The MARS II is not an unknown graphics card: ASUS already unveiled it at the Computex:
- ASUS MARS II Pictured: a three-Slot Behemoth for a real Dual-GTX 580!
- ASUS MARS II (Dual-GTX 580): Specs and PCB Details
ASUS’s MARS II is a dual-GPU card like the GTX 590 but unlike the GTX 590, the MARS II is equivalent to two GTX 580: two full-speed GF110 GPUs and a very strong VRM to feed the board.
Today, ASUS sent some official pictures of its new extreme card, which will be limited to 1000 samples only:
Madness!
to fellix:
This is ROG MAAAAAAAARS!! 😀
You need a big case to fit that, look how far above the PCI bracket the heat sink goes!
I still wonder if two 580s will still be faster on a motherboard with 32x PCI lanes as there wont be a bridge chip to go form 32x to 16x.
I have seen this on the FB, that is a kick ass card… do want it.
