It doesn't matter if we look at the results one or two cards can achieve or if the cards are placed in an overclocked environment or not. Both cases are very impressive!
An up-to-date single card setup is able to score 11'292 points in 3DMark Vantage Extreme Preset which means that the Mars scores about 2'000 points more than a standard 295 GTX.
Regarding quad SLI the Swedish overclocker Kinc was able to squeeze three new world records out of the Mars/2DI/4GD3, one in 3DMark Vantage Extreme Preset, 3DMark Vantage High Preset and 3DMark Vantage Performance Preset.
