Asus Debuts ROG MARS 760 Dual-GPU Graphics Card
Asus has announced a dual-GPU GTX 760 that will be known as the ROG MARS 760.
Asus has announced another off-planet graphics card, this one coming from Mars. The ROG MARS 760 Dual-GPU graphics card which, as the name indicates, has fused two GTX 760 graphics cards onto a single PCB.
As such, the card features a total of 4 GB of GDDR5 memory and a dual 256-bit memory interface. The card also features a 12-phase VRM design, which, according to Asus, makes the card produce 30 percent less power noise, increases efficiency by 15 percent, and extends the card's durability.
Cooling is achieved by a DirectCU II cooler that has been modified to cool both the GPUs.
Of course, what is the release of such a card without any performance numbers? Asus has informed us that the card can outperform the GTX Titan, running Crysis 3 percent to 14 percent faster, Tomb Raider 39 percent faster, and Bioshock Infinite 6 percent faster.
There was no word on pricing, but given what we know of Asus ROG graphics card pricing, don't expect it to come cheap. It'll hit shelves around the end of November.

-Fran- So they just lunched, 2 years late (give or take), a GTX670x2. And even more, with just 2GB per GPU?Reply
Asus, I really like your products, but come on... If you price it in GTX780 territory this will earn a recommended, but otherwise, forget it. Don't waste your time on this product.
Cheers! -
mapesdhs If this card has 2GB per GPU, then please don't describe it by saying it hasReply
a total of 4GB because that's very misleading. The total visible to the user
& system is still just 2GB, thus it's a 2GB card. Marketing madness is bad
enough these days; don't make it worse by adding to the manufacturer spin.

1zacster I would only ever buy this if it had 4GB PER GPU, not total. already got a single 760 4gb, whatever.Reply -
spentshells I like it a la gtx 460x2 outperform the top of the line signle card by a fair amount yet come in cheaper.Reply
But considering that 760's can be found as low as 220 this better be a good deal but we will likely see it at 500. -
scook9 People need to stop calling a GTX 760 the same as a 670....the 760 Ti will be comparable to a 670 but the 760 is less shaders.Reply -
Jim90 The maximum renderable for each frame is 2GB, so although we have 2 x 2GB cards in SLI, each game frame is limited to 2GB. Just like my GTX 690. Damn! Still, if the price is right....Reply
