We’ll be honest with you, you thought a GTX 480 was eventually a graphics core as well damn vast and power-hungry to get a dual-GPU treatment. ASUS, however, is creation us think again. Imagery has emerged of a Mars 2 (or II, if you’re into outdated numbering schemes) reference board which fits dual 480s on its densely populated surface, and is fed by not a single, not dual, though 3 8-pin auxiliary power connectors. Back when Galaxy showed off the dual-GTX 470 prototype at Computex the month ago, we deemed it an unreasonable tender — in conditions of energy pull, heat abolition, as well as price — though assumingly those Taiwanese concentration groups are really into their extravagantly overpowered video cards. We think if as well as when this Mars 2 hits retail it’ll do so in a highly exclusive conform, similar to its prototype, and expect a phenomenon of the cooler — which is likely to be either the greatest or most appropriate engineered one we’ve seen yet.
