Inside you’ll find the product which is carefully packaged in Styrofoam. You’ll receive the basics, including power converter cables as the MARS required two 8-pin PCie power leads. other than that, driver CD, pouch manual, SPDIF cable and sub-d-DVI dongle.

Being the dual-PCB version you have an advantage, you get a native HDMI connector. Both the DVI ports support simultaneous HDCP and are dual link capable. Dual link means you can hook up a high resolution monitor up to 2560 x 1600, and likely even higher.

The only difference between the two is performance and [...]

Introduction That's six Dell 30" displays, each with an individual resolution of 2560 x 1600. The game is World of Warcraft and the man crouched in front of the setup is Carrell Killebrew, his name may sound familiar.
