its the Asus ''MARS'' a limited addition SLI GTX285 with a massive 4GB VRAM ...''in a PCB sandwich'' :D

ASUS Designs Own Monster Dual-GTX 285 4 GB Graphics Card

ASUS has just designed a new monster graphics card that breaks the mold for reference design GeForce GTX 295, called the ASUS MARS 295 Limited Edition. The card, although retains the name "GeForce GTX 295", same device ID, and is compatible with existing NVIDIA drivers, has two huge innovations put in by ASUS, which go far beyond being yet another overclocked GeForce GTX 295: the company used two G200-350-B3 graphics processors, the same ones that make the GeForce GTX 285. The GPUs have all the 240 shader processors enabled, and also have the complete 512-bit GDDR3 memory interface enabled. This dual-PCB monstrosity holds 32 memory chips, and 4 GB of total memory (each GPU accesses 2 GB of it). Apart from these, each GPU system uses the same exact clock speeds as the GeForce GTX 285: 648/1476/2400 MHz (core/shader/memory).

It's a pity that this card will be produced in limited range... only 1000 pieces... gosh, I'd love to have one of these in my system

This card is a Bugatti Veyron among graphic cards But only for a short while (afterall GT300 chips are almost finished)

If I got hold of one of these, I'd probably mount it instead.

But you know the driver support will be shocking , games will crash , your pc will overheat and it'll bluescreen all the time , NVidia will give up on it after a few months and you'll be left with a lump of useless expensive hardware that never worked properly since day one

ASUS are saying that driver support will be the same as a current 295 driver, which I can understand. All this card is really is a 295 with the GTX260 cores taken off and the 285 cores slapped on it.

You could warm your house in winter with that, along with melting any snow on your roof.
