ASUS Prepares Custom R.O.G. Mars 285 Monster Video Card

[mdm-adph]

the price is i complete joke ..... u can easily but 2x 295s ... and quad-SLI ....

Quad-SLI only works on cards that have been "united" like the GTX 295. One of these cards will probably be a fair bit faster than a GTX 295.

 

[popswala]

are they serious?

Holy cow that's pricey. For that amount of money a representative from Asus should come over and install if for me and when ever I have issues. They should come over and fix for free*cough*. I'd rather wait and see if the 3XX's out-do the 295 and be cheaper. It does look cool tho but Id rather go for performance then looks since you don't see the card most of the time anyways.

OffTopic... LMAO, i like your signature....

mama mia, that's really expensive.

now imagine if any of this cards arrive to my country???

here all are overpriced so if now the price seems ridicolus to you HOW it will cost here?

at least I think will be $2000 bucks.

man, with that money I can buy 3,000 beers (aprox. 350ml each) and get drunk the next 10 years.

Thats why he said 2x 295's. These are going to be $1700 a pop, you could actually buy 3x 295's, but only 2 will SLI together, actually 3 and have some money to spare...

They even post if being able to run in quad SLI. Like wow..who the heck would even get two of these shit when it's enough to even buy a standard 4 GTX295 and still have spare cash.

 

[happita]

This isn't a great move. If they would've released them right now or a month or so ago, it would have made more sense, unless it took them until now to make this monster.

But I agree with some of you because next-gen vid cards are indeed coming out within the next 3-4 months along with Windows 7. And will undoubtebly perform faster than these 285's. So I find these pointless

Aye, but only two of those GTX295's can do towards a benchmarking score, which is the demographic this overpriced card is targeted at.

 

[werez]

INSANE £1030.98 ... you can buy yourself a decent system with that money . What the hell ?

 

[Hayder_Master]

pay 1700$ for this i think not , it is price of 4 GTX 295 in sli

 

[wolf]

GTX295 is two GTX275's. this is two GTX285's.

yes but I was under the impression it is still a "GTX 295" ?

 

[Velvet Wafer]

for that much money i better buy a big lcd with high quality (Samsung)

 

[Polarman]

It this even really necessary. :shadedshu

 

[MRCL]

It this even really necessary. :shadedshu

Is a 500hp car necessary? No! But its fun an men need such things.

 

[Velvet Wafer]

everything beyond 200 ps should be forbidden anyways... thats way enough power to drive faster than your guardian angel could fly...

you know`? cars are like computers for the dumb. its all about "Engine Tweaking"

 

[wolf]

indeed it is called a GTX295 chaps, wether or not it uses 285 cores, Asus call it a GTX295 MARS.

not to mention most news items still refer to it as a custom 295.

2 mars cards!!

I feel awful that I bought 2 of them, but like everyone said, they are collectors items and will go fast. It will definitely be good for my buisness. going to do some benchmarks soon. Is there anything you all want me to post besides the obvious. (crysis,3dmark)

 

[cdawall]

wonder if i can talk my way into a free one

Definitly i want some screenies of that monster combo! Keep us updated pls..

 

[Bodar]

Awesome!!! Will do. Nice setup by the way!!

Water cooling

If I were to go against heavy benchmarks what do you suggest for water cooling on these things. I think the koolance water blocks for my current setup would work on these but I dont know If I should use something better If I want the scores to be higher.. I'm not the best at water cooling but I do a decent job I think. I watch trubritar videos sometimes and he has great overclocked scores with water cooling but he does'nt disable physx. Something that's needed to reach the highest and most genuine score possible

I dont think that there will be any company releasing blocks for that baby and since it differs form regular models here is a chance that no current block will fit

 

[Bodar]

Yeah

I was afraid of that. You dont think my dual pcb waterblock from koolance will fit at all?
I looked up many forums that said it was alot different.. Maybe some liquid nitrogen then? lol
