    What a pointless card imo, no way near worth the money.

    Would have been nice to see 2 GTX295s in SLI for comparison

    And a pair of crossfire 4870X2s.

    Ultimately disappointing, but I'm not surprised. They might have got SLI right on the dual GPU scenario now, but it really doesn't extend in quite the same way with the third and fourth.

    Why is there no 4870 X2 in crossfire as well? Or even 4 4890s in Quad crossfire? Not a very good comparison imho

    Re: Reviews - HEXUS - World Exclusive! ASUS ROG MARS GeForce 4,096MB card. SLI number

    I think for this one time Crysis/Warhead should of been in there.

    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Re: Reviews - HEXUS - World Exclusive! ASUS ROG MARS GeForce 4,096MB card. SLI number

    To all those saying this card is useless, the purpose of this card is to break overclocking world records, not to play games. To push the boundaries of the chip and the architecture, to find the breaking point. Not for everyday use.

    Isn't it boring waiting for DX11 to sweep us of our proverbials!!! What's the point in filling the void with single card revamps at double the price of a readily available SLI solution!!!

    pooor pooor pooor review.
    no CF 4870 x2, no SLI GTX295 (and PS the GTX295 is downclocked GTX275s in SLI, though the 275s came out after)

    wheres tri gtx 285s?

    no crysis. this is where crysis is NEEDED

    pathetic IMO.

    Re: Reviews - HEXUS - World Exclusive! ASUS ROG MARS GeForce 4,096MB card. SLI number

    They couldnt complete all desired tests as they had passed out due to a massive e-peen erection - this is a known side-effect of being in the same room as an ASUS ROG MARS graphics card.

    Re: Reviews - HEXUS - World Exclusive! ASUS ROG MARS GeForce 4,096MB card. SLI number

    Disastrously disappointing. The most powerful card in the world, let's test it playing COD4...
    Crysis, Cryostasis, Stalker Clear Sky, GTA4, to name a few, all missing, as are any relevant competitors.
    Let's hope another benchmark site got hold of one and did the job properly.
