. So, will this limited edition ultra high-end graphics card be worth the $1200 asking price? Keep reading if you want to see how this beast will perform!
