Asus (Monster) Mars - first full review on the planet

[OBR]

So when testing at 16x AF and 8x AA is it slower because it throttles itself due to heat or are the drivers bad?

You have to make GREAT AIRFLOW in case with many fans, after that my card was under 100C and no throttling .... but in open case still throttling ... lokk at my results, the are good numbers at 8AA

I meant in comparison to the 4870x2. The Mars beats it hands down right until 4xAA then suddenly at 8xAA it has this performance hit. Why is that?

Radeon has in some games better 8AA performance, it is known situation. With new GeForce drivers is 8AA perf many better, but in some titules are Radeons still better.

Not useless, it is for collectors or crazy enthusiast ... for LN2/DiCE cooling and WR in Quad SLI ...

Totally dumb product for the price.
