ASUS Designs Own Monster Dual-GTX 285 4 GB Graphics Card

ASUS has just designed a new monster graphics card that breaks the mold for reference design GeForce GTX 295, called the ASUS MARS 295 Limited Edition. The card, although retains the name "GeForce GTX 295", same device ID, and is compatible with existing NVIDIA drivers, has two huge innovations put in by ASUS, which go far beyond being yet another overclocked GeForce GTX 295: the company used two G200-350-B3 graphics processors, the same ones that make the GeForce GTX 285. The GPUs have all the 240 shader processors enabled, and also have the complete 512-bit GDDR3 memory interface enabled. This dual-PCB monstrosity holds 32 memory chips, and 4 GB of total memory (each GPU accesses 2 GB of it). Apart from these, each GPU system uses the same exact clock speeds as the GeForce GTX 285: 648/1476/2400 MHz (core/shader/memory).

Woof.

I would hate to see how much that one would cost though.

**skunksmash** · 05-31-2009

LOL, I'm sure that it'll help keep the room warm for them up there.

I believe about $1,000 US.

It's a pity that this card will be produced in limited range... only 1000 pieces... gosh, I'd love to have one of these in my system

This card is a Bugatti Veyron among graphic cards

But only for a short while

(afterall GT300 chips are almost finished)

If I got hold of one of these, I'd probably mount it instead.

But you know the driver support will be shocking , games will crash , your pc will overheat and it'll bluescreen all the time , NVidia will give up on it after a few months and you'll be left with a lump of useless expensive hardware that never worked properly since day one
