Asus Mars GTX 295 runs Far Cry at 2160p

[Suckbutton]

I believe BigPunch0 meant "Far Cry 2"...

[CLICKMEYOULOSER]

Just like the 8800GT ULTRA, it will be outdated in like a year and a half.

[DaFish1337]

Why do so many people disable Anti-Aliasing? The are running the (at that date) fastest card in SLI, don't enable AA and call that maxed out?

[Nimerbushnaq]

@DaFish1337 at that resolution you wont see any difference

[MouthofSaurons]

@Nimerbushnaq Maybe you wont, but some will.

[ChibiNinjax002]

yea but will it blend?

[Trualdie]

At first i thought it was a car engine o.0

[evilfreethinker]

My 3DFX is COOLER :D

[h4xmode]

Why don't they make these special edition cards with Koolance waterblocks, but with Waterblock decals? Like the EVGA Hydrocopper GTX 590. With cards like these Liquid Cooling should have been first as a standard cooling method. Running dual GTX 285's on the same card (even with 2 PCB's) is a lol.I would've liked a sexy waterblock cover. Something with the motherboards, they should come with ROG special edition waterblocks, and have the same fin design.

[xMandalorex]

and how can it run 2160p if NO MONITOR supports it to public now?

dumb asses lol

[LianellEsorrasilome]

where the heck do you find this card anyways? I guess it'll be nice to have in a while, once the price is a bit more reasonable.

[PatomokNoya]

aaaam XP ???

[owman666]

ahahahha, i just beated that highscore on d3mark Vantage with my HD 5970

[MidNiteR32]

Yeah but can it run Crysis?

[quangluu96]

@MidNiteR32 it eats crysis :O

[Drebln893]

LOOOL This card is just desperate for attention...but...meh!!! you gets no love from me -.-

[irak33]

hm i wonder if this can run Counter Strike 1.6..

LOL

[silverthegamehogxx]

He sounded funny.

[i8fiveZigZagz]

He was getn shot up and all he was worried about was lightn up that "grow field"

[psp785]

there's no AA turned on bs I want to see crysis in this res with mods

[CSSPWNER1494]

shit what a qulaity OO

[nero2103]

this outdated card is so expensive i rather buy an ati which performs better

way to go nvidia...

[capatais777]

5.000 dollars?



[ZoldierrZzz]

Which monitor today can do 2160p ?

[alex5stelistu]

mine is better xD

[will891410]

i will buy it soon

[11bane11]

Fire hurts derp

[SpareOneLoseone]

no AA??

[GodGunsAndGlory]

@SpareOneLoseone "2160p"

[AdeonC]

So, basically, the advantage you get is to see every visual flaw the game has to show.

[Supernighter]

fuck that it can run far cry at 2160 IN SLI LOOK AT 1.20

[mamba360]

nice

ooooooooooooooo la la

[kk45727remake]

There are faster graphics cards...

[NGT2O6]

just a gay card. will be outdated in 1 year

[Trentonater47]

@NGT2O6 it still 3dmarks better than any other card right now

[TiranusTX]

@Trentonater47 haha a regular 5970 smoke this card no mention the ASUS ARES OR 5970 4GB TOXIC ARE THE KINGS NOW.

[spartand001]

@TiranusTX ironicly ares and mars is made by ASUS

[spartand001]

@spartand001 *are

[KingOfSand100]

@NGT2O6 if you live by that logic you might as well never guy another PC part ever again.

[KingOfSand100]

@NGT2O6 buy*

[Vexus666]

@NGT2O6 This card is still one of the best out there. Personally, if I had one, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

[Disinf3ctant]

@Vexus666

Well you should trade it for a GTX 580 haha. 

[frozenskipper]

@NGT2O6 mars 2 exsists XD

[Masterincommander]

@NGT2O6 It is, just as you predicted...oh mighty messiah

[cobrastomas]

lol i run far cry 2 1920x1200 aa8x all ultra whit 113 fps average, so will run 2160p well

[TheXKaiser]

crazy 2160p

[alterbr33d]

2160p? What screen is this? I would like to do this with eyefinity. Take four 1920x1080p projectors to make 3840x2160p.

[CobraGMW2]

@alterbr33d atleast it doesnt have a frame each monitor

[1pcGAMER4ever1]

GTX 480 is better than this card

[techtoda]

oh yea i have a brand spanking new alien ware computer with 3.66 Ghz I9 MAx proccessor

32gb of ram

ASUS MARS DUAL VGA card which features 2x GTX 285 GPU's in one unit. thats the best grafics in the world right now

12 terabites of hdd

and 500gb flash hd

32 inch 1080p monitor with hdmi

i can run crysis full quality with 210fps

of corse 64 bit system

[GamerRigz]

Anybody heard about the Asus ares card? two overclocked 5870s on one board. it has 2 pci 6 and 1 pci 8 slots.

[josiprietkovic]

josiprietkovic @S1lence696 @SsEeBbEeXx srry dude but GTX 295 ASUS MARS is faster then HD 5970... GTX 480 is even faster then HD 5970

No,it's not.Go to GPU Review and compare them.

[MrAnsh1991]

@josiprietkovic haa wat u say that the gtx 295 is faster than the 5970 rats ass . hey u stupid fuck GTX 295 is dx 10 card and ddr3 and the 5970 is a dx 11 card as well DDR5 no heat at all. in your 480 GTX AND GTX 295 it fucks specially 480 GTX 100C with the default state fucks us all 480GTX AND 5970 is almost same performance but ATI wins in the Middle

[xmacina7477]

If I got many money I buy this video card.

[jakejackjoe]

i'd love to see that in person..

[mnmosh2008]

bhoo bhoo = 2 . 2 ^^..

[thegreatgingerness]

two words .... how much?

[13vafanculo]

23% higher for 212% more money thats amazing for fuck sake who the fuck wants to buy it if your gonna use for 6 month then dx11 will be up and running

[IgOrvElJo]

something better will come out and this will become trash. I use the xfx 5970 and i like it.

[tsunayoshi987]

u must be incredibly rich get 2-4 of them and crossfire it and play it on a tv with max including 240hz refresh rate

[IgOrvElJo]

No, i dont see the point of doing that. I got the card thanks to dad. But i dont think geting 2 of them and put it on a crossifre connection coz of the demands of extremely high psu and mobo support. And you cant get above 2 for a crossfire connection because only 2 ati cards can be supported in a crossfire connection. Im sticking with 1 because its all i need. And having a tv to play on would be lame im sticking with my 25 inch monitor.

[SsEeBbEeXx]

ATI Radeon HD 5970 Forever! :D:D

[S1lence696]

@SsEeBbEeXx srry dude but GTX 295 ASUS MARS is faster then HD 5970... GTX 480 is even faster then HD 5970

[johnyrockshell]

I actually got my hands on one of these bad bays, comin in the mail :) btw i have 1600p

[8u9o0p]

Asus mars have 4GB :P

[T0BBi94]

welll if im not wrong there is some graphic cards that have 2gig ?!? and if you crossfire them?!? xP

[illincrux]

Obviously, that's over kill to have that much video memory since you're never going to fully utilize it.

[WalterSolano]

n if u crossfire/sli the asus mars? = 8gb

[acer0169]

I'd be happy to spend the £800 to have one of these :]

[ub3r1337pwn4g3]

A good collection for enthusiastic gamers? A real gamer would build the same PC for half the price of what it will probably be

[eggplant1994]

I say, get 4 Asus Mars, fuckin QUAD-SLI that shit, and be set for any game made from now till 2050.

[manbearpig91]

But wouldnt it be 8-way SLI if its got 2 280's per card, then that means if you put 4 in a system it would be 8 GTX 280's. Im not sure even a supreme ultra computer crafted from magic obsidian by the proud dwarfs of middle earth can handle that kind of power.

[delomorganano]

..wow yuu r smart. You have about 15 sentences straight of lies, starting from that this will be outdated in 6 months..WHAT?!the ps3/xbox quality is SO FAR AWAY FROM THIS AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN BE. It's like you're comparing ford fiesta and a formula 1 car. Then you start flaming maldiga about how he looks even though you have never seen him nor will you ever, and you probably live 1000 miles away from him. you sir, are unbelieveably stupid. Amazing that your married and still so immature

[delomorganano]

@Suncreation666 the fun thing is suncreation, that if you got a hold of something even remotely close to this you would use it on porn and destroy it.

[maldiga]

@Suncreation666 why is a console fanboy fag watching this?

[geforce68ultra]

thats gotta have awesome performance though price makes me wanna go DAMMNN!!

[DarthJe5us]

listen up ati fanboys...ever heard of the tesla and quadro series?look it up

nothing ati has measures up to that to my knowing

[manbearpig91]

i wasnt aware that was used for gaming, but if you have that kind of ability, holy fuck that would be awsome. Two TESLAS in SLI would like eat the universe or something. Provided it could be optimized for games.

[tenshitaiakuma]

@manbearpig91 A Tesla is nothing more than a desktop card, with no video out, software optimized for GPGPU tasks.

[jamesstone123]

@TehNubinz

with the stats fermi has ATI will be on the backwater for the next 3 years for enthusiasts.

I have said this before and i will say it again, ATI has been getting its priorites wrong - there is no point in developing GDDR5 memory over clock speeds when no other technology can support it - by sticking with GDDR3 nvidia have been able to concentrate on what matters.

Although ATI will be taking the prize for budget cards if nvidia's price bracket for fermi is accurate

[L00peey]

@TehNubinz i meant gtx 295. and 5970 is not dual other wise it would be 5970x2

[lootehcris]

ur so freakin retarded

[xboxlive6]

Yeah 23% Better and OVER 9000% expensive

[gameswindows]

poor ati-amd =)

[smartguy9765]

yeah, their 5970 is better, i feel sorry for them

[smartguy9765]

the HD5970 is cheaper AND better.

[gameswindows]

@smartguy9765 hahaha

[manbearpig91]

AND just as hard to find. But yeah, until we see some benchmarks your right.

[im0309]

Doesn't 1 294 = 2x 275?

[wccwfanman5]

he says the thing is amazing,but is the price amazing.......ill give it a HELL NO

[BigPunch0]

It's already out

[geraldlkc]

When it's gonna be launch?

[geraldlkc]

lol. He doesn't play games.

[13vafanculo]

1000 pounds so not that cheap and dont even try to buy 2 it is massive and you will be able to fry an egg on top of the case watercolling not yet viable ;p

[Zilencez94]

I've seen one in RL D:

[Aragiss]

so they made just a thousand of this card. theyre sold for 1250 dollars each. 1000x1250 = 1.250.000 dollars. It was probably cos just as much to make this card right?? so Asus is basically doing a favor :P

[NassimHarameinVedas]

not worth $1250 . . . 2 x XFX 5850 black edition is overkill for any game and costs only $700.

[geraldlkc]

Unless u opt for ultimate performance...ASUS MARs rules.

[NassimHarameinVedas]

@geraldlkc even if I wanted "ultimate performance" I wouldn't buy the marketing douche stunt that is the "ASUS MARS".

The XFX 5970 black edition dominates everything, not to mention if You get 2 of them which would still cost less than 1 mars candy card.

[hexstaticleon]

@NassimHarameinVedas

very true, 5970 owns all TBH !!

but would the ASUS version of the 5970 be better than the XFX version? ASUS having redeigned the board and using higher quality parts, also having their voltage tweak technology?

[NassimHarameinVedas]

@hexstaticleon

Have to agree with You. Personally I love the ASUS 5970 but it's almost impossible to find meanwhile the XFX 5970 BE is "obtainable" : ) and is an overclocked edition of the ASUS card.

Since I'm going with an ASUS P6x58D Premium mobo I'd prefer to have an ASUS GPU as well . . . we'll see.

I just wish I knew which case to get, I love the Tt level 10 and am stupid enough to pay the fee to obtain it, but have no data on whether that chassis cools the MOBO/CPU/GPU well. ???

[hexstaticleon]

what about the CM Cosmos S ??

this is the case ive chosen to house my P6T7 WS SuperComputer MoBo and ASUS 4890's in crossfire (which arrive in the post today :-)

i can get hold of the ASUS EAH5970 in the UK, but its around 530.00 GBP , around $1000 USD !!!!! soooo expensive lol !!

[NassimHarameinVedas]

if You google it (shopping) lowest price I've seen is $669.99 + free shipping. Not a bad deal at all for the XFX 5970 black edition (fastest 5970 card).

[S1lence696]

lol ati just fails, nvidia is 100% ftw

[hexstaticleon]

nvidia is crap tbh, the 5970 kicks the arse out of all of nvidia's cards :-)

[S1lence696]

not even close! my gts 250 pwns it hardly

[L00peey]

@hexstaticleon and the best thing about it is the gtx280 and 290 are 2gpu's, where as the ati 5970 is one. nvidia will have a hard time coming back, then ati can make it dual gpu's. cant wait for that it will fuck over any game

[geraldlkc]

@NassimHarameinVedas No offense here. Then, let's wait for the 300 series to be launch (1st quad of 2010) and see whether the 300 series will be a great pef. improvement against the ASUS Mars(bar). Like u said 5970 pwn currently , (my estimation - till 3rd quad 2010), would they (ATi/AMD) produce a 6000series card to out-beat the 300 series in future??? Not bias'ing ATi, Nvidia seems to be a greater performer, not solely on games but Applications (photoshop, HD contents etc.) Ur opinion?

[youtububie]

OMFG 4gigs of video ram :O

[Aragiss]

omg, two gtx 285's smashed into one. 1024-bit bus width is ridiculously powerful :P

[pogodrummer]

UAN GHIGABIT!!!

[pspgeek11]

omg my god !!

[BuffMcGruff1]

thats insane.

[SoldierCyfix]

lol, i wonder what the cost will be. an arm? a leg? or both

[huffdiggler]

there crap, have loads of issues and have been discontinued, they did cost around £1000 each, not worth jack shit, why? no dx11 extension, school boy error bring out a hugely powerful card, but don't get latest toy's for it.

[trancerecordlabel]

your balls ;)

[XResidentXEvilX5X]

Wow

[drewcute2000]

holy shit !!!

[67CopperHead]

i never saw the GTX 295 Mars Edison come out at newegg i wonder why

[Foellarbear]

cause they are about $1000 for each card. lol

[audioamateur]

I wonders what the point is of outputting 2160p if there's not screen to run it at that resolution

[Simplemindedgenius]

Of course there are screens that run at that res, where are you? 1960?.....

[audioamateur]

Yes, maybe two that are commercially available today.

In any ways, there are little use for such resolution in todays application

[supertrinko]

for me, bragging rights

[audioamateur]

*there is

[PianoGermz]

Good gracious.

[wcub4]

Too bad the new HD5970 is much faster lol :p Or get 2 x HD5870

[killerz102]

its not faster the gtx 295 is much much faster look at the benchmarks before u talk.

[wcub4]

Haha, do you need friggin glasses. The HD5970 owns a GTX 295.

[killerz102]

lol No i do not need frigging glasses, i just thought u were saying 4970 xD sorry.

[trancerecordlabel]

hahaha in your dreams buddy XD

[killerz102]

lol yeah i thought he was talking bout either the 4970 or i think the 5870 not the 5970 thats all lol.

[FadeTheMage]

@killerz102 There is no 4970. ^^

[killerz102]

the RV770 chip is the 4970.

[FadeTheMage]

@killerz102 Uhh. I've yet to see a 4970.

Mind linking me one?

[tthwrthwrhthwrth]

i hate asus

[BeefCause]

I saw it, its very big monster.

[k9crysis]

ZOMG??? it says that the GTX 295 Mars has 4 GB GRAM , NOT!!! 6 GB GRAM! LOL

[enzo1st]

bullshit, no AA, settings are not very high

[k9crysis]

AA is not everything dumbass

[cosmin989]

lol six gigabit

[Manewalis]

imagine 2 mars cards in sli . core i7 overclocked to 4 ghz . unbeleivable power !

[Metalheadplus1]

i7 extreme clocked to 4.5 :-P

[ghosthunter2006]

stop burning those trees!!!!!!!!

[rumpelstiltskins]

this is already out in japan,very expensive one....

[mupp33n]

And a single 5870 runs 3 monitors at 5040x1050

[TheChosenAd]

lol yes but not a game on max quality...

[mupp33n]

It does actually..

[TheChosenAd]

u cant compare those cards, the 5870 is higher generation... u should compare it with the new Nvidia cards when theyre released

[mupp33n]

Yeah, compare to the new nvidia cards, who will by that time be new and the current ati cards will be old by then, not really a fair comparison, really.

And nvidia is only focusing on retarded physx and slowing down the DX11 this gen aswell.

[TheChosenAd]

hehe ati cards will be down again for long time ones the new nvidia cards are released... they said something about up to 6GB GRAM PER GPU :D

[mupp33n]

But nvidia isnt focusing on DX11 that much and get your IQ straight, ofcourse the NEW Nvidia cards (which are coming ~2010) will beat the current (by that time OLD) ati cards.

[TheChosenAd]

same with NEW ATI pwning the "old" (roflmao) gtx 295 :P

[mupp33n]

GTX295 is dualgpu, the ati are single gpu..

Also check the price diff.

[Manewalis]

2160p>???? do ui get that res LCD tvs??

[antec12gtx260]

25 is perfectly smooth unless all u do is just spin round in circles

[antec12gtx260]

100+ is pointless 25 is perfectly smooth

[TURCH1]

what the point of making any computer part a collectors edition. although theres only 1000 made like all parts itll be a paperweight in a few years and itll have no value

[themainmanishere]

I love this card. But I am not sure that I would be able to get it in time.

Wish Me Luck

[Bogdan901]

A'ight who would buy this c..card when DX11 is right behind the corner, and when GT300, and 5xxx series comes out, what on Earth I'm gonna do with it?

[LordDonib]

1200 euro's only to run far cry 2 at 2160p...

Waste of money.

[superman559cali]

does that game run at native 2160p or is it upscaled?

[andrewjax]

That TV is awesome, what is it?

[bringerzz]

what LCd mon is that ?? the big one !!

[freddieman23]

It probably looks better than real life..

[rathy21]

lol theres four 2 gpu's on each board

[shotta2545]

i am sure this would rape crysis.

[superman559cali]

It will not rape crysis if it was upscaled

[francomarchioni]

I don´t know why they call it GTX295.... they redesigned it entirely. Mems, bus, freqs......it´s a complete different vga

[carrot5000]

yeh i have to agree with that...silly people.

[fpsraab]

Oh my GOD..........

[BigPunch0]

One of my friends bought one of these

[kassu09]

if i would be millionare iw ould sli these cards =)
