There will be no MARS III this year sorry. 😞 It's not that we don't have one, as you've already seen it, but other reasons prevent us from launching it I'm afraid.

You mean cos the 7xx series is probably right around the corner? 😛

Becasue Nvidia said nobody is allowed to make a single GPU faster than the REF 690 😞

Nvidia are becoming dictators. This and their 'no overvolting' rules are slowly pushing manufacturers to favoring AMD and that's why i think we've been seeing so many High End ASUS Specific AMD cards in recent times (7970 Matrix, Ares II Dual 7970's)

just seen this posted on another site and had to zoom over here to see what was up. That thing is sooo sick looking. I knew these were coming, the idea is just too good. Too bad its amd, I run NVidia currently for the 3d.

@dedacial, you have this currently for your cards. Its called "The Mod". I have been doing my cards for a long while now and its amazing.

Sure dedaciai here is the link for both clubs on OCN:

http://www.overclock.net/t/1203636/official-amd-ati-gpu-mod-club-aka-the-red-mod

and for NVidia cards

http://www.overclock.net/t/1203528/official-nvidia-gpu-mod-club-aka-the-mod

The clubs have been going for a little under a year and were formed to help inform and share ideas. Prior to these clubs it was just separate logs and was starting to clutter up the cooling section lol. Its VERY popular now. The Nvidia club may even see 1/4 million views in its first year. WHooot
