PC Perspective have managed to snag some pictures of the ASUS ARES graphics card in the flesh. This very high-end features two Radeon HD 5870 GPUs, instead of the HD 5850 GPUs that are used in the Radeon HD 5970.

Here's an excerpt:

"While the card we are showing here is a production sample, ASUS assures us that it will be available in about 2 months or so. The ASUS ARES as it is called is a dual-GPU Evergreen product with a pair of TRUE HD 5870 GPUs - not a combination of underclocked HD 5870 GPUs like the Radeon HD 5970 released back in November.

In fact, the HD 5870 Cypress cores are overclocked slightly past the default 850 MHz - though how much ASUS hasn't shown us yet. Also, the card features 4GB of GDDR5 frame buffer - 2GB per GPU!"


This is going to be a very limited edition, very pricey graphics card. However, if the ASUS MARS is any indication, it will undoubtedly sellout.
