The New Performance King: 15% faster performance than GTX Titan Z
This is the ROG ARES III. A limited edition, world’s fastest gaming graphics card, powered by a pair of Radeon™ Hawaii XT R9 290X GPUs. Inside these GPUs pack AMD TrueAudio technology and can take advantage of Mantle-enhanced games.
In raw numbers it has 11.5 teraflops of processing power over 5632 stream processors. It's factory-overclocked to 1030 MHz, and is supported by 8GB of 5GHz (effective) GDDR5 memory. While the GTX Titan-Z is undoubtedly a monster graphics card also, now lets trump it.. convincingly; in the 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme benchmark, this monster card performs 15% faster, runs Battlefield 4 at frame rates 33% greater, and Metro Last Light at 30% faster: all in 4K UHD (3840×2160) glory.

Engineering Craftsmanship in a Limited-Edition Card
These single-slot cards were meticulously-engineered, and carefully crafted with close attention to detail. They are manufactured in a limited run of individually-numbered units, also making them highly collectible. ROG ARES III includes premium design elements such as its sleek, EK water block that is hand-carved for a precision fit, running at 25% cooler than the reference R9 295X2 (although results will vary according to the performance of your water cooling kit).

DIGI+ VRM with Black Metallic Capacitors and 16-Phase Super Alloy Power
ASUS exclusive DIGI+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) technology delivers 16-phase power and digital voltage regulation, while the Japanese-made 10K black-metallic capacitors, Super Alloy Power chokes and hardened MOSFETs can all withstand much greater stress and heat. The result is an ultra-stable graphics card that's forged for loads of headroom for overclocking and tuning.
ROG-Themed GPU Tweak and Live Streaming Utility
Included is the ultimate graphics card-tuning utility, offering incredibly precise control over GPU clock frequency, VRM and even fans. There is also a live streaming utility allowing you to share on-screen action in real-time. You can add scrolling text, pictures, and webcam images to the streaming window easily.
