It'll cost more than the 5970 Mars card. (1300$?) Yup, that's 2 GTX 480's crammed into one PCB.

Check out the 3 8pin power adapters, 150w x 3 + 75w = 525w, woohoo! That's more than my entire system is right now (if I only have 1 monitor on).

thats a beastie alright. More than likely to resemble the sun's corona for temps lol

Thats an awful lot of power for a dual gpu card. All that unefficientness aside, raw performance should really be something.

They can't decide yet if it will come with a 4 slot cooler or a water block.

Either way - its going to produce sick amounts of heat. I say go water and run a loop to a water tank so you can take hot showers.

Should fit easily into any tower. Sure its pretty small too. Does it include a case of jiffy pop pop corn to cook on the card as well.

herd corsair's starting to sell a side panel for the 800d that is a grilling surface, with a bun warming rack attached to the backside, if you read the whitepaper on the mars 2 it states its actually powered by the sun via a 24 pin solar matrix connector. est output of 88000 btu's.
