after seeing 5870 nothing from old school can excite me now
Only one thing to say...
OMG! Price?
Born to fail, like GTX 285 Matrix
Wha no PhysX card. hehe
The Matrix will fail? :eek:Quote:

Asus mars does have its looks going for it... 5870 on the other hand is just another black beauty :D
talk about a waste of time and money on evga's part. :shrug:
I'd kill for this setup. Too expensive for me. :(
3x 6-pin PCI-E plugs? The clocks better be through the roof and cruising at 37,000ft to justify that....
Great card(s) ... if you live somewhere near the North Pole...

226-300w per card? for a single GPU it better be getting 4870 X2 level results
If you can afford that board with 4x 285s i think it should be possible to get some proper cooling for those cards;)Quote:

After much discussion of how to mimic the surface temperature of the sun, this is the result.
might as well be the eVGA 285 ftw snickers edition to compete with the asus mars
Wildly off-topic but I think its pretty cool that the UK and the US have the same chocolate bar names... and the same fillings... but all mixed up
yeah but the only one's I've seen are from Silverstone and Xigmatek.Quote:

why does it need that much juice?
however, after i've read the rumor about bad gt300 yields these ULTRA PIMP OMFG editions actually make sense. i mean there were oc'ed cards in the past as well, but with asus mars and now these cards i just can't get rid of the thought they do this to fill a gap until gt300 gets released (which might be bigger than we think, if these rumors about bad yields really hold water...).
give us the 5870 and gtx380 damnit! :D
Olds new is old.
Just use a Ultra X3 1600 with 6 adapters to double up the 6 pin plugs. It's a single rail PSU that can easily focus the energy requirements of this setup. However I think this setup is a little too late now that the 5870 specs and benches have come out. Does not leave much excitement for these 'older' cards anymore. Think I would rather 2 5870 with waterblocks. :up:Quote:

Seriously though, wtf is the point apart from getting massive (if) FM scores? You cant even drop in a RAID card. I'd chose 'just' 2 of those with an OCZ P-Drive over this anyday tbh. They better fitted it with 2GB GDDR cause from the few single games that make use of 2GB of GDDR, it's pretty stupid to have 4 350Euro+ cards and getting beaten by 2 GTX275 cards with 1.792GB:ROTF:
And no, I didnt bother checking if it even has 2 or 1GB of GDDR because :effort:, my interest is nowhere to be found. As said it's nice and it sounds fun, but this 'feature' has a better purpose on say a GTX260/GTX275, better affordable and over the top performance over all (apart from this that is).
+1 +1 +1 +1 +1 :DQuote:

I guess this means that GT300 is right around the corner. :rolleyes:
EDF called, they feel it's in your best interest to buy a power-station for your pc.
saphire Pure :rolleyes:Quote:

Yeah if you believe Charlie, LOL, That guy is the biggest TOOL. Why anyone even visits his website surprises me.Quote:

yawn - this is so July - old news to some ;) though the design is freaking kick ass!... one of the three power connectors is for memory :D
The card is dead sexy. BTW, this was out before the new ATI, which looks really similar in design.
This is no good. The PG&E will cut my power line if I buy this.

hmmmm definately way too late to release these... im affraid it wont sell well and as a result evga might stick to ref designs in future, that would be a shame cause if it wont sell well itll definately be because of the timing...
i dont think the 3 power plugs are necessary, just like on the classified board you only need the additional one for ln2 and high volts...
this card seems to be made for ln2, but then why is it sold with a heatsink? and a not very good one at that... i dont know how well itll cool, but the external design is terrible, those cards are literally choking each other to death...
