I really like the look of this card , it looks really good.
Performance is better than I though it was going to be
It's priced fairly for the performance but you can still get 2x 760 for ~£400.
Or 770SLI for just over £500
now just from pure observation weren't the specifications of the 690 pretty dern
close to the now new MARS GTX760?
both using dual GK-104 cores, both having 2GB per core, both having 256-bit memory
band-width (512-bit total), and both had memory speed of over 6000MHz.
really what i see is the MARS GTX 760 is a better price point, better cooling option,
and better overclocking possibilities. not that the GTX 700-series has its "quirks" of
carry-over from the 600-series, but has this mimicked the same influence that the
GTX 700-series has done already, but in a more obtainable idea and better packaging?
just some quick observations without side-by-side comparos..

Around £520
I can't see a point of this card..
u can get 2 EVGA 770 Superclock ACX for 540... ya 20 quid more and much more performance.

If the price was 420 not 520 then ya but 520... stiupid.

It would never have been the same price as two 760's its narrow minded to think it would have tbh.

Let's not jump to conclusions, a £120 premium on top of 2x760 directCUII's is the thing that erks me.
£120 in my eye's should of been more around the £80 mark, let's not kid each other here as the R&D on the MARS brand is minimal at best at this point, they know what works and they just replicate it, slap a PLX on the PCB, give it a jacked up power deliver and plonk a decent cooler on. This card lacks the stigma of all the other MARS cards as it's not the absolute top performance card out there, this is the issue with asking for £120 on top of two mid ranged cards.
I just think it would be more compelling in the sub 500 region.

a good option if you a itx board although a 780ti would be better

Have an "order" for one of these already placed with my companies hardware vendor. They will snap one up the second they become available to the e retailers.
It's a shame that two could be a bit of a fail combination. I would like to see that tested though...

Why do you want one, according to your signature you already have a GTX 690 which is better in every department.

I have been building and spec'ing a completely new rig for a few months now and have been looking for something different for the GPU. Then this little beauty surfaced. I waited "patiently" until the review and as it got a thumbs up I was like hey lets do it. (Same basic reasoning behind the 690 purchase all that time ago now
)So basically its going into a new rig..
