When you name your graphics label after a God of War, you’d improved hope it brings some heat, though judging by early reviews, that’s only what ASUS has finished. The 3 container sight above is a ARES, a $1200 limited edition, entirely custom house, sporting identical twin Radeon HD 5870 GPUs, 4 gigabytes of GDDR5 memory as well as practically sufficient tender copper to melt the sword.We’re not joking: the thing weighs nearly 5 pounds and requires a 750 watt power supply with 3 energy connectors (two 8-pin, one 6-pin) to even run. Of course, you’re getting a graphical behemoth for which kind of cost, steamrolling every alternative GPU upon the world — paired with even the 3.8GHz Core i7-930 CPU in 3DMark Vantage (on Extreme settings), Overclock 3D racked up the sincerely ridiculous 15,000 score, as well as the card ripped past 25,000 with the Core i7-980X and a second ARES in CrossFire. The label was less considerable in actual gameplay, merely spanking the (much cheaper) Radeon 5970 as well as GeForce GTX 480 by the medium amount, as well as several reviewers complained it was sincerely shrill… though as a aged proverb goes, nobody needs a Ferrari to drive the speed limit, but we’ll all want badly over them at any rate. Bring on a glass nitrogen, folks.
