Matrix is so ugly
20% cooler performance than reference? whats next? CAPS LOCK Edition?
Now I dont care if it looks bad as long as its a beast while frozen :D
face palm. 1.5gb memory.
Yeah? no.Quote:
1.5GB per gpu
We've already been over this one. 1.5gb is not enough for a pair of 580's if you really want to push it. Modern games eat though video memory. At least amd got it right.
I'm surprised the single gpu model is also the same.
I have to admit this is getting strange.. I remember having 2gig on my 285GTXs a long time ago.. It's a genuine concern for me and others running 2560x1600 resolutions. Thankfully I don't play any games requiring more than 1.5gig at the moment but who knows what the future holds. Would of thought atleast 2gig per single gpu would of been the standard for high end nvidia cards by now tbh!Quote:

It's nvidia's homework to improve his memory controller and allow high-speed GDDR5(+die size bonus of using 256bit).
I think most people buying this are going for OC, in which case the extra memory doesn't help and in some cases may hurt. I don't think it's a big deal.Quote:

Even tough only 1.5Gb of memory, this still beats hell out of reference GTX590, its pwm isnt junk like GTX590's pwm.
Great for overclocking, not so great for triple-screen gaming due low memory amount.
Tripe-Screen 5760x1080 or Single Screen 2560x1600 Gaming, my 3 GW GTX580 3Gb graphics cards are alot of better due i have 1.5Gb per card more memory.
where to DL the gpu tweak soft :D ?
Congrats, you don't count, you are so far in the minority. And this is made for OC, nothing else.Quote:

ASUS MATRIX GTX 580
http://www.xfastest.com/cms/tid-61294/
ASUS really should have slapped in 3GB of VRAM, like others said. I don't understand, they like to make their own high end overclocked cards targeted for high end users, why not increase the VRAM? 1.5GB just isn't cutting it anymore, even at 1920x1080 with highest settings games use up over 1.2GB.
thats's huge.
Not interested as long as it's only 1.5GB per GPU.
Rather silly to talk about minority considering the product in question. 580's are a minority. Special editions? :rofl:Quote:

When i aggree with you, i believe it just cause the GDDR5 ask for a lot of power, i believe they have try restrain it a bit ... 6gb of GDDR5 will increase a lot the amount of power needed... on a single core cards it's ok, but on the dual 580 ... the more they can cut, the best it is ..Quote:

Any predictions on what the MARS clockspeeds will be like? Will we see as high as 7xx MHz?

Awesome, but graphics cards are reaching stupid sizes. Whats next, 4 slots with PCB like a mATX board? :shakes:
ouch
What about frequencies? Do we happen to know anything?
I bet 8xx gpu ;)
wow, this is simply whau! :)
does anyone know if the asus mars II 1.5GB or 3GB per GPU???
Doesn't appear so. Check the image on the first post on the first page of this thread.Quote:

holy mother! look at that thing
holy crap. That pcb must be over 1 sq. ft.
nice...i want one for free :D
Is it just me or does it look like a Borg Cube? "Resistance is futile!"
Looks more like a dual socket motherboard to me.
I'd trade 3 GTX580s for it.
Lol see it naked and now everyone wants it =)
Wow - Mars II looks insane but matrix does 1400 on the mem...stummerwinter showing some skills again :D
Attachment 118610
What a beast. Now when and where can I get one.
The card itself looks nice but ASUS still using 1.5GB per core is just a damn waste for this card, if they were planning to charge more than 1K for this card, may as well use 3GB per core instead.
Holy carp! Now that's insane! :eek:Quote:

1.5GB vram per GPU makes it useless for quad SLI.
LOL - this is not a review, this a garbage, at least some descent shot, nothing more, kthxbyeQuote:

ASUS MARS II Review
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/Mars_II/
According to the article it only supports two monitors at a time. I get this is a benching card, but ti would be nice to be able to use it for Nvidia Surround when you are not benching.
Impressive cards. Matrix 580 holds much more interest for me. The MARS II seems.. Weak. MARS I was awesome, but this one looks weak to me. Not only does it have less VRAM, it's ugly. I know that doesn't really matter all that much, but when you're paying that much for a card it should at least look sweet.

So according to Tweaktown the GTX580 MARSII does support more than two monitors for Nvidia Surround, anyone know which is correct? Techpower or Tweaktown?
So far 6 X $2500 for review samples:D...Quote:

I actually like it quite a lot.
I don't think it's ugly.
I think the red and black is sexy, it would match my ROG motherboard :D

I wish ASUS or some other company would come out with a high end card (exceeding the typical AMD/NVidia reference cards) that conformed to the PCI-E size spec...these cards extend a huge amount above the normal top of the slot. Considering the power consumption of these cards, perhaps having a model that has it's power supplied externally would be a thought.
XTREMELY overpriced card... :|
with 1500$ you can buy 3 gtx580's and have much better numbers than with one of these beasts...
But hey, i bow my head to the engineers who created such a masterpice
A pity it won't fit or run in my SilverStone SG07 hahaha.
That would be something alright.
As expected, they didn't dare turn on 8AA in Shogun 2, and legged it from Metro 2033.
ASUS MARS II is $1,499.99 @newegg

Lol and they charge $10 shipping. That is funny to me.Quote:
