ASUS decided to skip all the incremental one-upmanship that's a graphics card industry standard and knock it out of the park with its Mars 295 Limited Edition GPU. The gorgeous pair boast a performance bump of 21% more power than the standard dual-core GTX 295 from NVIDIA, while housed in a sweet looking cooling sleeve. ASUS will only roll out a limited number of them and, if you can't see it up there in the corner, this one reads 1/1000.
All told, the new card boasts all 240 shader processors on each GPU, a full 512-bit GDDR3 memory interface, 32 memory chips for 4GB total (2GB accessible per GPU), and the same core/shader/memory clockspeeds as the GTX 285 (648/1476/2400 MHz). By comparison, a traditional GTX 295 sports 896MB of GDDR3 per GPU on a 448-bit memory bus with core/shader/memory clockspeeds checking in at 576/1242/2000 MHz.
