ASUS Design a Monster Graphics Card "MARS II"


Nvidia is not sure when it will make a dual GPU graphics card based Fermi, but does not prohibit its partners, to create your own dual-GPU graphics cards Fermi. Partner, who already seems to have the design itself is ASUS. Can be sure the graphics card price will be very expensive with very large electric consumption.
 
ASUS is reportedly in the project making dual GPU graphics card, called MARS II. This graphics card is believed to be combining two of the fastest graphics card, the GeForce GTX 480. This graphics card is designed by combining two pieces GTX 480 chip in a single PCB. This monster will have a 2x388-bit memory interface, not less than 960-core CUDA, and 3GB of GDDR5 VRAM.
 
Basically, this monster has a high ability to sweep away all the DirectX 11 graphics card that already exists. With high ability is certainly not surprising that the MARS II requires a very large power, with high temperatures.
 
MARS II not only has one or two power connectors, but the three 8-pin power connector as well. More stunning again, ASUS ensure that MARS MARS II can be combined with other II, enabling the combination of Quad SLI. For cooling affairs, until now not known how large and how their shape. As usual, the available display connector still supports DVI, HDMI and Display Port.
 
Now we just wait it out, when this monster graphics cards will be available in the market. Given the very high capacity and price ASUS previous MARS, MARS II is estimated to cost above U.S. $ 1,000.
