ASUS MARS 2 Dual GTX 580 Graphics Card Unboxing Mars 2 Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

[BioMoneculaR]

a 1000 watt power supply is as far as i know a must have, cuz under load the card pull´s around 600 watt´s! combine that with a overclocked system ( which u will have for sure if u run such a card ) then i would say better go with a 1200 or a 1500 watt psu!

[TheZepside]

holy shit.. This thing must be able to land on mars...

[ThePosetowns]

this card makes my xbox 360 ports, and minecraft look sick.

[eazzyc35]

its good to play tetra with it

[jordan116327]

To Mars and beyond!!!

[fvelasquezmoros]

thats almost like my laptop specs, 2gb ram 1.0GHz amd c-50 and probably uses more power

[trankhanhvinhan]

One day, the graphic card will be as big as a PSU, and will shit at seperate place just like PSU xD

[AhmadBruv]

Saw it in half and you have 2 cards :)

[mcC2cool]

redneck graphics card XD

[Technojunkyify]

i would fear to use this in my pc... it will break my mainboard xD

[reichstag10]

I think you had accidentally stole our SR71 black box. Please return it, and no one will be hurt.

[MegaStoian]

i want to play bf3 with this card :D

[runescape2play]

You are so hot!!! computer nerd + HOT OMG :( Pss DOnt judge me cuz who im ppl!! :')

[GuerreroXBI]

why does he have so many graphics cards? :O

[Avatarass]

nah, im happy with with my 8800

[DJMath3w]

yes maaan its looks like Minecraft High settings :D

[teras231]

@DJMath3w Minecraft uses almost no graphics just a lot of cpu.

[DJMath3w]

@teras231 I know this was a Joke

[deadlyevildave]

Like the comment below you fucks

[SenoirElChoopoLibre]

Now my keyboard buttons keep sticking :(

[23hocke]

so when are you water cooling this?

[hoketero]

4 is 3 for linus

[TheCamTrain]

9:04 thats what she said haha

[MrSurfur1]

You should try that monster...

[Gce0rge]

Holy shit

[khadeem5]

Would this run on my 800 watt power supply?

[pyronathanpyro]

@khadeem5 yes for sure if your not sure google it and check out what psu conections it needs

[Persason]

Would putting this card in your system count as an SLI card or a single card?

[MrNo1home]

@Persason SLI I believe

[for818]

590's arnt hard to find lol?

[huntergero1]

@for818 i think this was filmed while they were on limited production

[Bhetacarn]

is this your card?

[KNDReaper]

oh how I wish I could have one.

Guess I will need to wait till after basic for this kind of stuff. x.x

[milen899]

can it run minecraft ?

[babarain99]

how many it cost? $?

[mcrayzor1]

@babarain99 2000$ but its limited so u cant get it easy no more

[x0russ0x]

FOUR, YES FOUR....wait...wat?

[helloman2332]

There are children starving in Africa, right now.

[PsykoWaffle]

@helloman2332 if you want to get technical there are children starving all over the world, why dont you sell your computer and stop paying for internet and feed them with the money you would have.

[Rallow]

Did you have to say "price point" when just price alone says the exact same thing!

Phony term man! One of my top 5 pet peeves in the English language.

[PsykoWaffle]

@Rallow Price point and price are 2 vastly different terms it was one of the first things they teach in high school economics class and then again at university.

[PsykoWaffle]

@Rallow Actually no, price point is a more broadened term ie 300-400 price point as price is a set fixed number, price is set and thats that, price point typically changes depending on the demand of said product or service. I only went to university to learn the difference though what do i know.

[hamano09]

how many kilos then?

[TazyTT22]

That Card Is huge

[zPureDzn]

Send me this so I can review it (Troll Face)

[FalconEyez51]

is that card more powerfull than the 7950/7970

[WR1ck1e]

@FalconEyez51 The GTX 590 is more powerful than the 7970. So yes, the MARS II is more powerful.

[romefox]

@FalconEyez51 Yes it is, this card is two gtx 580 attached resulting in equal performance or better then gtx 580 sli setup. The 7970 is the world's most powerful SINGLE gpu card so it will outperform one gtx 580. For the same price as you would pay for this card, however, you can Crossfire 2x 7970 and that will and that outperform everything on the current market and you would still have money left over!

[Sodob1992]

Pegy( she's 18) will wet her panties and then she will take an arrow in the knee when you will mount one of these in your PC lol

[SySimms]

Also..... THE MINECRAFT SENSATION WOULD BE JIZZTASITIC

[SySimms]

Asus and Swifttech should do a collaboration for the next card and release a "Clasified Edition"

with a HUGE water block :D

you would need like a whole loop dedicated for 2 of this in SLI

THE MINECRAFT SENSATION WOULD BE JIZZTASITIC

[GamerKate1]

Remember to have enough room in your case since it's very big and it's very heavy too. I am one of the very fortunate few people in Denmark to have one. I was stunned when I saw how big the card was compared to the other cards I had laying around.

I just had to had one of these MARS II cards to my extreme gaming rig. Btw I'm a female^^

[chesterchow1]

I want to shake the hand of anyone who actually needs to worry about using rampage 3 extreme for 2 of these limited edition $1500 cards.

[ATHENA1231000]

They call that a CARD

[crysis1147852369]

i have the weirdest boner right now

[firewars]

One card that the price could buy good enough spec for every games.

[Xedus661]

that is aaaaa monster

[MrThejoker598]

But can I play Tetris?

[maxxxamt]

it kinda cracks me up that he just has a 6990 just lying around

[sixflagsbelgium]

now lets minecraft with that shit :D



[JerrickohTV]

@sixflagsbelgium minecraft is only cpu and ram....gpu's have no effect on it..

[MrNo1home]

@JerrickohTV gpu's have some effect on minecraft due to the lights, 3D rendering and such, but not that much

[JerrickohTV]

@MrNo1home haha nahh. they way its coded into java it requires any video card integrated or not. only uses cpu and ram for the graphics..lookitup

[FireSqy]

@JerrickohTV Nope, I was running minecraft with integrated gpu (accidentally) fps was like 15-30, when non integrated it was like 70-150.

[TheGenesisfreak]

@sixflagsbelgium um you can play minecaft with a video card from 1997 you just need a good processor

[1pnoe]

Yeah linus, its 2 dvi - 1 display port - 1 HDMI. Come on man :P

[darkheat246]

I don't really need to watch this video as when I saw these in dual SLI they dipped under 20 fps on max settings for a FPS game motherboardsdotorg played. I'll stick to either dual 6990's or 4 way crossfire 7990's. Well more over the quadfire 7990's they have a higher performance then crossfired 6990's

[TypicalPete]

holy shit...that is one huge card

[MegaCrustyButt]

Whaaaa, I'll stay with my 2 6970's....

[tamara97170]

nice graphic card I have Ati radeon HD 5770 :D

[azamtheawesome]

this is a fucking monster !

[AvengedSevenfold421]

have u attached your motherboard on your graphics card yet? xD

[spyshocker]

whenever are you gonna need that much power!

[farchord]

@spyshocker Asus Nuclear-powered 25000W PSU sold separately.

[wronggeneration1994]

and yes 4 8-pin connectors,just correcting you

[Michael0075]

That thing is ridiculous,...... :D I like, I like,... yeeesssssss. Extra beefy, extra meaty graphics card! You know what would be funny though? Take one of those GPUs, put it on an interface like one for an Intel i7 socket, put it under the same class of cooling system used by an Intel i7 CPU and overclock that thing to a blistering 4 GHz clock speed. Pair it up with 4 GHz *(Actual physical clock speed) 8GB of DDR5 memory and see how it handles Battlefield 3 or Call of Duty Modern Warefare 3!

[LiptonPfirsichEistee]

OMG! and i thought the 6950/70/90 were huge :O

[TheMask180]

so 2 580's in sli is the same as this?

[TheLunchBawx]

@TheMask180 not exactly the same, because ur processor would have to process 2 pci slots and itd take up more space and run hotter.

[FlourescentPotato]

I feel for the 1 guy who wanted SLI, but couldn't get it cause there are 999 of these and not 1000.

[anygameonpc]

what's wrong with vga i'm running my monitor on vga and it's 1600x900 and it looks fine i don't get

why everyone hates vga?

[TheLunchBawx]

@anygameonpc its kind of yellow once you switch u will never go back

[TheInnovationGaming]

@anygameonpc Its getting old... And DVI and HDMI give better image quality.

[UltraS2903]

1767 e :@

[donvoisko]

yes, there are 3 8pin conns, not 4

[MikeWoottonUK]

Where/How much? Can't find any prices online. Just a curiosity

[MikeWoottonUK]

Holy fuck, over 1K for just the one card.

[hyldran0]

To bad i'm poor...

[bluelabruno]

like a fucking toster! omg! Nice! 

[GamerGod9590]

*drool*

[Thorkle13]

actually the gtx 590 runs two gtx 570's...

[FruityLoopsification]

i think youd be better off just running 3 gtx 580s in sli. same price, more performance.

[TinosMods]

Why not 8 Gigs RAM?

[TeQuiiLaSHoTZz]

what a beast!!!

[xxGODxOFxWAR]

I HAVE SEEN COMPUTERS SMALLER THEN THAT GRAPHICS CARD:D I want one...

[Imapoorbastard]

Finally someone saying Asus right, most people saying it like aces.

That card would fit probably in my case, but i would need to re-arrange my cables though.

I would have called it venus because of the sexynesss,Mars is kinda well you know LOL.

[superguy106]

I believe I saw 3 8-Pin connectors :D

[zappa2001]

A dual 7970 would probably be called a 7990 if AMD continues with it's previous naming scheme.

[EphinEcko]

I could imagine people pre-ordered and sold it the day after for 150% to 200% of what it's worth... It's sad to think of it but no doubt someone did it. Them greedy, selfish people!!

[tavi921]

Pffff, this is already outdated, how about two gtx 680 or two hd 7970 gpus on a single pcb. Now that's powah!

[TheSunStalker]

what a monster card!

[PsiloCybinDreamX]

lol first it was 2 8pins then 4 8 pins :)

[MrNeuro77]

who the hell could possible fit that into their computer lmao

[legendforlife101]

@MrNeuro77

most people with a decent case.. :L

[1BYEBYE1]

@MrNeuro77 me.

[beclauss]

This is the biggest card ever........

[BurnShot226]

OVERKILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AAAAtugboats]

isn't that a gtx 590?

[NGUpremier]

@AAAAtugboats No because this has the REAL power of two 580's, the 590's are two underclocked and very limited 580's when compared to this.

[1BYEBYE1]

@AAAAtugboats no.

[IXECSTACYXI]

this is crazy shit

[TheCrazySquirell]

Do you think you could get your hands on another one? and then test them against crossfire 7970's?

[1BYEBYE1]

@TheCrazySquirell why, this would destroy an amd 7970

[TheCrazySquirell]

@1BYEBYE1 Read my comment again... CROSSFIRE 6970's....

[1BYEBYE1]

@TheCrazySquirell i did you said "7970's" and again 2 of these WOULD DESTROY 2 "7970's"

[TheCrazySquirell]

@1BYEBYE1 JESUS CHRIST! Are you brain dead? Its as clear as day that two of these would spank two 7970's... Do the world a favour, shut up.

[PattMyGun]

@TheCrazySquirell I'll give you that but in the real world you can easily get your hands on two 7970's where as its near impossible to get one mars 2 card let alone two.

[1BYEBYE1]

@TheCrazySquirell dude, calm your tits. if you've been reading any of your comments, as well as mine. you would come to realize that i said. "THE MARS 2 IS BETTER THEN THE 7970" but then you go on saying "Read my comment again... CROSSFIRE 6970's..." so now you have changed from 7970 to 6970 wtf. and now you went back. dude the whole time i've been saying the 7970's would be raped by a mars 2. so go back to grade 1 and learn how to read.

[thelsamar23]

@1BYEBYE1 Yes, but 580 sli is fucking expensive. One 7970 vs gtx 580= 7970 wins, and its cheaper.

[1BYEBYE1]

@thelsamar23 ...thats not the point. the point is its 2 gtx 580's put on 1 card. there is no 2 7970's put on 1 card. so stfu your point is invalid.

[thelsamar23]

@1BYEBYE1 Hey, nvidiafanboy, you sir, are stupid. Crossfire 7970 will outperform SLI 580. No doubt. And I don't fucking care if its put on one card or not. Woow... The stupidity on you i HUGE...

[1BYEBYE1]

@thelsamar23 GOD HOLY SHIT!!FUCKEN HELL I'M NOT SAYING 1 OF THESE CARDS WOULD BEAT 2 7970'S. IN THE ORIGINAL POST SOME GUY SAID "i want to see 2-way sli mars 2 (SO 2 MARS 2 PUT TOGETHER FOR 4-WAY SLI) AGAINST...2 7970's HOLY FUCKING SHIT THE MARS 2 WOULD WIN BECAUSE ITS UNFAIR NOW STFU SMD AND GTFO i'm not repling to anymore of these useless convo's.

[TheCrazySquirell]

@1BYEBYE1 Oh shut up... It's kind of obvious I meant 7970's when I said 6970's. Why am I even sponsoring a conversation with a retard like you, and to answer my own question, two 7970's in crossfire will beat the mars II.

[Andy26473]

3:25 thats what she said :)

[HyllHound]

AGP o_O..wtf you have a board like that still

[SCHEISSKLAUS3D]

nice polo shirt

[TrollfaceToke]

Holy shit O_o

[TheMuppenator]

that card could be classified as a second motherboard....

[mingzaiboy89]

Monster!!!



[ikkel33]

Can it handle watercooling? That would be cool, that way, a 4 way SLI is possible.

[unokilo321]

@ikkel33 it's dual 580's.. two of them would have four gpus... if you had two MARS cards it would be quad sli

[Andy26473]

@ikkel33 yes and i have done it, It is a BEAST!!!

[Genalvin]

Little stoppers? B!tch please, Aint no stopping that beast...

[ImAKillZoneFan]

Just got mine its a beast

[colpoinfernaleomicid]

I don't know what is the utility of this monster card! I have a gtx 480 OC and i can play to all games without any compromise at 1920x1080. This card is only a caprice for poor benckmarkers

[321ActionBrothers]

But only for somebody who haven't understood this joke. You won't never ever put the Mars 2 into a Motherboard like this, if you don't know why google bottleneck.

[Hayro3500]

i hate u!!!!! i want it!!!!!!

[UltraNSC]

3:24

[sorooshusa]

Please stop, I have no more jizz left in me! Every day I wake up and masturbate to this card! OMG this card is my religion. I want one and I have to have one :((

[UltraNSC]

@sorooshusa Forget this Card, get a Kepler GPU in few months, it will beat this Mars 2, 4 ever ^^

[sorooshusa]

@UltraNSC Damn, but how much is the new video card? is there a video review?

[UltraNSC]

@sorooshusa it will be surely the same price as the Mars 2

But the good thing will be, that just one single Chip will be so fast and strong like one GTX 590

Im not sure, but i think it will come out a GTX 780, maybe thei will call it also GTX 680, whatever, one of them will have the Power of a GTX 590 and this only with single chip, so just imagine, when thei make a Dual Kepler GPU. i just say O M F G !

So just wait and keep have Pacience, Kepler GPUs will be best ever in the history !

[sorooshusa]

@UltraNSC I heard they are working on Maxwell GPUs which are supposed to be 4-6 times the performance of that of Kepler. what do you guys think the price is gonna be?

[crazyweedude]

4way this o_o

[psarena]

You're the best,I really enjoy in your reviews!

[ipwn3r123]

So umm theres 8 pins power connector...

one 8 pin = 150w power

three 8 pins = 450w power.....

plus the PCIE 2.0 slot gives 75 watts..... so this card uses 525 watts power max?

[defgill]

I wonder if i can play pinball with this card...

[damakauai]

@defgill no you need 2 of them



[yycproductions]

I bet that could run minecraft on fancy.

[1337Water]

@yycproductions I think you are going overkill there :/

[yycproductions]

@1337Water Who doesn't want to pay hundreds and hundreds to run such an amazing game on fancy?

[TankLankan]

@yycproductions Maybe If You Overclock It A Bit More

[TheTardis157]

To buy it costs the same as 2 590GTX cards why no have quad SLI for the price of Dual. I think that defeats the 22% better performance of this card.

[groberti]

@TheTardis157 Not neccesarily, just if the program supports quad SLi.

[dderkas]

HOLY FUCK!!! That is all I have to say.

[jmaster8555]

are you rich or do you have a sponsor or what?

[heycoa1]

30 people are ATI/AMD fanboys.

[Vo0oOo0oV]

@heycoa1 am a ATI/AMD fanboy but liked the video because of very powerful amd video carts i have no reason to hate nvidia and most likely i like nvidia too.. stop being smart asses over the internet because both nvidia and ati are amazing video cards its just matter of which one you buy and when ( the date of release).. thank you

[MrBoxfacetramp13]

@heycoa1 Or Don't Like the price point ;] Although i did like the video =D

[SandelTaur]

@heycoa1 I/We'll take that as a compliment. nVidia is a decent VGA company but this card is Asus thing it has nothing to do with the gpu manufacturers. Go nVidia and AMD, more competing better for us, the consumers.

[MaxSiegmayer]

@heycoa1

32

[linglingjr]

and how much is it

[kyte1230]

geekgasm

[PCEliT1ST]

Battlefield 3 on Ultra Settings with Vsync ON = FAP FAP FAP

[WomboBraker]

@PCEliT1ST thats enough to run it 5200 x 3200 reso. only single 570 with decent cpu can do that =D
