Two mid-range chips tackle a Titan
To take down a Titan of the GeForce variety,
you don't necessarily need a bigger, burlier GPU. Multiple mid-range
GPUs can do the trick, according to Asus, which just launched the Mars
760 under its Republic of Gamers (ROG) division. The Mars 760 consists
of two GeForce GTX 760 graphics chips bolted onto a single slab of
silicon, and though they're mid-range GPUs, Asus says the Mars 760 is
faster than the GeForce Titan.
Each GTX 760 GPU has 1,152 CUDA cores, so there's a total of 2,304
underneath the hood. By comparison, a GeForce GTX Titan has 2,688 CUDA
cores. To make up for the discrepancy, the Mars 760 is clocked at 1GHz
and 1,072MHz boost, making it "even faster than Titan, and the Ti 780 in
some games!," according to Asus.
Other features include soft-touch rubber paint against anodized
aluminum, a red pulsating Mars light you can see through your case
windows, a dual-slot design, DirectCU II technology, and a completely
custom PCB with a 12-phase DIGI+ VRM design using high-end components.
No word yet on when the card will be available or for how much.
