Asus ARES: Is This The One Graphics Card To Rule Them All?

Overclocked Performance

As mentioned previously, we managed to overclock the ARES to 1003 MHz core and 1275 MHz memory speeds. Let's see how this overclock pans out when it comes to performance:

3DMark Vantage shows us about a 4% performance increase over the stock ARES when the card is overclocked. That's not enough to topple the GeForce GTX 480 cards in SLI.

In Crysis we actually see a slight decrease in average performance, but strangely enough the minimum frame rate is showing us that same 4% increase.
