    Looks interesting. Don't these dual-gpu cards usually sell at a premium to a pair of the individual cards?

    Judging by the other asus dual GPU cards like the Mars and Ares ii, that thing will cost a fortune! Surely you'd be mad to pick that over the likes of a 780 ti/ 290x?

    Well with no info on pricing, I don't know. But if they sell it for 780Ti sort of money and it's blapping Titans in the tests, it seems like a serious contender if you're in that sort of market.

    2GB VRAM on a dual GPU card is a waste of time. You're goin to be VRAM limited without a doubt. (If you're gaming at 1080p with this card you're wasting time in the first place).

    Yeah true, if you buy one of these though you are stuck with it, whereas if you bought a single GPU card, then you have lots more expandability available

    Complete waste of time of a card. Make one with 2 x 780Ti's .

    That card will be hugely expensive all Mars cards are and probably out performed by a 780Ti
