Asus Mars GTX 295 CE - have you guys seen this?

Oh yeah I saw those a while ago, they look like they take up 3 slots though, so I'm not sure if you can even do a Tri-SLI on those monsters. And 4GB memory.... lol. I still remember those days of having 1MB PCI video card, and you can insert 2 memory chips to make it a 2MB card so you can run 1024x768 on desktop and run mp2 videos haha.
 
Yes, that is truly a hilarious piece of hardware. Why is it so funny? Because you didn't see the price. Give me $15K and I'll get a 2 or 3 for you, plus that huge monitor that can display 3840 x 2160, and I'll keep the 5 bucks left over.
 
A few years after buying it you will feel like a douche when its standard/ less pc games to take advantage of that.

It will be a treat to enjoy with the 4 big pc titles a year, if that.
 
Yeah, unless you swear by playing Crysis and its sequels and spin-offs for the next 3 or 4 years, there is no point in spending $3000 on a pair of that card. I think we've reached the point where the rise in hardware specification requirement for the latest computer games has slowed down to a craw.

I've been saying this for a while now, that hardware has way outpaced software on the PC. Personally I think it might have something to do with development costs, as well as most high profile PC games being held back by being designed with 360 hardware in mind.

Because despite coming out 2 years ago, the game is still the best graphically. It's also the biggest GPU hog and so being able to run it well is a big badge of honor.
