2013-01-11
ok guys so we've made it over to the trump tower where asus is running strong we're in their sleep and we're with the man you guys know him mr. JJ he's been with me many many times and they've got lots of exciting products but one of the biggest ones that everybody keeps asking me to talk about is the new Ares to card I mean my email box is filling up so with that said we're going to talk about this so JJ come on men let's hear about this new areas doing all the great things about it well I mean pretty much this almost self-explanatory I mean Ares is already kind of pre known from our previous launch of the product at being a you know previous worlds fastest graphics card so with areas too that's once again what we're focusing in and so this is two 7970 gigahertz edition cars onto regular 79 70s the two gigahertz edition cards sandwich into a single PCB to make the world's fastest graphics card one of the coolest things are going to see right off the bat is that historically our previous and highest end cards have always been triple slot this is only a two slot card and the reason why is we have an entirely custom cooling solution so it's hybrid we have a air cooler that's a downward firing detection cooling our PCB and our brm assembly so we got all that really awesome stuff like the digi+ power to buying the SI p power components but then we also got this double-wide radiator with the cold plate which is actually cooling the two GPUs so it's like pretty much like twice the amount of coolant you could normally get you've got all your standard air cooling plus you've got liquid cooling all in a single card under percent and so that gives us two big advantages one we can keep awesome thermal performance and two we can keep it really quiet even under gaming load and as you saw when checked out the thermal performance temperatures in GPU tweak on average we're usually only looking between about 53 to about 57 see so if that was just one card that would be really impressive but the fact that we're doing with two GPUs at that full clock speed is awesome and think about this guy's with the card worrying that cool you get all kinds of headroom for doing the overclocking and over bolting because you've got it running that cool when you're increasing all those things it's going to maintain that coolant instead of getting hot and shutting down on you right yeah definitely I mean usually with you know an Aries ties class product you know most people are just going to kind of drop it in set and forget it's kind of like you running the best of the best you know in terms of display output connectivity it's a given you got five way or six my affinity it's fully supported no little mini sized connections to duly execute to DVI and then for full size DP ports you got the pitbull the got the assignable bio switch that's on the card is well unless you toggle between different resolutions and like always it's going to be limited to 1000 pieces global production it's going to be coming pretty soon to the market MSRP $1,500 so definitely for the guys that are looking for the absolute best of the best now these would be also signed you say there is an addition signature on them there's actually a laser etched serial number yes that will denote each cards limited edition status so not only you're getting a video card you're basically getting a collector's item because there's only a thousand pieces this is going to be a very hard item to get and with all you guys out there coveting them you know they're going to be gone like that now one other question mmm Remy what's on it three gigabytes six gigabytes six gigabytes of memory it's running out to full gear its clock speed so you got 6.6 gigahertz as far as the frequency goes and six gigs for you guys that are loved and do one you know 3-way affinity or even five way or six way yeah this one's on you guys about why you guys asked me all time what's going between a 3 gigabytes is 6 gigabyte card with a 3 gigabyte card you can make all the bells and whistles go but you go to that six gigabyte card you can have triple monitors running at the highest resolutions and still maintain all the bells and whistles you guys have seen us do videos and other stuff like that when we get a hold this card will do a monitor stuff for you guys once again because this is going to be incredible alright folks so there you see it the new Ares to buy a Zeus coming to mark with a thousand pieces $1,500 digitally etched it's going to be an overclocking mad beast we'll see you guys back here with another video with JJ really soon
