The name is kind of weird, but then this board is based on the GTX 760

ASUS will really leave people flummoxed if it goes through with the plans that certain folks at VideoCardz claim to have uncovered.

According to them, the company is preparing a GeForce GTX 760 that is not, in fact, a GTX 760.

Instead, it's more accurate to say that it's two GTX 760 in one, or a dual-GTX 760 adapter.

Basically, ASUS is making a dual-GK104 card called ROG Mars 760 and featuring 2,304 CUDA cores, 64 ROPs, 4GB GDDR5 VRAM, 512-bit memory interface and 192 TMUs.

In other words, it's like having two GTX 760 cards in SLI, only occupying a single PCI Express slot.

For comparison, the single-GK110 GTX 780 is similarly powerful, but with 384-bit interface, 3 GB GDDR5 instead of 4 GB, and 48 ROPs.

Sales will probably depend most on price and power draw (bound to be high on both counts), since performance is sure to be high.
