Let's move onwards to our photo-shoot. Two pages with photo's then and most of it from our own photo-shoot.
So let's focus on the card itself. Very heavy, very sturdy. The casing is made out of a metal finish. The card is using the new DCUII dual-slot cooler which uses two silent 90mm fans, double ball bearing based. The radiator covers the VRM and even memory area. The cooler can dissipate roughly 400~450W of heat whilst remaining silent. As a result under full load this card manages to stay below 80 degrees C in our testing. The card is roughly 10.5 Inches in length which is like 27 cm.
With the MARS GTX 760 you will receive four display connectors, you'll spot a mini size Display port connector and three DVI connectors (dual-link). You can combine these connectors to setup a surround view (multi-monitor) setup. One card will give you more than sufficient performance to play your games on three monitors. To date, we still receive this question a lot, but dual-link DVI does not mean you can hook up two monitors to one connector. Dual-link means double the signal, that way monitor resolutions over 1920x1200 can be supported or you could use a 120Hz monitor. So explained very simply, dual-link DVI supports high-resolution (above 1920x1200) or high-refresh rate (120Hz) monitors.
ASUS offers this MARS edition factory clocked for you at 1007MHz with a Boost clock of 1072 MHz. And as our article will show later on, there's room for tweaking as we got this puppy running stable over 1200 MHz on the boost frequency. The card obviously, as you can see, is 100% custom designed in fact the only thing that ASUS didn't touch where the two NVIDIA GPUs they needed.
There's no review without a retail box shot here at Guru3D.com, this is what you can expect when you purchase the product, assuming you can find it. Small note, previous models where 3-slot designs, we always complained about that and like it very much that the design now is 2-slot. Notice by the way that the outer shell if the card is styled after the ROG design that was implemented on the Rampage series motherboards as well. Nice to match up.
