exPreview brings us news of the new Asus MARS II graphics card that packs in two of the new Fermi-driven GTX480 chips onto a single PCB, with all of the heat and electrical problems that come along with it.
This graphics accelerator employs two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 (GF100) GPUs on one board, that is to say, this the first dual-GPU accelerator based on GF100, which is dreaded for its thermal and electrical characteristics so much. In terms of power supply, three 8-pin power interface for its big power consumption.
Theoretically, the card is Quad-SLI capable if matched with another ASUS MARS II, but the details of how they keep it from melting into slag are still a secret.
