The change of PCB makes the card require more in cooling performance. Single-PCB GTX295 features reference cooler which is 22.61mm thick. The two large heatsinks can effectively cool down the GT200 chips as well as PCB board, and the 88.5mm-diameter turbo fan is capable of delivering heat outside. You know, the previous GTX295 can’t vent the heat out of chassis, which is a big problem.

No word on price or availability of single-PCB GTX295 yet.

ASUS Designs Own Monster Dual-GTX 285(GTX295) 4 GB Graphics Card Limited 1000 unit

ASUS has just designed a new monster graphics card that breaks the mold for reference design GeForce GTX 295, called the ASUS MARS 295 Limited Edition. The card, although retains the name "GeForce GTX 295", same device ID, and is compatible with existing NVIDIA drivers, has two huge innovations put in by ASUS, which go far beyond being yet another overclocked GeForce GTX 295: the company used two G200-350-B3 graphics processors, the same ones that make the GeForce GTX 285. The GPUs have all the 240 shader processors enabled, and also have the complete 512-bit GDDR3 memory interface enabled. This dual-PCB monstrosity holds 32 memory chips, and 4 GB of total memory (each GPU accesses 2 GB of it). Apart from these, each GPU system uses the same exact clock speeds as the GeForce GTX 285: 648/1476/2400 MHz (core/shader/memory).
