ASUS ARES Video Card Overclocked and Breaking World Records!
The ASUS ARES Video Card has been making some noise here on Legit Reviews as we first showed it to you here and then saw it in person last weekend. When we saw the card last weekend it was running at an 850MHz core clock and a 1200MHz memory clock. With some better cooling the guys over at Nordic Hardware were able to get a pair of them up to 1150MHz core and 1300MHz memory, which was enough to smash every 3DMark Vantage record! Very impressive cards other than the rumored $800 to $1000 price tag.
More specifically, with two of their four cards on hand in CrossFireX they managed to push them up to 1150MHz on the GPUs and 1300MHz on the 4GB of GDDR5 memory which then gave them the ability to obtain the WR scores of E93549 and P51651. The rest of the system specs were as follows:
- Intel Core i7 980X @ 5,8-5,9GHz (LN2)
- ASUS Rampage III Extreme
- 2 x ASUS Ares Radeon HD 5970 4GB @ 1150/1300MHz
- Corsair Dominator GTX2 Triple channel
- 2 x Corsair TX950 950W
