ASUS creates dual GeForce GTX 285 GPU MARS 295 Limited Edition "Frankencard"
Here’s a card that will offer any gamer the ultimate bragging rights … for a while. The ASUS MARS 295 Limited Edition takes two of the fastest GPUs available to create the ultimate graphics card.
The ASUS MARS 295 Limited Edition takes two GeForce 285 circuit boards (not 295 GPUs as the name suggests) featuring NVIDIA’s fastest single-GPU and joins them together via a built-in SLI bridge. But that’s not all! ASUS has kitted out each board with 2GB of GDDR3.
The result? A Frankencard!
- Dual 55nm GPUs clocked at 648MHz
- 480 stream processors, clocked at 1,476MHz
- 4,096MB of GDDR3 memory
- 2,125 peak GFLOPS and a peak fillrate of 41.47 Gpixel/s
If one of these cards isn’t enough then you could always get two and set up a quad-GPU SLI system.
The photo above says “Limited Edition 1/1000″ on the card, and if this is the case expect to pay some serious bucks for this card.
