Guys, guru3d has pulished a review of ASUS ARES II which combines two HD 7970 GHz Edition GPU, with a 6600 MHz 6GB (3GB per GPU) overclocked Memory and a Water cooling block in a single package. It claimed to be 13% powerful than GTX 690 and 130% powerful than a HD 7970. Well check the review:-

BMG ftw!!
We know that too well, don't we?
So, what's the point of this thread & predicting about the 'Indian' price at the first place?

If someone has access to custom watercooling setup, it makes sense to take that route and just buy a couple of 7970. A better option than these ARES/MARS/Titan etc. IMO.

That said, the card itself is an awesome product, more of a show-off of ASUS engineers.

Remember this? ASUS - - ASUS MARS II/2DIS/3GD5
I still can't figure out how they manage to keep the thermals or power draw under any kind of control.

Actually these Ares cards are not for mass selling, they are basically collector's card. Price will be around $1300 after some time but don't justify the price of these components by just gaming performance.

just a core i7 3770K,a ROG series mobo, 16GB 2133 Mhz Ram with decent PSU and CPU cooler should be enough ;-)
