ASUS MARS II gets reviewed, deemed the fastest single graphics card available to buy

Well, that insane ASUS MARS II card we got to feast our eyes on back in June has finally started rolling off the assembly line. Which means it is time for the hardware fanatics and gaming freaks to begin putting them through their paces. HotHardware said the twin GTX 580-packing card was “with ease the fastest single graphics card we now have ever tested, bar none.” And everybody else appeared to agree. Now, obviously there are drawbacks — the 3GB card is an absolute power hog (requiring 600-watts all on its own) and insanely pricey at $1,499. That you must even buy three separate GTX 580 cards for slightly less, use a similar variety of slots and recover performance, however the MARS II has another thing going for it — status. Only 999 of those beasts may be made. After they’re all snatched up you will have to head to eBay, and pay a hefty premium over it’s already absurd price. But, in the event you absolutely should have the correct performance you may out of a single card solution, it is the clear choice. If you would like more detail about just how badly this spanks the contest inspect the reviews below.
