Asian tech website Expreview published photos of the ASUS ROG Mars III dual-GeForce GTX 680 graphics card.

The card is unusually long and gall, it features three 8-pin PCIe power connectors, a 21-phase VRM with Super Alloy chokes and driver-MOSFETs, and a PLX PEX8747 PCIe 3.0 x48 bridge chip. Each of the two GK104 GPUs features 4GB GDDR5, for a grand total of 8GB of memory.

The card will not be released though, TPU received word that the design was only displayed during a factory tour to demonstrate ASUS' craftmanship.
