Newegg TV: Supreme Combo Ares Part I - The ASUS ARES

[illebayu]

what happened to paul?

[jacekantoine]

@dannyjerome0 lol yes girls are so lame

[datarecoil]

A lot of power in a small box? OoooOooooo hahahahaaaa Nice work

[zxcv1175]

in 2017 this will be as good as intel's integrated graphics

[BlackSheepBoPeep]

Oh my goodness, to see the chemistry between these two people o.o

Eff you, no, not in a "PUA" way.

[BlackSheepBoPeep]

@BlackSheepBoPeep Where is the chemistry, lol. None chemistry. THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT >:(

[BlackSheepBoPeep]

@BlackSheepBoPeep Nah, but it's nice; she is very respectful, because this is truly a feat to be respected in technology.

[cigarjohn42]

Nice video. Does it really make a difference in performance between having two to for video cards in gaming on a single monitor?

[Salmontres]

@dannyjerome0

Really?! To me, she looks like she can't wait to pounce on the sales rep in a passionate release of sexual frustration. I guess I'm just terrible with reading women; big surprise...

[diablofocker1]

I would murder someone for this computer...

[bestpctips]

i want an asus  shirt like that

[AstarteVX]

OMG I WANT TWO!!!

[xXcartman69Xx]

you should make them all the time instead of having 1000 of them released

[Daehawk]

Ares...drooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooool

[SpineMusician]

why are there no videos benchmarking th GTX 580 vs the Ares? I know it's just academic in test results as the Ares is amazing.... but I just want to see it.

[KingJreff]

@SpineMusician

2x 5870s vs a single 580. The Ares would win, and even the 5870 CF pulls ahead of 580 SLI sometimes.

[joshlovesto69]

handcuffs on the desk?

[hashu05]

@joshlovesto69 for latter use

[TheTazzyT]

get some longer pants, lose some weight.

[landwolf00]

@TheTazzyT i think his role at asus makes him a little bit above your criticisms...

[nephosis]

"Ahseuss"?? I always thought it was pronounced "asus", considering that it's short for "Pegasus" ...... Or maybe that's how Pegasus is pronounced in Taiwan. "Pegahseuss"

[punkwunder]

@nephosis I totally agree with you. I honestly don't know how they themselves at Asus pronounce it, but; I've always preferred to pronounce it Ace-us and not A-seuss (lol Dr. Seuss ftw). But that's my opinion.

[Bigwil254]

Somebody needs to get the Mugen Bodykit for that Accord back there...lol :P...then maybe it could look like mine.

[HackReviews2010]

Very low quality video from a giant in product distribution. Sound is horrible. Video quality is horrible. Tell that lady to brush her hair first before coming on camera.

[foist101]

@HackReviews2010 Lol your a douche.

[nephosis]

@HackReviews2010 Have you never seen curly hair before?

[4deucedesigns]

@nephosis I've seen curly hair before, but most recently the curly, nappy, pubs on your sister.

[arcadefirerocks]

I'll be upgading to an Athlon X2 7850 and a Saphire HD Radeon 4650 by the end of the year. All from NewEgg. Yay! Thank ya NewEgg!

[aceracc323]

Why Spen 1,200 dollors on a card When Most pc Games Now adays Suck?

[arcadefirerocks]

@aceracc323 Yeah. I can see why someone who wants to play modern games would do that but, why should you and I? I'm chugging happily along with a Sempron and an intergrated nVidia GeForce 6150SE. That's all I need to play my old games. Besides, maybe I don't want to simulate war and crime. Maybe I don't want to see blood all the time. If I wanted that I would join the army.

[aceracc323]

@arcadefirerocks Amen Brother.

[arcadefirerocks]

@aceracc323 Wow. You've got way better stuff in you're rig than me. Huh. I need to get me some more money for my upgrades. :D

[cssful]

I was looking for buying this but I decided to go with sapphire 5970 toxic (:

[Axeguard1292]

That card makes me sad I don't already own it. DAMN YOU LIMITED MONEY!

[arcadefirerocks]

@Axeguard1292 I want to buy more 'toys' to. I hate not having money.

[Axeguard1292]

@arcadefirerocks I know right? I'm saving atm to buy the 6870 coming out early next year.. I want to get into 3d gaming =). Unfortunately, its only a 50/50 chance I'll be able to save the money for it. >.>

[bavarianblessed]

@Axeguard1292

You are aware that the 6870 was released two weeks ago correct?

[Axeguard1292]

@bavarianblessed I meant to say 6970, sorry. When I posted the comment it was assumed the 6970 would be released early next year. Now, it should hopefully be out before the end of this year ^_^

[aceracc323]

@arcadefirerocks Naw my Stuff is Just entrylevel, But Thanks.

[Midas617]

so how can that be eyefinity if it only has one displayport and one dual link dvi to my knowledge hdmi doesn't pump out 2560x1600 so no 3 x 30" monitor setup out of that so calle powerful card? that's a waste!!!

[smittty1911]

check out the luscious tits on that man.

[hvale2k5]

this look like a porno shoot with techs related..

[JundaComputersGmbH]

1:36 He said the 5970 is two 5850 GPUs in one card, wrong.

The 5970 is two 5870 GPUs in one card, since it has 1600 stream processors on each GPU, just like the 5870. While the 5850 only has 1440 stream processors, the 5970 only has the clock speed same as the 5850, but the GPU itself is identical to 5870

5850 - 1440 SP, 725 MHz Core, 1000 MHz Memory Clock

5870 - 1600 SP, 850 MHz Core, 1200 MHz Memory Clock

5970 - 2 x 1600 SP, 725 MHz Core, 1000 MHz Memory Clock

[nathanb316]

@JundaComputersGmbH And he was also wrong when comparing the card with the GTX 480. He said himself that the ARES card has two GPU's. And then at the end of the video he said the best single GPU was the ARES. How can this be when the ARES card has two GPU's on it? Pound for pound the best single GPU is the GTX 480. The ARES is the best card but only because they haven't made a Nvidia card with two GPU's on it. I would like to see a comparison of the ARES card with two EVGA GTX480's in SLI.

[tadasc]

go and play outside! or you can find girlfriends :)

[Aznmask]

perhaps they hired some porno production to do this video.... 

[milanvdv]

@livevil904

He said essentially. They cores were arround the same graphics power as an HD5850. Damn don't be such a dooch

[Jus10okon]

@livevil904 He didnt say they WERE 5850's just "essentially" 5850's. Because thats pretty much what they were. They werent really like having 2x 5870's. I can guarantee he knows more about graphic cards (specially his own companys) then you do. No matter how many forums/websites you read.

[livevil904]

@Jus10okon The 5970 and 5850 xfire are essentially the same just like how the phenom x4 9950 is essentially the same as the phenom II x4 810........ thats what your telling me. the 810 has twice the L3 cache as the 9950 BUT WAIT THEY ARE CLOCKED THE SAME SO THEY ARE "ESSENTIALLY THE SAME" right? right?? ...no

2880 stream processors (1440x2) @725Mhz (5850 xfire) is not the same as 3200 stream processors @725Mhz (5970)

I look at specs, I dont care about forums

[allentam911]

jj has got his facts wrong. the reference 5970 is 2x5870s DOWNCLOCKED TO 5850 speeds. It IS NOT 2x 5850s. senior technical marketing specialist my ass

[Jus10okon]

@allentam911 The same me and milandv said to livevil904.. He didnt say they WERE 5850's just "essentially" 5850's. Because thats pretty much what they were. They werent really like having 2x 5870's. I can guarantee he knows more about graphic cards (specially his own companys) then you do. No matter how many forums/websites you read.

[arsinist113]

This is a stupid amount of money for this ; 6000 dollars lol its like buying a car that can go 400 miles an hour, never gona go that fast

[cgishack]

skip the intro and just get to the point.. the intro looks low budget... just my 2cents

[djBC10000]

she is a super combo

[xTheheadshotter]

the first 40 seconds totally seemed like a bad porno

[iWearGlassesLOL]

WTF Ass shot in the beginning #LOL

[utubesuks12345]

a) 5970 is 2x5870 with lower ratings to meet PCIE standards.

b) this guy is full of it ... but a) told us that.

c) this chick wants to look smart but is off in space when he talks... although this guy is a marketing bullshit artist and really knows fuck all about what he is holding...

d) this chick although someone i would bone is not that great looking but still boneable...

ASUS... the sapphire equivalent shits on this card .... ASUS ARES SUCKS LOL... single fan shit...

[sshuck]

"We do include the Crossfire bridge as part of the accessory bundle."

Phew! THAT's a relief.

[compun3rd]

so much power holy shit, id buy the one on ebay if i had the cash :S

[amexnamedluis]

cute gal

[1PKMNTrainer]

everybody knows the 480 GTX blasts away that card. Sli, anyone?

[CobraGMW2]

Toxic > ARES

[URIBENFILM]

the chick it sSOOOO HOTTTT!

[URIBENFILM]

the chick it SOOOO HOTTTT!

[No1snYpeslikme]

This card is absolutely retarded (in a good way). That is so much power.

[SpecialKLSX]

Change the mobo out for a AMD unit, grab a hex core Phenom, and add a kickass wc loop. And it's be around $800 less.

[DarkBioCloud]

wow $1200 is pretty high I wonder how many people put down the $2400 to crossfire this epic card ?

[JJtoob]

Mmmm... sexy video card and cuffs, I know where this is (or should be) going.

[JJtoob]

Lol, I always thought it was pronounced "a-sus".

[TheMastroAntonio]

I'm sure that woman doesn't give two shits about what all this is. I've seen women who work in the tech world and they don't look anything like that. 

[mastermanio2]

@TheMastroAntonio Not necessarily. A fine example is Amber Macarthur. Attractive, and VERY "in the know" when it comes to tech.

[TheMastroAntonio]

@mastermanio2 Yeah I'm sure they just don't hand her a script before hand.

[mastermanio2]

@mastermanio2 I'm not saying that she is tech literate, or that she is in the know on technology. I'm just saying that just because she's a woman and is half decent looking, doesn't mean she's a complete and utter idiot.

[grimey079]

doubles as an oven

[maindimon]

bitch is hot

[Macsalamander]

Wrong PSU makes for a fail Build. Newegg and Asus to think you put that much time into creating a Package for the fastest Video card in the world to market your super card and it fails you .6.7g deal fails over 1 c note.that antec PSU cannot power those cards. why build a computer that dose not work and then sell it like a PRO. Corsair AX1200 for the win. Im not biased for Corsair their uber products are way over priced, Just remeber its an Oligopoly not a Monopoly.

[Rowsol84]

@Macsalamander a 1200w PSU is more than enough for this.  Get your head outta your ass. Oh, and Antec is quality.

[StropeFromBWC]

that card is weak bro

[behem0th777]

Their card is just an overclocked 5970 and the original 5970 is not essentially two 5850's, its two downclocked 5870's. Fail.

[shehanster]

just unboxed my ARES!! and oh boy that thing is seriously heavy and its PHAT!!!!

[funkthesystem808]

I like how they keep one boob in the shot during most of the close-ups on the card just to make sure basement dwellers stay interested, hahaha.

[nictherocker]

it says on your channel that you are the second largest online tech website but whats the first one?

[MikeC015]

@nictherocker I'm assuming Cnet

[rahmanroni]

@nictherocker wikipedia

[thuliocsp]

@nictherocker

Probably TigerDirect since they bought CompUSA and CircuitCity.

[Metalozedex]

...tigerdirect??

[teron678]

@nictherocker i presume tigerdirect?

[TomAllenSmith]

@nictherocker My guess would be cnet.

[dorf213]

@nictherocker 2nd largest online only retailer.. not tech.. 

[rjmari]

@nictherocker Yea, it's "second-largest online-only retailer in the United States". My guess for first is Amazon.com.

[rasenganrendan333]

@nictherocker Tiger Direct perhaps?

[iJames1o1oUK]

@nictherocker Amazon?

[wwyk1993]

@nictherocker NCIX maybe??

[11235811193049]

@nictherocker could be tigerdirect, or maybe amazon if they could divide their store into sections so one would be just tech

[HostileDonut]

@nictherocker Probably Linus Tech Tips.

[Fowtowsjop]

@HostileDonut Linus Tech Tips isnt a website, his website is NCIX....

[HostileDonut]

@Fowtowsjop I know. I thought he said youtube tech channel. I don't know what the biggest website is.

[bigbone38]

Laura is soo hawt and cute

[aszenasi]

@SkylitDay marketing.

[Reconseal4050]

DID HE JUST STEAL THOSE CASES OUT OF JAIL OR SOMETHING???? WHATS WITH THE HANDCUFFS???

[toan3465]

can i get just the card i don't need the other stuff

[dannielpreto]

Here we go again have to convince the wife to let me buy this and a new build :) She agreed to fios for internet (50mbps/20mbps at 94$ from 50$ Road Runner 15/748 which to her made no sense and it was a going to be a waste -_-) so now is time for a new build :D

[123qwerty]

guys.. seriously, the real question is: will it play pong?

[Cthulu310]

@123qwerty faggot

[ChristBurner]

@123qwerty I KNOW! gawd guys get it in gear......

[DrCruel]

Notice the linkage at the top, and the single PCI-E groove on the bottom.

You can put two of these units together in a Crossfire configuration. O.o

[darknessofkrish]

But can it play MineSweepah?

[toadwaker]

This is NOT worth $6400, are they freakin insane?

[darknessofkrish]

@toadwaker Lol it is but that's the pricing on that stuff... but no build for gaming is worth 6fucking thousand dollars +, wholly shit maybe if you're gonna go map the pacific ocean floor or something.

A good build to me (and I think me ) is efficient parts at an economical price.

saw the price tag on this and became faint-headed.

Card is interesting though.

[jeff77789]

@toadwaker actually if you put it all together, then you save a couple bucks

[TheMrVogue]

It's fuckin' massive! LOL holy shit! It could eat my 460 alive D:!!!

[xGore220]

the interview is littered with akwardness...lol...he almost had a funny face when she was like thats alot of power in a little box haha

anyways i want that card!lol

[blaze86vic]

Did he called himself Miss JJ?????

[bilashhossain]

its like 1,000 xbox 360s combined lol

[mindlessdrone4]

does it come with the nifty cases?

[amoghthegamer]

@mindlessdrone4

yep... when you drop $1,200 on a GPU, you get the case!

[tomzhangus]

he's really tense. made the girl really nervous too. needs improvement.

[nerdy290]

Are you guys partners?

[iExD]

I wish I could have that core i7 fan for free =D... My computer have no cpu fans at all lol.

[iExD]

I looked up the supercombo build, it's

$6000 something US dollars!!!!! O.o

[bcdrummer]

@iExD $6434.96 to be exact! thats absolutely INSANE!

[iExD]

@bcdrummer I know xD... I just forgot the price.. but i did see it on their site =D.... I hate that case.. looks weird.. but it sure can't beat the almighty Cooler Master HAF X

[bcdrummer]

@iExD Oh i know! i looked at it hoping they would have some awesome case but it looks terrible in that color :P

[iExD]

@bcdrummer I highly agree. Cooler Master HAF X forever!

[bilashhossain]

@bcdrummer you dont need to spent that much

[pika198]

Such a nice setup, but you guys use a Mini Tower Case....honestly?

[ShindyK2]

Beast computer for the rich gamers... but imo this is way to far ahead of current time. $1000 is all you need to build a computer that suits the current gamer needs.

[simonalamona345]

How about no

[caltake1]

7 grand for a PC that will be outdated in 6 months. Not the most appealing thing ever.

[EphraimJWitchwood]

@caltake1

You have something of a point with that. While it will be surpassed by something in the near future, it will still be a powerhouse capable of running anything you want or need it to for at least a few years.

[caltake1]

@EphraimJWitchwood My GTX 280 will be able to run anything for the next 5 years, for sure. There is no reason you should shell out 7 grand for a PC like this.

Especially since the 5870x2 can't tessellate nearly as well as a GTX 480.

[EphraimJWitchwood]

@caltake1

I don't see why people are still bringing up the tessellation argument. DX11 won't be really necessary for a long time. DX10 isn't even commonplace yet. Besides, the difference in tessellation performance is negligible. when choosing a video card of the current generation, it really comes down to how much is in your wallet and which company you prefer. Now, I haven't seen any comparisons between this and a 480, but I think this would win. Dual-GPU always will.

[caltake1]

@EphraimJWitchwood Battlefield 3 won't even support DX9. In terms of Tessellation though, ATI cards suck. One of the reviews on Newegg's site (So I can't vouge for the accuracy) confirms this. I'm basing my statement on benchmarks where a single GTX 480 kicks Dual 5870s asses in Unigine Heaven with Tessellation on high.

[EphraimJWitchwood]

@caltake1

Well, in that case, I'll be stickin' with green camp unless they do something horrible to cause me to lose faith in them. As for Battlefield 3 not supporting DX9, the world needs more titles like that. Titles that push people to upgrade their systems. I personally can't wait for DX9 to be obsolete for games. XP should already be delegated to office and ULC PC's only.

[caltake1]

@EphraimJWitchwood You're relatively bipolar.

Your previous post: "DX11 won't be really necessary for a long time. DX10 isn't even commonplace yet"

The post I'm responding to: "As for Battlefield 3 not supporting DX9, the world needs more titles like that"

[EphraimJWitchwood]

@caltake1

I realise that I don't make much sense in my statement. Let me explain. DX10 and 11 are not necessary yet, BUT, I would like them to be. However, until then, there is no reason to jizz thy pants over epic DX11 performance.

[t3hsniper]

So does that price include the special briefcase? ;)

[t3hsniper]

Well all copper isn't always the best, as copper is better at absorbing the heat, but aluminum is better at dissipating it. Although these may be small differences in how well either absorb or dissipate heat, everything in the battle against heat matters with computers. Not to tell them they did a bad job, I just feel it's always good to look at the cons, I mean it does help to improve a product if you can remove any cons.

Honestly I can't stand how expensive graphics cards are these days.

[vtwinbreed]

@69slime69 Grow up!

[billay360]

Talk about overkill

[bubrockit]

If I was a billionaire...

[POPCORN454545]

lol women + technology = fail

[shelbycobragr3]

Now thats an investment right there But why is it so dang expensive? You can find a lot cheaper card and still run those heavy computer games without any problems.

[NikeySunfire]

one single gpu JJ? cause it clearly has 2 gpus in there...

[othman626]

@NikeySunfire Maybe he ment a single card.

[phatmonk6195]

this is disgusting.

[mrreviewable]

QUAD CROSSFIRE IT!!!

[Joseph9536]

I have had nothing but problems with Asus products!

[iScream90]

But can it run crysis on 30" monitor?

[sorathekinglolz]

@iScream90 lmao crysis isn't that graphically heavy... a 30" monitor with crysis is able to run on a nvidea gtx 260

[Af1gonzalez]

good card... but 1200?? might as well get two 5870s overclocked.... Thats too much...

[ButtercupsTrueLove]

Interesting look at the ASUS ARES. I would like to have seen the card with the cover off to expose the heat sinks and other components. Looking forward to part 2 of interview/review.

I've previously gone with two NVIDIA cards in SLI but am thinking of going with a larger monitor in the future and will need to upgrade or start a new build.

Nice job, Laura (Newegg) and JJ (ASUS).

[newegg]

@ButtercupsTrueLove Thanks!!! :) 

[crimson177]

does it play pacman

[Rangerscott69]

@crimson177 No, but it'll play Pong at 9999999999999 FPS.

[NitroZX]

O_o there are handcuffs next to the ares case i didn't know they were that expensive

[othman626]

Newegg......you rocks!

i really love these build videos, can't wait for part 2 :)

[pacorocks1]

ha.. he said load :-p

[chronocream]

I think she digs JJ.

[MARCUSxFENIX]

wow 1,300 dollers 

[ialyxxiieee]

So People.....it's either Her Or the Graphics card.

[Ionaras13]

nice chick... who cares about the card lol

[Trexzion]

Of course Asus made this card, Asus pwns.

[caltake1]

I want the 480x2!!!!

[karite36]

@caltake1 GTX 495

[PsalmsOfPlanets072]

Yes, squeaky chair just maid my day.

[jvnorris]

Laura Is Back.... Squeeee!!! I Missed you

[shawnygz]

1 what is that lady's name

2 when does she get off work
