8 GB of graphics RAM enough for you?
Have the need for speed? Check out the Asus Mars GTX 295, which its maker claims to be the fastest video card on the planet at the current moment. It set the world record in 3DMark with a score of X25057 just before Computex, and now it’s basking in all its glory at the show.
Asus had these running Far Cry 2 at the show at a mind (and monitor) blowing resolution of 3840 x 2160. Put two of them together for a quad-SLI setup with 8 GB of graphics memory.
We haven’t gotten one in our labs yet, but we hope to soon. Until then, check out our GTX 295 vs. GTX 275 comparison.

I would love to see what 2160p look like though...

Doubt it. Nvidia and ATI don't usually release dual GPU cards at launch. GTX 380 or what not need to be twice as fast as GTX 285 to beat this card.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't one 8800 easily beat two 7900 cards in SLI? I know its not exactly the same as a dual GPU board, but the principal is the same.
you aren't completely right, but you aren't wrong either.
2160p is the resolution in progressive scan. QFHD gives the same information that 2160p does.
It's like saying FULL HD or just 1080p. they're both the samething
Thats a dumb question.... if it can play Farcry2 at that rez I'm sure it can play Crysis.
But whatever. If you have the money to buy now and later, i guess you can afford this beast. I kind of think the timing of this gpu is a little late though...
I believe 7950 GX2 easily beats any 8000 series cards until the G92 core 8000/9000 cards.
Have a sense of humor, any card can run Crysis if you run it at 320*240.
