The new MARS2 GPU looks pretty awesome. Shame about the cost. Anyone got/getting one?

I was debating it until I saw it takes up 3 slots... :evil:

it looks like it would probably have the same issue with 3 gigs across 2 cards as the 590 has. 1.5 each so 1.5 for the scene. for 1400 bux you can almost get 3 580's 3gb and have more memory to work with. granted you would need another 400 dollars to get the 3rd.

That thing is huge though. imagine if it were a steak. It could feed a couple of families! Dont ask why a steak crossed my mind when seeing the card.

Oh yes, it is purely a status symbol card. They are only making 1000 of them.
