Technical data / specifications

Regarding the raw technical specs the ARES looks quite similar to a standard HD 5870 except there are two of these cores and you get an astonishing four Gigabyte of memory. A smootly manufactured back- and front plane keeps all the current converters and the memory on adequate temperatures. Furthermore you find two compact but powerful copper heatsinks placed on the GPUs which are equipped with four eight millimeter heatpipes. Additionally an also powerful fan is going to provide the cooling block with plenty of fresh air.
