ARES2-6GD5 ROG ARES II: dual HD 7970 GPUs and hybrid air/ liquid cooling Hybrid thermal design: dissipating heat equal to 600W with 2-slot air/liquid cooling First card with 13% faster and 31°C cooler performance than reference GTX 690 Acclaimed DIGI+ VRM joins superior quality 20-phase Super Alloy Power for precise digital control, enhanced performance, reliability, and card longevity GPU Tweak: modify clock speeds, voltages, fan performance and more, all via an intuitive interface Shop × Modal header Limited Edition. Unlimited Power ASUS Exclusive Innovation All-new 3DMark® 03 record: 283017 marks Using ARES II, renowned overclockers Smoke, slamms, and 12 of OCLab.ru fame have established the highest 3DMark03 score ever. At 283017 marks, they have exceeded the previous milestone in the classic Futuremark® utility by 8103 marks (the former record was 274914). The setup for the achievement included two ARES II cards in CrossFireX™ (effectively four Radeon™ HD 7970 GHz Edition GPUs), an Ivy Bridge Intel® Core™ i7-3770K CPU, and an ROG Maximus V Extreme motherboard with 8GB DDR3 memory. The CPU was clocked at 6.711GHz, and the operating system was Windows 7 64-bit. Verification and additional information on the world record can be found at this link: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm03/6492935 ROG ARES II brings back otherworldly graphics might with dual Radeon™ HD 7970 GHz Edition GPUs and a massive 6GB GDDR5, all in a standard 2-slot height. The fastest card available, it introduces hybrid air and liquid cooling for relentless stability. Its power is controlled by DIGI+ VRM and Super Alloy Power components, with easy GPU Tweak card tuning The Performance King 13% faster than GTX 690. 130% faster than HD 7970 Twin HD 7970 GPUs provide the fastest graphics performance of any card currently on the market. Its 6GB GDDR5 video memory means smooth high-count framerates in any PC game available or forthcoming in the near future. Hybrid Air/Liquid Thermal Design 31°C cooler performance than reference GTX 690 All-new innovation cools the world’s fastest graphics card, which fits in a 2-slot height. Dedicated liquid cooling for the dual GPUs joins a dust-proof fan that dissipates heat from critical components to knock temps down and increase stability. DIGI+ VRM with 20-phase Super Alloy Power Precise digital control enhances performance, reliability, and card longevity ARES2-6GD5 is built with carefully-designed massive 20-phase power delivery, unmatched by any other graphics card for the ultimate in performance and spectacular power delivery. This ensures ample room for experimental performance tuning, as its DIGI+ VRM digital voltage regulation design augments precision overclocking capabilities, which are further supported by the use of hardened Super Alloy Power capacitors, chokes, and MOSFETs. These components are forged under extreme pressure and temperatures to increase reliability, power output, and overall card lifespan while eliminating bothersome choke buzzing noise, unlike much tamer reference cards. All these and more enable the absolute best in overclocking potential and experience.
