ASUS ROG MARS760-4GD5 GeForce GTX 760x2 4GB 512-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Looks pretty slick! Would you go dual 760s or GTX 780? What are your thoughts?

It's a dual 760. Meh

Buying a dual midrange card is pointless.

Not worth the cost, I can buy 1x 780 now for 500$ and add another one later on when the price drops.

It's not really 512 bit, it's just 2x 256bit

more consumer garbage. buy a real gpu that actually is worth the dough

I had to get everyone's attention somehow, right? I'm just curious to what people think about these duals. It would still be cheaper for me to buy another 760 which a total would be $500. In the end it's $150 cheaper.

The only real purpose for dual gpu cards are for people that are stuck with only a single PCI-E slot that want the the added performance from multi gpu's

Yeah but instead of 3GB of vram, you get only 2GB with the 760 mars. Which will hurt you if you plan to use it with a 1440p monitor.

Microstuttering. Yeah nvidia is pretty good at dealing with it, but I wouldn't want any personally.

I would rather buy two GTX 760s for a cheaper price and more performance than spend extra for this.

Yeah but the ROG offers you more power than 2 760s' in SLI

it's about 20% more powerful, they've managed to extreme OC those two babies in a way that you manually can't.

Now the question if it's worth bragging about for the cost? depends on you, don't forget this is limited edition so either way you're going to own a unique GPU.

Way overpriced. The 780ti gaming edition is $700 ($50 more) and its a few percent faster than a GTX 690 (2x680).

I would rather have 2x680 performance on a single card (no driver issues) than have 2x760s with worse performance and potential driver issues

Getting a limited edition of any computer part is a bad thing generally.

They look sexy but I'd rather buy another 760 instead. For $150 that I'd save, I could use a nice SSD.

Gimmick.

Again, it's like getting the Toxic editon of the same GPU for another 80$ or so, but you're right better of getting Samsung EVO of 250Gb SSD

Speaking of 512bit... Will nVidia use that on their next GPU, Maxwell?

Rather get a 780 ti.

What happened to you getting a step-up 780ti?
