Are you in the UK? Do you have £1000 to burn? Look no further! - Hardware & Software

Remember [b]Asus's hardcore GTX 295 MARS[/b], the pumped-up version of the already overpumped 295? [img]http://overclockers.co.uk/pimg/GX-203-AS_400.jpg[/img][img]http://overclockers.co.uk/pimg/GX-203-AS_22688_400.jpg[/img][img]http://overclockers.co.uk/pimg/GX-203-AS_22687_400.jpg[/img] Well, [url=http://overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-203-AS]you can now buy one. Only [b]£999.99[/b].[/url] Even better? It's number [b]999 out of 999[/b]. Yes, that's right, you'd be getting the last one ever made. The only downside is that you're [b]basically wasting your money with the 5970[/b], but if your name ends with vidia that doesn't matter, does it? No. If you buy this, you will have instant e-peen and everyone will want to kiss you. Seriously. Also some baliffs will come around to seize everything in your house but that's just a sideeffect

[QUOTE=leach139;18875673]If you buy this, you will have instant e-peen and everyone will want to kiss you. Seriously. [/QUOTE] Only for like a month until the next super-hyper-mega card is released with the new 64 core CPU, then you will just be an average joe again. But seriously, two 8 pin power connectors, ~95C full load, jesus christ. One wonders what kind of ridiculous power usage these cards draw. a single GTX 285 draws 183W, so it'd be like 732W for dual SLI'd cards at full load. Here's a review: [url]http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews.php?reviewid=832[/url]

thx op but ill just get a 5970 and enjoy my lower temps and a card that is much faster, while being less than that. :downs:

I would probably need a new case, if I were to buy this

[QUOTE=cdlink14;18878185]This dude lives up to his name.[/QUOTE] Limited production and unsupported build types of cards are like shooting yourself in the foot. If I remember correctly, ASUS made a card like this years ago which was a dual GPU card done in an unsupported way (might have been a dual 6800GT) and as such was only useful with a special build of driver made by ASUS themselves. So not only do you pay a fat wad of cash, it's a gamble if Nvidia will support the card in the official drivers for any length of time or at all.

I remember seeing a card for £13,000 once, it had some stupid amount of graphical RAM. :v:

[QUOTE=Rosek;18878404]I remember seeing a card for £13,000 once, it had some stupid amount of graphical RAM. :v:[/QUOTE] Quantum 3D had a 3dfx VSA-100 based rendering farm with like 128 GPUs and like 32GB of memory, it was pretty expensive while they still sold it. I think it was all in a single cabinet, which wasn't surprising for them because they had all sorts of crazy 3dfx card setups.

I don't even like the look of that card, It looks fuck ugly Imo.

[QUOTE=zodfsx]What a card! I have sold my car for 2 of these babies! I get avg 30 fps in Crysis 2500x1600 4aa worth every single penny![/QUOTE] Ahaha.

I would buy this if it wasn't in the UK only.

I thought it was sold out a long time ago

Whats the point in paying that much for a Graphics card when it will be outdated in a year?

[QUOTE=gerbils_alt_2;18880811]Whats the point in paying that much for a Graphics card when it will be outdated in a year?[/QUOTE] In a year it would still more than EAT any game requirements.

[QUOTE=gerbils_alt_2;18880811]Whats the point in paying that much for a Graphics card when it will be outdated in 3 months (+/-2)?[/QUOTE] Fix'r'up'r.

Looks like a video tape... 1000 is way to much for a card no matter how good it is.

The reviews for it are terrible, in some games a single 285 is better than two of these together.

omg just read one of the reviews "What a card! I have sold my car for 2 of these babies! I get avg 30 fps in Crysis 2500x1600 4aa worth every single penny!" Oh dear!

[QUOTE=cdlink14;18878185]This dude lives up to his name.[/QUOTE] not really, i made this to shit post. etiher way, if i had that much.. I'd get a fucking core i9 [url]http://cgi.ebay.com/Intel-6-Core-Xeon-Westmere-Gulftown-2-4GHZ-LGA1366-ES_W0QQitemZ280437005597QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCPUs?hash=item414b591d1d[/url]

omg, why do they even bother making this?

[QUOTE=shipkiller;18896360]omg, why do they even bother making this?[/QUOTE] because at the time the 295 was still the most powerful card out? because they wanted the title of having the single most powerful card possible at the time? because some people have more money than sense?

Lol theese in quad sli xD

I first thought it was a VCR cassette.

Looks like a VHS tape.

Crysis Warhead, 2560x1600 all enthusiast with two of these gives an average framerate of 41 FPS. Dayum.

Reminds of the Tezro V12 graphics module but the enclosure is painted and not bare metal. EDIT: A Tezro V12 does not cost much less it seems according to ebay. :v:

So what are the specs of each core?

Who has £1000 to burn in this economy?

[QUOTE=Shoupie;18901803]Who has £1000 to burn in this economy?[/QUOTE] Obviously not you, I could afford one but not a good investment. Also I would be broke.
