ROG MARS II Graphics Card Quad SLI Performance Testing

[sorooshusa]

running The Witcher 2 in 3D will bring these cards totheir knees ;)

[akhilfastgamer]

in the box it required a 1000 watts PSU so why did you use dual mars 2 in a 1200 watts

PSU

[iamowari]

Amazing… but I expected better performance since its 4x 580? and please show video of the actual cards I can’t see it, I only see a small blur in the left corner that looks like a gcard.

[SephyCyndi]

He has 2 of them... 2 cards less from the 999 left... we're mad bro!

[sMkasdf]

holy shit!

[zarja73]

HI JJ, what is the best drivers should be used with two mars 2??

because mine does not work with version 295.51

it works fine with one card.

[poop333x2]

why do people think V-sync and Anti aliasing do nothing? for me? it makes a huge difference, my eyes get irritated with even the slightest frame flicker. i was watching my friend play crysis 2 on his rig, he turned off both, i asked him why did he turn them off if his rig can handle it, and he turned to me and said it's unnecessary. while he was playing, i pointed out the COMPLETELY visible frame flickering and he couldn't see it.

[HaveSomeQuark]

fucking rich people cards with 1k cores. >.<

[halakalashas]

Do a benchmark on a cs 1.6 how fps that would be? 0.o?

[jutenheim223]

i thought MARS II have dual GTX580's not 590's

[henhoci]

@jutenheim223 yeah, your right, MARS II uses complete dual GTX580s.

[metal571]

48 fps without AA is terrible on crysis 2 lol and i saw horrible microstuttering on some of those tests...

[isaac9517]

@metal571 do you have 3 monitors?

[REPOMAN24722]

Is it loud?

[fatmouth007]

So tihs is basically 8 GTX 580s?

GOD DAHM!

[dipswad1]

@fatmouth007

no, 4. they say quad sli because there are 2 gpu's on each card. there are 2 cars and each have 2 gpus's on them

[fatmouth007]

@dipswad1 Im a dumbass. Thanks for correcting me.

[dipswad1]

@fatmouth007

im sorry if you took it in the wrong way, im just informing you about it so you dont make a mistake when you are talking to someone about it or posting it somewhere

[fatmouth007]

@dipswad1 Yeah i know. I was wrong.

[ProjectRealityBf2]

you guys should have run METRO 2033!!!!

[allstars190]

LOL NICE FREAKY LAGGING at CRYSIS FOR A 1500€ card

[radicalphantom1]

@allstars190 genius....called benchmarking! the programs drop FPS

[radicalphantom1]

@allstars190 really must be easy to come off as a douche bag with no basic grammar skills on youtube? you kiss your mother with that mouth or just your own vagina?

[radicalphantom1]

@radicalphantom1 and yes mars sucks

[allstars190]

ASUS Mars crads are crap for SLI you f u c k e r

[Eaglefly0]

Microlagging at his best -.-

[UNDEAD10000]

Why use someting shitty benchmark like Unigine Heaven DirectX 11 why just use Futuremarks 3DMark11 benchmark it's lot better then Unigine benchmark.

[DeadlyVenom543]

so... why is there a coke video at the right side?

[blibbax]

Why not 3GB per GPU?

[laruspener]

wow the mouse on this cards is fucking laggin when this guy is changing the seettings in graphic console program. Asus you suck.

[ekayforlife]

dude. zoom out -.-



[Nvidia9700MGT]

the interest to have a stretched game ? 

[baradspogi]

MARSII graphics card with dual NVIDIA GTX590 GPUs. ?? isnt it dual 580's? ??

[War000Lock]

@baradspogi Yup

[guitarherofreak161]

@baradspogi one of them is indeed 2 gtx 580 on a single card but it is to expensive i recommnd just buy 2 seperatly and set them in sli

[samrg123]

@baradspogi yeah it is



[Xardas955]

can i play Minecraft on it?

[Mayers123456]

Why did you test Nvidia card on Shogun? ;P Be sure! Ati is better there my dear.

[club4ghz]

glitchy framerate on crysis 2 need overclock :P

[Marci124]

OR just get outside more...



[RidinAhHa92]

I 110% sure that those Mars II didn't run at their maximum performance and yet there isn't any CPU which is capable not to get bottlenecked by this VGA.(Except for Xeon CPUs which are designed for workstations)

[MdubHazPr0SKillz]

Dear Santa...

[tyroxis]

Electric consumption= eiffel tower

[cusinndzl]

Meanwhile about a year later this setup is obsolete.

[dubiren]

@cusinndzl give it six months.... this is a joke, why would anyone want to spend 1.5k on a card which will be outperformed by a 150 dollar card in 6 months?

[ulkord]

@dubiren thats unrealistic. but in like 1 year maybe for 500 dollars

[Coolman1234556789]

but can it play tetris?

[trfinck]

Anyone else notice he didn't set Anti Aliasing on Crysis 2?

[PlushifiedNaruto]

@trfinck yes i did though i wonder if he has a higher AA level forced through the nvidia settings.

[trfinck]

@PlushifiedNaruto yeah I thought of that later on as well

[Midstr8]

@trfinck it is , its on the highest possible setting 4:15

[nelizmastr]

@trfinck you dont need anti aliasing on a resolution of 1920x1080, since aliasing doesnt occur, or at least not noticable.

[Alcatrazzzable]

@trfinck you dont need AA o that resolution...the AA is used for resolution like 1280x1024 or 1440x900 or 1366x760 to make it look exactly (more or less)like a 1920x1080 and up resolution monitor...sry for my bad english

[samrg123]

@trfinck when you play at that high of a resolution you dont need anti aliasing

but yeah i would like to see how the card would preform with aa on

[deathcoptras]

@trfinck Dumbfuck next time u wanna comment , get ur brain to work first. Anti Aliasing makes no difference at such resolutions

[trfinck]

@deathcoptras >get my brain to work first,

you could use some grammar lessons tbh. And yes, actually, it can making a fucking difference. NVIDIA: "OH hurr durr, ten-aytee-pee just came out, better block AA for dem"

ATI:" oh nozz , bibi MLAA, only spent hundreds of dollurz werkin on it."

AA is for preference. The reason I posted it was because I myself play at 1080p, and I DO need AA. Also, this is showcasing it's power, why not crank it?

[Chewyone007]

@trfinck he used Edge AA which is just as effective...

[trfinck]

@Chewyone007 Actually it isn't just as effective. FXAA and MLAA are leagues better than Edge. codinghorror. com/ blog/2011/12/ fast-approximate-anti-aliasing­-fxaa.html

[dieselrock11]

@trfinck he didn't set anti aliasing in anything wtf

[PoisonJuke1]

@trfinck Dude... he didn't set AA in all games.

[iJames93i]

@PoisonJuke1 You don't need AA at that huge resolution.

[PoisonJuke1]

@iJames93i I just say that because trfinck (top comm) say if anyone bla bla on crysis and i say he doesn't use on any games).

[aTTAkz]

@trfinck Why would you want to set it at that resolution oO ?

[cLick1333]

@trfinck Someone must have already told you this , but he used Edge Detection AA.

[viddicake]

May I have that setup?

I'll do the dishes!

[iPansophitus]

At 1080p with one monitor, my 6870 run pretty much anything at max settings with ease. This extra power would be great for graphics mods like ENB series though.

[logixx87]

running Mars graph card will prolly cost you around 300 bucks a year just for power consumption, and with 2xmars in sli overclocked thats a nightmare ! :S

[nfsm654]

@logixx87 300 bucks extra per quarter you mean...

[MickehDaHuskeh]

ENOUGH TALK

GIMME! NOW!

[rmaucigasha]

why use 3 monitors for gaming ? I don't have 6 eyes to focus on all of them

[jvdthwip]

@rmaucigasha hopefully you have peripheral vision

[rmaucigasha]

@jvdthwip still, I find it worthless to invest in 3+ monitors and high-end graphics just for this purpose. I'm doing fine with my gtx 460 768MB @ 1080p @ high/max settings in most games with a single monitor.

[TheStarkify]

I'm curious. Rampage III BE comes with dedicated sound card. Does it fit on the board with 2 x MarsII?

[Rakinroww]

lol cpu bottleneck.

[Collective11011]

I would need four lifetimes to buy this card

[spidert622]

I'm buying two of these so I can play minecraft on far!

[MaxBabkin]

@spidert622 No you can`t=)

[hydroo91]

were gonna go ahead favorite sentence

[blueflame1258]

Holy. Shit.

[poort1710]

i am more curious to a 1 screen review honestly.

[Ludozify]

@poort1710 I agree 100%

[Bmxasdfghjkl]

@poort1710 y would u run quad sli 580 and only have 1 moniter

[UNIXSOLJA]

@Bmxasdfghjkl I agree

[poort1710]

@Bmxasdfghjkl uhhh extreme fps maybe ??

[Bmxasdfghjkl]

@poort1710 as long as u get at least 40 it will be smooth you have to be eagle eyed to tell the difference between 40 fps and 60 and as long as u get atleast 60 it doesnt matter the eye cant tell the difference between 60 fps and 400 i get over 1000 fps on cod2 (i still play it) and when i limit the fps to 60 it looks exactly the same

[MLuffyGear2]

@poort1710 yer why bother with 3 screen bench when you can't even get 100fps average?

also ultra thick asus bezel = terrible for multimonitor setup

[Death3D]

i wonder whr can i get tat awesome wallpaper

[TheTCStudios]

You'd think that in the midst of all this clever graphic technology someone would come up with a monitor with a ridiculous resolution like this. Or at least a way to remove the stupid bezels. -.-

[RoxasOdale]

this is madness!

[1470cool]

Imma get two of these so i can play Tetris.

[Whambow]

Man I wish I could win the lottery right now..

[Brygelsmack]

MADNESS.

[nousername21]

Do a BF3 benchmark!

[1BYEBYE1]

@nousername21 someone else already did, and it could barely get 30 FPS

[coolban241]

Crysis 2?

[PSCreativeGaming]

@ClassicTubeTV youv nevr seen 10080p porn have you?

[SpadeAce90]

feh, in the next 3 years, a $300 card will beat those suckers

[thereddog223]

5 years 200 but no one cares

[ClassicTubeTV]

Will this make my porn better O_o?

[R3AP3R664]

dual GTX 580... get it right

[ThePCgamer1989]

do you think it could play solitair???

[RebeloZtube]

wHY didnt you put AA to 4x on crysis

[jasonpwns]

@SPirnik Depends. Two of these are a smarter choice in certain aspects. More than one is not needed really.

[thestileto]

But can it play pong?

[prohacker883]

yeay !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i got one

[deimonhuntr1]

this guy says "gone ahead and" far too much

[webDes33]

anything above $1200 is a waste of money just to play console ports.. imo.

[thereddog223]

Then your not a real gamer

[flickers2345]

are those dual mars ii need ROG Xpander to run those card?

[flickers2345]

those thing need ROG Xpander or not if run with 2 of them?

[13heavymetal]

How does it run Minesweeper?

[pnoozi]

Does Crysis 2 even support SLI?

[lucas34511]

@pnoozi Yes it does

[emucosmos]

wow, maybe I'll be able to finally play commander keen with this card

[pivotdeadking]

can i chop one in half for a 50% discount?

[postekija]

but will it blend?

[ajohnstitch]

@postekija not funny anymore!

[slashforlife101010]

@postekija Nooooooo!!!!!!?????!!!!!!!!!

[postekija]

@slashforlife101010 it blends xd

[18iser]

@postekija No, No it well never blend.

[jasontvnd]

Theres nothing wrong with the BF3 Optimization its just that 1.5Gb of V Ram( Effective V-Ram of Mars2) Cant handle HIgh AA at 2560x1600 you need 3Gb cards for it , However turn the AA down a bit to where the Ram Aint limited and your looking at 100+ Fps.

[dante470]

How much FPS you could get with one of this cards on Minecraft?

[Atobo]

But for the price of 2 MARS 2 Cards, you get about 15 560TI's

[TheIHeadphones]

Everyone here is saying GTX 580 bad Asus bad..

but no one is blaming nvidia for shit drivers

[mtothem1337]

why aren't you using antialiasing? that's a big part of getting crisp gameplay.

[oYSpongebobYo]

and still they cant handle battlefield 3 at 2560x1600

[mtothem1337]

@oYSpongebobYo battlefield 3 is badly optimized for the pc, maybe they will patch it in the future.

[sniperlif3]

@oYSpongebobYo Yeah Battlefield 3 isnt built for pc gameplay. It was designed for use on systems. So just wait and hopefully it will be upgraded to play smoother.

[sniperlif3]

@jasontvnd Yeah. So i just realized you removed the comment. As of now battlefield is still being optimized for pc as they have been telling us since it came out. It was not made for pc first. They made it for Xbox 360 first then changed the coding to work the ps3 then for the pc. I know i was part of the alpha testing for all 3 systems. But nice try

[blink180heights]

GTX 560 Ti : shogun 2 Ultra settings dx11 benchmark = 40 FPS $250

GTX 580x2 MARS : shogun 2 Ultra settings dx11 benchmark = 66 FPS $1500

do the math guys, all these games are gonna lag and drop in frame rates so who really cares if you have a beastly GPU...

[Tijmen93]

@blink180heights but that's not with three monitors ;)

[Tijmen93]

and there is NO WAY that a 560 Ti can run it at the same setting at 40 fps if a single mars II card doesn't even hit that number...

[blink180heights]

@Tijmen93 u want proof? i have my bench log from shogun 2

[Edge0fPain]

@blink180heights

I doubt your GTX 560 Ti is doing 3 monitors.

[sniperlif3]

@blink180heights From every video i have seen the 560 TI is only doing 30-40 frames on only a 1920x1080 resolution. The MARS 2 is doing 66 on 3 1920x1080 monitors. That means that the MARS 2 is more than 3 times better if it can compute 3 times more screen graphics and still get higher fps. But nice try

[alfyan99]

Thumbs up if you thought there were 4 mars 2 cards

[crazy88boss]

Imma get two of these so I can play Doom 3D in full screen.

[DStanizzi]

@crazy88boss Im getting them for Minecraft on its Highest Settings

[crazy88boss]

@DStanizzi You're mad! MAD I SAY.

[Alexanderzzzzon]

"Anti-Aliasin: 0"

You cheat! ;)

[crazy88boss]

@Alexanderzzzzon Anti-aliasing is only theoretical. What's next? 300w power supplies? Pfft. Get real.

[Alexanderzzzzon]

@crazy88boss huh?

"What'chu talkin' 'bout Willis?"

[crazy88boss]

@Alexanderzzzzon Trolllz

[Alexanderzzzzon]

@crazy88boss What are you even talking bout?

If hes going to brag about his high-end eq why wont he turn on AA ?

[crazy88boss]

@Alexanderzzzzon You don't understand hyperbole and I don't feel like explaining it to you.

[Alexanderzzzzon]

@crazy88boss Dude. I know what the meaning of hyperbole is.

What I was trying to say is; what you mean that AA in only theoretical?

[crazy88boss]

@Alexanderzzzzon Your comment about AA:0 and cheating appeared in my inbox, so I assumed you were responding to my comment about Doom 3D, which obviously did not have AA. AA would have been a very advanced and unfathomable feature to gamers at the time and require way more power than any computer had back then. Think of my response in that context and it'll make sense.

[Alexanderzzzzon]

@crazy88boss HAHA XD Okeeey, then I understand your response waaay better xD

[freedombluster]

Tessellation is on normal @ Heaven Ungine.

What would be the FRAPS when Tessellation is on Extreme?

[MrJameoh]

@bumblefoot2004 To run MARS 2 in quad SLI you need the ROG Rampage 3 Black Edition

[myosat]

so if i buy those cards can I watch youtube videos in 1080p without lags?

[Lazar21051987]

OMG! What is the name mouse cursor?

[huymitsumi]

@bumblefoot2004 yeah but description say dual 590 lol

[madurpo]

If I win in a lottery.. I will buy 2 of them!

[huymitsumi]

doesnt the mars 2 have dual gtx 580 not 590

[MrCatpoop123]

this will put hair on your chest

[Jere369]

Not a single one of those frames counts. 0x Anti-Aliasing ..

[G1K777]

pfff make a Game Play not only FPS ... That sucks

[vanzan102]

imagnine what kind of psu u need for this card!

[DungeoneeringGuides]

@vanzan102 DOES IT EXIST?

[trankhanhvinhan]

they have 1 more mars 2 at the right of the screen there....

[afsheen07]

I would rather have a girlfriend

[madimakhi1]

can it run minecraft?

[sqion]

@madimakhi1 YES IT FUCKING CAN RUN FUCKIN MINECRAFT...THIS IS SO DUMB...TOTALLY NOT FUNNY O-o

[conradasman]

The Price tag says $1500 each. I live in south africa. Its rated at R16 000 ($2015). AND 2 OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!

[conradasman]

@jacekantoine Even that. You'd Need like 4 of those to keep it out! :0

[Amuffin456]

@conradasman No, any modern day sandy bridge cpu and first gen i7's don't bottleneck this.
