ASUS Mars GTX 295 claims addition world records
Written by Andreas G 10 June 2009 20:43

ASUS Mars GTX 295 is a graphics card beyond other cards and as you saw in our preview of the card there is plenty of power to collect from this specially designed dual-GPU card. ASUS has come up with design for the card that is more or less two GeForce GTX 285 cards slapped together, unlike the reference GeForce GTX 295. The performance is impressive, which we saw a few weeks ago, and now NH celebrity Marcus "Kinc" Hultin has moved up a gear and published the first world records with the card.

By pairing two ASUS Mars GTX 295 card in Quad SLI Marcus has moved past the magic 40,000 border in Futuremark's 3DMark Vantage Performance profile. The final score was 40,824 points, world record and the second score ever over 40,000 points.

With Intel's new Core i7 975 Extreme Edition processor clocked to a bit more than 5.1GHz Marcus also decided to collect the world record in 3DMark Vantage High with 34,711 points.

Despite these impressive results Marcus says there is more to get, especially from the graphics cards that he hopes to push over 1GHz on the cores, as they are currently walking along at reasonably calm 870MHz.

ASUS Mars GTX 295 is truly the fastest graphics card around, but with a total production of only 1000 units you will need to save for some time before you can afford one.
