9,000 actually no it's it's 1,000 only and it is the Aries 2 from ASUS if you've been paying any attention to extremely high in gpus extremely limited edition gpus and extremely fast gpus over the last few years you'll have heard of the Mars the Mars 2 and the Aries which were the previous super uber Flagship cards from ASUS welcome to Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is linkis now this one differentiates itself from the others in a couple of key ways we're familiar with seeing two top tier gpus on one card okay so this is two 7970 GHz edition cards that are fully unlocked and you can do whatever you want with them you want want to tweak your voltages you want to tweak your fan speeds you want to do whatever you want you go ahead and do that awesome awesome stuff okay what we haven't seen before is one of these cards that check this out look at this look at this look at this see this case has nine expansion slots but that is totally at 10 10 really 10 oh yeah I forgot that okay has 10 expansion slots but you don't actually need that this is only a two slot card eight PCI eight pin or eight PC three 8 Pin PCI Express power connectors liquid cooling so we have a double thick radiator here that's running in pushpull that has the fans controlled by the GPU itself ASUS has completely redesigned the digital vrm okay so they've completely redesigned the vrm they have completely redesigned the PCB there is nothing Bone St about this 2 797s are under there cooled by the liquid in these tubes the air cooling uh fan there so there's an 80 mm downdraft fan there that is blowing air into this gorgeous heat sink I mean that's one of the other things about Republic of gamer stuff is you put it in your system and it feels like a status symbol you got your lighting effects here you got your gorgeous ASUS symbol here so that 80mm fan down there has actually get this dedicated to cooling the PCB the memory and the vrm so that's as much cooling as you'd see on a GTX 690 basically and it's not even cooling the gpus at all because it's ASUS and because we're just going to do it that way and so so so there you go they've also got a full back plate the card so it looks absolutely gorgeous you got your brushed aluminum finish on there now the question you might have about this guys is how do I get one and the answer right now is I have no idea and the other question you might have is if I get one How will I know that it's a unique piece of video card art and the answer is that there will be a laser inscribed serial number on the card itself yours will be a one OFA kind this is the fastest card in the Dual GPU card in the world I mean I think that pretty much makes it the the fastest card in the world it is also fully as I said overclocking ready so even though they're gigahertz edition cards you can maybe you can get another 50 100 mehz maybe a little more 150z some somewhere in that range because it is liquid cooled and so right so at stock it's already faster than a reference 690 and guys remember that a reference 690 actually doesn't uh overclock that well compared to what you're going to be able to do with a republic of Gamers Edition card I want you to come around here and have a look at the back if you're going to have six gigs of RAM and if you're going to have dual 79 70 GHz gpus you might as well hook it up to five or six monitors so there's a switchable BIOS switch so you can either do five display Affinity or six display Affinity off of a single card that runs in two slots heaven forbid anyone put four of these cards in a system not that I'm actually suggesting you do that because you'd have to rewire your house for the uh for the power that you'd have to deliver to that PC but if anyone does do it please do send me a send me a message on the Linus tips.com forum and I would love to uh I'd love to fly out there and have a look at that system just for the sake of like just touching it but uh this is a pretty unique system we got some hyperx beasts in here we got some coolant water coolant going on but more than anything else that video card is a centerpiece and yeah it goes really well with Republic of Gamers components so we've got an Rog motherboard in there we've got their Raider storage card which we did a separate video about and I can't give you any details about whatsoever and I think that pretty pretty much wraps it up guys do discuss this card in the forums do subscribe to lonus Tech tips and do check out the rest of our CES 2013 coverage you're going to love it thanks for watching Linus Tech tips at
