HARDOCP - Introduction - ASUS ROG MARS II GTX 580 Quad SLI Video Card Review
;-)

An ASUS ROG MARS II is a limited edition video card, there are only 999 of them out there, and as such, expensive. Yes, the Mars II is stupid expensive and hard to find for purchase on top of that. If you can find one, you can probably get your hands on one for around $1,499.99, for just one. If you do, you will certainly be branded as the coolest gamer in town, or a knuckle head.

Thanks for sharing the link. One can't call them 580 as they have dual chip.

This one is a true gtx 590 (not exactly a 590 but asus's custom 580 sli dual card) with higher clocks and a fantastic vrm design.
Although prices are sky high, these are true collector's edition.

Do you think it will be available in India as it's a special edition (only few cards) ? US pricing is given above.

They won't be. India never really gets these "special edition cards never get here.

I wonder what happens if you have to RMA one of these :D

Unless they make extras, they would have to give you two 590s or 3 580s for that card.

Or may be full cash-back?
