Aaah yes, today a review on that product you all know and heard about yet can not buy. Either for budget reasons .. or sheer lack of availability in the market.
Yes the ASUS MARS finally arrived at the premises of Guru3D.com
If you have been living under a rock and don't know what the ASUS Mars is .. let me give you an easy breakdown. You take two GeForce GTX 285 graphics cards, stick 4 GB of memory on there (2GB per GPU), sandwich them, SLI them up, market it as MARS, slap a limited edition label on there and make only a 1000 units. That in a nutshell is the product we'll be testing today.
Of course the dynamics are way more advanced then that horrendous simple explanation as this card is quite something alright. Just think about the simple stuff like it is a downright bitching job to cool down two GTX 285 GPUs on air. ASUS definitely succeeded,
With much success as the MARS has to be one of the better marketed product out there as it's receiving a lot of media coverage, which really is all this product is about. ASUS is surprised though, this product is intended as a very limited series/batch of only a thousand cards, yet at a recent summit they there already where rumors of creating a second batch.
So without making a long and boring introduction, let's pop one of these little frackers into our finest test system and see where it ends up performance wise .. will this really be the fastest graphics card in the world anno September 2009 ?
Let's find out, next page please but not before you have had a chance to look at the product hard at work in our test system.
ASUS Mars II review
We've seen the original brutal Mars, the exemplary ARES but ASUS is at it again with the all new Mars II, yep that's right. The x-factor products makes it prodigal return to manage a little bump and grinding. Money aside, the dual-GPU product tested today is uber cool though. It's the stuff that make my digitized ticker go tick a little faster -- and once you have it in your hands, you'll make a nervous giggle. Ah well, talk is cheap, have a look and then we'll head onwards into the review of the Lucifer of graphics cards.
