Asus shows off "world's fastest" GPU at Computex
Specifically the card’s core clock runs at 648MHz, increased from 576MHz on a reference card, and its stream processors at 1,476MHz; up from 1,242MHz. Asus’ design features 4GB of 512-bit GDDR3 memory which also runs considerably faster at 2,400MHz. To show what the card is capable of, the company doubled a pair up in a test system and was able to run Far Cry 2 smoothly at a staggering 3,840 x 2,160 resolution with all the eye candy on. Benchmark fans may also be interested to know that the card scores 11,292 in 3DMark Vantage.
No pricing details were made available but, of course, this will be a limited edition card with only 1,000 units expected to ship, so expect them to sell for a nice premium.

LOL...yeah, either that or a car muffler. So my guess is this will run $1,500. |

Wow...almost causes a little shifting in my pants. However, I'd agree with Tom about it probably being a 4 digit cost...if I bought that, I'd definately be in dutch with the wife. "That's a months worth of groceries..." blah blah blah. Can't see it as being a mainstream card though, nothing really needs that kind of juice (for the average or even mildly gaming enthusiast user). |

HAHA @ ColdFusion1990 so true.... To my disipointment when I see stuff like this it pisses me off ''In a way'', so if Nvidia or ATI decides to bring out a new ''Graphic Cards'' the specs have to top these, or ells it's nothing new.. /Sigh... The competition is tuff these days!! |

actually the 295 is a combo of 2 275 gpus with sightly faster clocks. this is a combo of 2 faster 285 gpus, thus its super awesome! and will make you have to take a second mortgage out of your house to buy one. |

Already saw this on some other site. Seriously, the mere awesomeness of how it looks like...like the clip of a really large gun. The clip needs cooling because the ammo dispenses are high speeds!! Yeah this is a great card for gaming and rendering alike, Good work ASUS! You've made me happy with your incredible RAGE series mATX motherboards and now this. |
