GeForce GTX 295 Mars Asus Edition Review

GeForce GTX 295 Mars Asus Edition is, just like GeForce GTX 295, two GeForce GTX 285 in SLI mode but with increased clock frequencies.
Unlike GeForce GTX 295, GeForce GTX 295 Mars Asus Edition features 4 whole Gigabytes of video memory and Asus also managed to increase the core-clock from 576MHz to 648MHz and the memory clock from 999MHz to 1100MHz.
Benchmarks indicate the performance is about 10% better compared to the standard GeForce GTX 295.
Even the most demanding games will run at the highest settings.

This card is just 31% better than my gts 450. But the gtx 285 is 43% better. Does that make sense?
