[exfileme]

Asus is heading to Mars, but not in a planetary sense. The company has gotten frisky and has designed the Asus Mars 295 Limited Edition, a revamp of the GeForce GTX 295.

Lol Nvidia's mad becaus they did not think about it first lol

 

[tipmen]

Nice job, can't wait to see some benchmarks on this. I wonder how much it will cost :-/.

 

[eddieroolz]

Damn that is one nice looking GPU, and it should perform crazy too!

I want one *drool*

 

[maddogoo9]

(GTX 285)2+heat sync = top of the line
($449.99)2+ 80~ = 978~

i think we will see a single chip gpu out late this year, hope we find out soon

 

[Shadow703793]

Nice! I want one. Hopefully that reference cooler is enough for every day use.

 

[maddogoo9]

I didn't know they still made VHS taps.

Wider memory bus on already a huge card I'll give asus props on that but that's just a gluttonous card to see. Wonder why asus does these extreme custom cards sometimes.

Nope they never did.... they made tapes though 😛

 

[IronRyan21]

This thing looks like a spaceship. I wonder if Asus will lend it to NASA. Maybe it will get us to MARS.....LOL.

 

[Raidur]

Lol yeah, or an ammo clip for a space troopers gun.

[neon neophyte]

im surprised they named it the gtx 295 still. especially considering they want to avoid being slapped down by nvidia for not making the "gtx 295" reference. they should have named it something else. like... "gtx 285x2" haha, im sure ati wouldnt mind toooo much.

 

[apache_lives]

Can i tri-sli some of these mofo's?

 

[Luscious]

Drool - all I need now are 2 of these and a nehalem skulltrail mobo.

 

[hundredislandsboy]

Okay, they just upped the ante. So now it's a race between XFX and EVGA to fuse THREE GTX 285s together, a triple wide video card with it's power supply and power cord too?

 

[Gin Fushicho]

Holy crap.... now for once I actually want a 295 , and I broke down and just bought 1 GTX260... damnit. =/

XFX and EVGA aren't they type to make custom cards it's up to sparkle, Galaxy, Gigabyte to do that work.

Do you happen to have a handy 3,000$ donation you would like to give to TH? lol

 

[dingumf]

This will in quad sli will probably achieve the performance of a low end GT300

Actually humorous. 😛

But seriously, it IS a GTX 295, because remember that the normal 295 ALSO HAS "The GPUs themselves, one on each PCB, have all the 240 shader processors enabled..."

The original article is even worse, implying that some of the 240 cores on the 295 are disabled, even though the GPUs in the 295 are physically the same 55nm GPU that's in the 285 and the 275. Correct me someone if I'm wrong...

 

[jerreece]

I just wanna see some benchmarks.
