Wonder if it can play Angry Birds or Facebook games? lol
Perhaps that is the card to hit the holy grail of 60fps across three screens? Only times guna tell!
Looks more like an electric space heater! With 3 fans running will it need to be in another room? …maybe one with a raised floor?!?
Sooner or later we're going to have graphics cards that have a slot for a CPU rather than the other way around. Gonna be the only way to fit them into a case!
Take this one, the MARS III!

Omg wtf is that! Lol how would that even fit in a chassis? I mean without hitting or blocking something important? Just insane!
JAW DROP!
Design and everything are SUPERB!
ASUS Nailed it again :)
Should get an award for the ugliest card also. The 690 is gorgeous

Which way does it fit??? I think you need a modded case to fit this baby, especially if you have a already big CPU cooler like D14
The blowers on this look stronger than the extractor fans in my kitchen!! I wonder how warm this beast gets? To be fair whoever can afford one can afford for a liquid nitrogen feed for it so meh.
Is it just me who thinks this wouldn't look that bad if the paint job wasn't that glossy?
The MARS cards are absolutely insane and do put perform most single card solutions.
But why did they go with that heatsink design with them branching off the back? It will most likely cause a few people some trouble
You'd have to lean your PC, window-side against the wall to stop it keeling over…
I bet it will be around the £1500 mark, couldn't you just get a normal 690 and OC it?
For a good while the difference between an OC'd 690, any other Mars and this, is going to be whether you enjoy playing all of your games at well over 60fps easily, or playing all of your games at well over 60fps easily.
It's a triple fan-cooled e-peen supreme.
This looks lovely, would only be useful for high resolutions though!

I also find the paint job a bit laughable. It looks like the shroud was hand-painted by some 10-year-old with a cheap enamel paint. It actually reminded me of those old Matchbox toy cars I used to have. Mars II's finish looks a lot better, IMHO.
I really don't see the use in the MARS series other than bragging rights.

They're there to make the mid-range look cheap.
So is this card going to be recognized as a single card, or will it show up as 2 cards running in SLI? Anybody know? My guess is it will show up as 2 cards running in SLI.
