Do you like framerates?


If you must absolutely have the greatest graphic solution ever at this moment? You want to see triple digits in Crysis? Too much electricity to spare? This is what you will want: ASUS Mars GTX295

The current reference GTX295 offered by NVidia is actually two GTX260x2 packed into a single card solution. This works well for people that do not have SLI capable motherboards or only have a single PCIE slot.

What ASUS has done here (risking the wrath of NVidia) is to take two GTX285 to create this monster. Yes, you read that correctly, two of the most powerful single card graphic cards available in the market currently.

We are talking about 4GB of GDDR3 goodness, 512bit memory bus and 240 shader processors. And if that is not good enough, this cards are SLI ready right off the bat which means Quad-SLI is very much supported. The card also works with current drivers. According to ASUS, it estimates the Mars to beat the reference GTX295 by a whopping 21%!

Check out the pics captured at the card's introduction in Computex 2009 recently.
There will be only a limited 1000 cards for sale and if you have some spare arms or legs, go for it. I can imagine the first time you turn on your PC, all your lights will start to flicker and the entire house starts to shake. It's afterall a card that is 'out of this world' :)
