Trying to find a MARS gpu for my collection.

Hey guys,
I have a fairly decent ROG motherboard collection and now are chasing limited edition ROG gpu's. Are there any MARS gpu's around? They seem to be fairly hard to find. I'm located in Australia also which makes it hard to get a hold of gear like this. Even to be pointed in the right direction would be appreciated.

That's nice when someone collect older hardware from premium class.
I saw one picture before few days with all ROG Motherboards boxes on one place from Rampage III and Maximus III period.
Good luck in your search.

Haha was that around a Christmas tree? Cause that was mine. 🙂 I need to start watermarking my stuff I think. Lol. So yes my motherboard collection is about 52 strong and now I want in on the graphics card side of things. I got my Ares II yesterday and will have an original Ares next week. The Mars cards are very hard to find but definitely want them in my collection.

Yes, around christmas three. I carefully look models and even AMD boards are there and Black Editions.
I can tell some for me nice cards from ASUS

5870 V2
5870 Matrix
ASUS III ARES Nicest of all
980Ti Matrix
980Ti Poseidon
MARS 760

I was so sad because I didn't find 5870 V2 in that period and I bought 5870 2GB Eyefinity but I always fished 5870 V2
That was before 5-6 years.

About 90% of the boards work and in box with original accessories. It's a collection that has been alot of fun doing as I get to benchmark each board as I get it 🙂 I should have the other 11 boards that are left by the middle of the year.
