ASUS Ares ATI Radeon 5870 X2 Limited Edition Graphics Card Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

[alinthebest]

[likesm14]

[kicbocsir]

@likesm14 same here..

[cs16rlz]

funny thing.. when he was going to speak about the VGa.. a car alarm goes off.... XD probably a gamer noticed the beast from afar haha

[cs16rlz]

awwwwwwyeaaaahhh XD jajajajajajajajajjaa i love THIS packaging i want that box XD

[alankace]

too bad graphics card depreciates in value

[luckynumero]

would you father hear ur fans with this garbage or the game itself with liquid cooling. the hydrocopper 580 from evga is cheaper than this peice of shit and you cant even hear it. FAIL

[luckynumero]

gaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrbaa­aaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggggeeeeee­eeeeeeeeee

[MsRomario90]

wtf is that a computer case box|

[OceanRiverify]

D:

[ryan9298b2]

Can you run that in SLI with a regular 5870 to get a 3 gpu setup

[ItalyNerf]

@ryan9298b2 SLI -.-". SLI is for nvidia cards!

[ryan9298b2]

@ItalyNerf Sorry, that shows you how much of an nVidia enthusiast I am. :) I meant crossfire, and yes, it was a serious question.

[TheDreae]

@ryan9298b2 Yes

[PRODVDi]

SO MUCH COPPER!!

[SuperUndiesFTW]

whats the difference between asus ati and a normal ati?

[progste]

@SuperUndiesFTW

the manufacturer, the cooling and sometimes the clocks

anyway, ATI doesn't exist anymore, now it's AMD

[bizzlebizzle1994]

Haha there's a crossfire bridge.

Like you'll find a pair of these lying around.

[TheKKkMotherFucker]

it looks so cool and its so good and perfect, but still, NVIDIA PUNS ATI!

[TheKKkMotherFucker]

ARES? I though Kratos killed that motherfucker!

[frozenskipper]

mars 2 now stomps this! :p

[Zumilas]

dude, how much was that thing ?

[OutlawLovesNewVegas]

@Zumilas Back in the day I think it was about $1200.

[Matgunman]

Dear Linus,

Roses are red violets are blue you have like 5 GTX590s how about giving me two?

[MrSparky167]

[Michal1982Michal1982]

I have bought Asus GX800 mouse but there was no free Asus Ares in the box. :(

[legend98jasmeet]

the dislike bar is as big as justin bieber's dick

[Wanting333]

[WeirdoMikey2T]

@SuperEvilSquid hahahaha

[zihu456]

[al7capone]

[TheMaristBoy]

[PaulyxxDxxGamer]

[portal23555]

gpu clock. 700 mhz

memory clock. 950 mhz. i was thinkin of getting that card for my computer but my case is narrow but a tall case. man i wish i had a better case

[portal23555]

@snth3 an ati x200 can play it easy.

[Decalto35]

I wonder if a bird would fly by and poop on that card.

[Decalto35]

oh yea, gtx 590 just got trashed.

[rnusiclover]

@snth3 LOL! Sure yes for that, but I don't think you can buy any of these any more.

[itzdataznboi]

[kill10003]

[platinumguitar]

How does this hold up today? I mean against a 6990?

[DBZisthebestanimever]

@platinumguitar it's weak

[aDyerSituation]

@platinumguitar This might actually beat a 6990.

[aDyerSituation]

@platinumguitar But if you flash a 6990 it will be better.

[johnchristian0131]

just go buy 2 5870's it will be cheaper!

[sankalp14]

is the whole graphic cards a heat sink? so many heat busting components lol

[Pedroxpvista]

@sankalp14

It's an high end gpu.. Its normal.

[MyStuff774]

2 of 'em in crossfire, YEEAAAAAHHH!!

[ClubbySuperCharged]

That car was shocked by the graphics card.

[3clayman]

[snakefaceproductionz]

I should get this and combine it with an i3 + stock cooler!

[MrLegit11111]

@snakefaceproductionz nononono get it with amd sempron 140 + stock cooler it will be the greatest combo every

[maltatravel]

THIS CARD IS FOR THE RICH!

[FantasyX3I]

my 5870 card is falling in love

[TheGrantkaminski]

okay, now imagine three of these on the evga sr2 with dual intel xeon 5690's... o.O

[TheCrazyFinn]

I think it's time to move back to horizontal pc casings. -.-

[TheAks30]

now compare it to the 6990 and gtx590

[flamingarse1]

[DelinquentRodent]

[deltasil1con]

[JakubRacek1]

[JakubRacek1]

[JakubRacek1]

Oh My God if i would have that BEASTY thing every noght i would take it out of the computer and i would sleep with it and i would allow it to be on my bed and i would sleep on ground

[PauliusSmile]

[harusora97]

[julianomaxter]

@jethrostatic just the kratos card can beat zeus and all the other gods

[metsavenku1994]

[jethrostatic]

The Kratos graphics card will kill this

[harusora97]

@jethrostatic just imagine HADES or THOR, or ODIN or even GANDOLF

[n00bcakey]

[iceto0o0o]

[TheLolnoobs]

[evo5pro]

[stevenajpvv]

Overclock the snot outta it.

[ItsTheAlfred]

It's so huge they had to make a new element to dissipate heat. They call it 'Aluminum'

[whatsxthis]

I'm pretty sure this card can divide by zero

[FaLc336]

your gonna need atleast 3 of these to run solitare at playable speeds.

[ylulnlulsYx1]

WIll it blend?

[savagemessiah82]

Wait a minute!! the fastest card in the world... so this card is better than the 5970???? answer please!!!

[haqeem18]

@savagemessiah82 yes

he said that oready.

faster that 5970 by 20 or 30 percent

[cpunge001]

@haqeem18 10 Procent faggot!

[haqeem18]

@cpunge001 32% la.

=.=

urh up to u all which one is correct.

i go check asus site its say 32%

[jose3945]

con eso uno juega con 2 cojones!

[enigmafirst]

Would liquid cooling be better for over clocking and crossfire or would this advance stock fan system be sufficient?

[NTGam1ng]

Can i trade you my 4870X2?

[maskmanyeah]

crossfire thats monster !!

[SReturns]

son'ovo bitch!

[xmodmodifier]

in the future, the size of the ares packaging box will be normal for mid-range gpu's :P

[BassPounderX]

[17DGuy]

[qutaibah95]

[LambosWebs]

They Should Do This With 2x ATI Radeon HD 5970 Cores :-D

[cis2lok]

@LambosWebs yeah they should!

[PaperWeight231]

@LambosWebs Yeah they should.....but it will probably melt the earth.

[SupaDupaWoopa]

and i think that my ati x1900xtx is a good graphic card..damn ati,you're scary!

[angelite143]

i'm telling you, it can't run tetris at 30fps

[Pierluigi996]

LOL at 3:37

[sucdeguacamole]

Holy fap !

[XPMartin99]

Veramente si chiama Asus Ares Rogo,2 di queste schede video configurate in CrossFireX dovrebbero sterminare la concorrenza,però gli da del filo da torcere 2 Nvidia GeForce GTX 580 configurate in SLI!

[BloodHassassin]

but 2 gtx 570's in sli should outperform this... lol (now, the gtx 595 will be a real monster). ...and yes, i said 570 not 580.

[DevourTheDarkness]

why do you struggle to lift 2.2kg lol. just saying

[Dastgeer]

wow man this is a monster

[rnachinrna]

I imaginarily teabagged the card.

[lordmetal2]

I. just. jizzed.

[seanyap07]

BONER ACHIEVED :D

[deCode666]

6:11 crow WIN! :)

[TheAntman2006]

the buggatti veyron of gpu's

[alexcheetah79]

consoles can`t handle this.

[FearlessLT]

Wow, I'd like to see x2 ASUS Ares -_-

That'd be like real-life graphics.

[darylglenn100]

but will it blend?

that is the question

[darylglenn100]

6 retards are using shitty integrated grphics!

[MrSouptits]

@darylglenn100 you fail

[darylglenn100]

@MrSouptits just enjoy your shitty intel gma graphics you tit sucking prick......

[MrSouptits]

@darylglenn100 no

[thejoker2k4]

[ninjaturtle205]

3:37 AWESOMENESS ALERT!!!

[ninjaturtle205]

why didnt they mass produce this card :(

wouldve beaten gtx 480s ass

[jaime001254]

only 1 dvi port? this is RETARDED, good luck needing more than 30% of its memory

[johnolazabal]

you look like peewee

[BGReviews1]

your just fuckin lucky i didn't mug you

[ShitakeStudios]

hehe truck at 1:45 :DD

[leogatobhzte]

You need Chernobil for power supply this card!!

[crimson177]

this is the price of 2 5970's

[zixerqwert]

surely no game would ever require, at least not now, a G-card with powerful, it seems idiotic to buy this, kinda like an apple laptop (only good to show the logo in starbucks) wanna know why? because you wouldn't see a dell laptop etc because people with dell laptops aren't retarded enough to show their laptop off.

[syauqiachmad]

wow... what a card.. now lets play minesweeper with this card, and see it capability

[dreamshooter90]

@syauqiachmad LOL xD

[FPSBass]

Why do you do unboxing outside?

[MrDennis458]

how much would 3 of them cost i want to combinate it with my core i7 980 ix , 24 gb ddr3 ram , 4 tb black caviar 2 256 samsung ssd , and a 100 inch philips lcd haha man not a lot of people have money for this things...

[ClantonNetwork]

@MrDennis458 these are $1,100-2,000 cards depending where you buy.

[crimson177]

@MrDennis458 just 3 580's or 2 normal 5970's

[LifeRunner4000]

@MrDennis458 we almost have identical rigs! I have Core-i7 980X Extreme Edition @4.6GHz 24GB DDR3 RAM, 3TB WD Caviar Black, some kind of watercooling :P and 3 BENQ 2420HD :) and i have one of these :D

[luchikozi]

jajajajajaja you activate the ati radeon alarm! jajajajajajajaaj 3:42

[ImASpyBot]

So yes I prefer to make the real world tarmac moan instead of the Dirt 2 1680x1050 framed "tarmac" crap, using a keyboard....That's stupid!! Guys think about it, seriously...what a theft! Will the graphics card eventually have the size of an air conditioner, with a giant Subaru intercooler to keep things cold? Can't wait to see...

[ImASpyBot]

I'll just wait for the Asus Zeus HD 7870 coming out in late 2011. According to rumors, that GRAPHICS card will have the size of a motherboard in 2D, the weight of a baby elephant and it will cost approx. as much as needed to build a nice turbocharged Honda engine (Pistons, valves, camshafts, springs, TURBINE and the peripherals..). Plus, consumers may have the chance to get it within a Gold briefcase, raising the total cost by 100%, which corresponds to a Twin-Turbo Honda configuration.

[bubinasuit]

and then i jizzed in my pants

[nems79au]

Makes u think why nvidia aint brought out there next duo gpu card :),it should be very pricy and fast :0.

[skaterboy379]

why not keep a stack of playboy mags in that thing when yr not using it?

jk lol ;)
