With Nvidia not going ahead with an enhanced GTX295 ASUS have decided to do so themselves and the result of this venture is their MARS card. In addition to cores which are higher specification than the standard GTX295 Asus have also pushed the cards as far as they can go in terms of memory support with each GPU having access to 2 GB of GDDR3... that's 4 GB per MARS card, more than enough to make enthusiasts and benchmark junkies drool with excitement.

So today we see how much of an improvement the MARS card is over a standard GTX 295 but we won't stop there... we will also pair two of these cards in SLI to create a configuration which is essentially the same as GTX 285 Quad SLI. Asus have basically rewritten the Nvidia rulebook – so today we find out if this incredible engineering creates a card that is significantly better than anything else currently available.
