Asus Rog Mars 760 coming
- Thread starter Duvar
- Start date
Out of the box a pair of reference GTX760's in SLI will beat a Titan and almost equal a GTX690 in Tomb Raider + Bioshock Infinite and the Titan will claw back just in Metro LL. However factory overclocked GTX760's in SLI will edge out the GTX690.
You have to remember that a GTX690 is based on two under clocked GTX680's, of course it can be overclocked in which case it would pull away from the Mars 760 (depending on how well ASUS beast it up), but out of the box the Mars *should* win.
I see your Meh and raise you Pfft
It will not beat it even if the GPUs kept the same clock speeds as the standard cards. It would have to run at least 1150MHz on each core to equal it, then you're getting some power and heat from a single card. I don't see that happening. If it does, i will eat my metaphorical hat.

Nope, Asus will be doing this independently and nothing to do with Nvidia!
From the Heaven 4 bench, no GTX 760s but I think the GTX 690 does ok against some of the other NVidia cards.
I don't like these Uber Asus cards, some of the recent ones have been rubbish and caused users no end of problems.
Anyone remember their version of the HD 7990.
This is a comparison of GTX670 SLI vs GTX690: http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/39605-nvidia-geforce-gtx-670-sli-vs-the-beasttm/?page=5
As you can see the GTX670's are quite close. Now the MSI GTX760 HAWK is faster than a GTX670, in fact it's within a couple of percent of a reference GTX680, which are clocked higher than the 680 chips on the 690. So all the Mars 760 has to do to beat the GTX690 out of the box is be a bit quicker per core than a 760 HAWK.
It shouldn't really be hard as this is a Mars were talking about, they're the Nvidia equivalent of the Ares, ASUS is going to make sure it's an absolute beast.
Those are some nice out of the box scores there

Just showing what a GTX 690 is capable of. Mine can easily run at GTX 770 clocks on the core and memory. IIRC a GTX 770 trumps a GTX 760.
? So you're comparing with different cards back in 18 May 2012? I know the reviews are hard to find, but really? The GTX670 is better than the 760.
It will be hard and they're going to have to make sure it's a beast.
In all honesty, i hope they do. In fact, if it does and it doesn't require GPU Tweak then once i've finished eating my hat i will probably try it.

So to be clear, we're starting with a clocked 760, adding another to the same card, and then upping the core clock to hit this 690 beating performance out of the box. Is it coming with a custom watercooling loop out of the box too, or a fire extinguisher?
To be honest, it could be there watercooler again like they had on their ARESII.

Yeah, if it was going to only be water-cooled anyway then I doubt it'd have been starting with the 760. *shrug* We shall see soon I guess 
hope I'm wrong and it's surprisingly good performance for the price but it seems unlikely at the moment.
hope I'm wrong and it's surprisingly good performance for the price but it seems unlikely at the moment.Or as a go-between, i still think it's possible with just newer cores that the 770 has with a stock frequency of say 1050MHz and utilising boost 2.0. and ASUS could do the same but with the 780 cores and a ridiculous cooler.
I don't understand why they want to use 760 GPUs though. Just seems very lazy and "Meh" and we know it'll it get released at £600+
Well before overclocking a dual GTX760 card should have quite a bit lower power consumption* than a R290X so as long as ASUS don't use a stock HD7970 cooler all should be good
*dual 760 won't have anywhere near twice the power consumption as a single 760 just like GTX690 is nowhere near twice what the 680 is.
Factory overclocked ones are yes. I was using stock 670 performance as a basis for comparison because we know stock 760 performance is slightly higher (by design) and so we know stock 760 SLI would be slightly closer to GTX690 than stock 670 SLI is, and from that guesstimate that a pair of 760's in a Mars running insane clocks could get well within striking distance of GTX690 in "out of box" performance.
The is a (very outside) chance they may use serial Poseidon heatsinks on it (they developed them for 760 as well as 770).

Let's just agree to disagree on this guys and see where the chips land, assuming it doesn't get shelved like the Mars 3.

Two 760s...
Meh
They should have made another dual high end card. Would like to see a dual 290 pro or 780 card with a custom cooler or an AIO loop attached. Sure it would come with a higher price tag but it would make for much more interesting benching and forum talk!
I cant see this being ground breaking or good value for money (though id like to be wrong).
