ASUS MARS II Dual GTX 580 3GB Graphics Card Review

news · August 26, 2011

This time around we have a successor to the MARS - the NVIDIA version

that combines two top-level GPUs on a single PCB. The new ASUS MARS

II we are reviewing today is a pair of binned GTX 580 GPUs paired

together for full-time SLI and built with a limited edition run of 999

units. In many ways the MARS II and the ARES share a lot of traits:

custom designed cooling and PCB, a unique aesthetic design, limited

edition status and significant physical weight as well. Of course,

the price tag is also pretty high and if you aren't comfortable

reading about a $1300 graphics card you might as well turn around

now... For those that dare though, you can be sure that the MARS II

will have you dreaming about PC gaming power for years to come!

Quote: "The ASUS MARS II Dual GPU GTX 580 3GB graphics card isn't

something that is built for most gamers. Instead it is built to show

off the engineering talents at ASUS, the capability the company has to

produce truly one-of-a-kind designs and to push the limits of the

technology they have access to. In traditionally "flagship" mentality

the MARS II is priced outside the realm of most gamers' budgets but I

don't think there will be any problem for ASUS to sell a cool thousand

of them."

Thanks for a post!!
