ASUS ARES CrossFire



Citiraj:
Running ARES CrossFire is not done by getting two of those cards. As mentioned before you will need a motherboard with enough spacing between the slots. Next you should have a fast monster CPU, our 3.8 GHz Core i7 is CPU limited in some benchmarks with dual ARES. So better look for something in the 4.5 GHz range. We already talked about monitors in the single card review, without a 2560x1600 30" display or an EyeFinity setup there is no need for the ARES. Finally, make sure you get a good power supply with loads of connectors. Our testing shows a maximum power draw per card of 450 W which means you should plan with 800 W for your CrossFire setup, add CPU and the rest of the system on top of that and 1200 W is a reasonable minimum to go for. The requirement of 4x PCI-E 8-pin and 2x PCI-E 6 pin power connectors is something not even all 1 kW+ power supplies provide, make sure to check on that while shopping.
