Asus is working on a new card that could easily become the fastest card based on the GT200 GPU. The card will be called ASUS MARS 295 Limited Edition. Although named Geforce GTX 295, this one is based on a different GPU, G200-350-B3 which is actually the one used on Geforce GTX 285 card.

The GPUs will have all the 240 shader processors, full 512-bit memory interface talking to 32 memory chips, a 4GB of video memory (2GB for each GPU). The card will work at GTX 285 clocks, 648MHz for core, 1476MHz for shaders and 2400MHz for GDDR3 memory.

The pictures show a dual sandwich design PCB with 16 memory chips on each PCB, a 6-phase digital PWM power circuit and an 8-pin PCI-Express power connector. Each PCB has a Volterra VRM controller with I2C interface which means that it supports software voltage control, so we bet that Asus will include its Voltage Tweak feature on this one.

Although it uses the cooler that works in the same manner as the reference one, it looks like something that fell out of sci-fi movie, thanks to the cooler cover. It is apparently a bit higher than the reference card and still takes up two slots.

Asus even released a few 3DMark Vantage tests in order to show that the card works with existing drivers and that it beats the crap out of GTX 295 cards. The card should appear at Computex if everything goes smooth, and we are quite sure that Asus will at least show it, if not run it in a quad SLI setup. Of course, this will be a limited edition card and apparently only 1000 pieces will be made.

Guys at Techpowerup.com managed to score a bunch of pictures and some more details which you can find here.
