Asus ARES Officially Launched in India : The ultimate graphics card comes with metal case and gaming mousepad


Asus has officially introduced its all dual ATI Radeon HD 5870 loaded graphics monster card dubbed ARES in India. Named after the Olympian God of War, this is the ultimate option for the hardcore gamer. ARES is a limited edition graphics card that has two Cypress HD 5870 GPUs and measures 11-inches long. This limited edition graphics card will be sold in India for Rs. 1,00,000 approximately with unique metal case and Republic of Gaming mouse bundle.



Asus ARES graphics card incorporates two 40nm fabrication process made Cypress GPU based ATI Radeon HD 5870 graphics on a single printed circuit board. The GPU runs at 850MHz clock speed and the memory is clocked at 1200MHz. So far, ATI's Radeon HD 5970 graphics card is crowned as top of the line performance card. Both these GPUs have access to 2GB GDDR5 video memory thus making total 4GB GDDR5 video memory that has 256-bits (for 2GB each) memory interface.






The new ARES is equipped with three PCI express power connector points - two 8-pin port and one 6-pin port. For cooling, Asus has incorporated huge Fansink that promises 600 percent air flow. For best heat dissipation, 8mm oxygen-free copper heatpipes have been used. One would require 750Watts power supply unit to run this monster graphics card.

Of course, this graphics card is CrossFireX configuration ready. This graphics card is constructed from aluminum material and has one HDMI along with twin dual-link DVI-I ports for sourcing out HD video.

Since this is a limited edition graphics card with metal case and ROG gaming mouse, it's better that you either grab it now or forget about it.
