Simple review on Triplex 6850 GREEN 1GB GDDR5

66684 · Jan 23, 2011

AMD 6850 already available in the market for a long time, the manufacturers have also started a self-designed version of AMD 6850
Famous Taiwan manufacturers Triplex are one of them, let's take a look the world's first green version of AMD 6850 by Triplex !

Front of card

The PCB

3+1 Phase PWM Module

6850 Core

Hynix H5GQ1H24AFR - T2C , Max Freq. is 5Gb

Display Port, Mini Display Port, HDMI and DVI Outputs

The Heatsink fan

CU Core inside, just like ASUS' CU Core

According to official instructions, green version and the regular version of the performance is exactly the same
To confirm this, we got a regular edition for 6850 comparison test to see !

Test Platform :

AMD PhenomII X4 965 @ Default
DDR-III 1333 2GB x2 (Kit)
Biostar TA785G3 HD (785G+SB750)
Windows 7 Ultimate
ATI CCC 10.12
3DMark06、Vantage、11、Heaven 2.1、Street Fighter 4、Final Fantasy XIV

Test results -

From the above data, the performance of 6850 green version are same as regular version,
so the price is the main point of Green version !

Look at the holes on PCB. Chip is in the corner, not on center. Cooling does not cover all chip.

Triplex??? Famous Taiwanese manufacturer??? :confused:

Never heard of them

Well spotted!

Cucore doesn't line up well at all eh.

Cool to see 6850 with no powerconnector though, wonder what overclocking these is like?

Few o these in crossfire ftw!

I like the VRM area, + 4 of these http://image1.dhgate.com/upload/201...20127f0e949c737c6/productimg1281428932609.jpg ( triplex do this, will cost you an extra 30pence per card but just charge for that extra spent and BAM much better card for cheaper

heh ) would mean nice overclocking headroom. potentially.

@pantherx12
Which coolers are these? I am looking for something like that to put on the mosfets of my 460 Hawk Talon Attack? Do you maybe have a link where i could buy them?

Will send you a PM with link to the ebay shop I get them from.

Only problem is they get sent from HK by boat or something, takes 1 week minimum for them to arrive.

heky · Jan 23, 2011

Thanks man.

LittleLizard · Jan 23, 2011

A)You honored the name thread, it's simple :laugh:

(COMPLETE but simple)

B) 6850 and no power adapter :eek:

(altough given it's around a 5750 and powercolor did the same to one, it's technically posible)

sliderider · Jan 23, 2011

I can't see how they managed to get the power consumption down below the 75W that the PCIe slot can provide without affecting performance. At idle I can see and even under light usage, but if you plan on gaming with this card with everything turned on, I don't see it fitting in that power envelope without dropping the clocks.

Never heard of them

You've probably never heard of a lot of the manufacturers who make the things you use every day. For example, there's only something like 3 or 4 factories in the world that build laptops even though there are dozens of brand names. The big name companies like Dell and HP submit their specifications to the manufacturers and the manufacturers build them and slap the logo of whatever customer they are doing the job for on the lid. If you've ever RMA'd a laptop to a location in Fort Worth, Texas, then most likely it went to the Arima RMA center there regardless of what brand it was because that's the name of the company that was contracted to build it. It's also the reason why you can go into the big box stores and see laptops on display that look damn near like identical twins and have identical specs but different names on the lid. Everything inside is exactly the same because they both came off the same assembly line.

douglatins · Jan 23, 2011

That looks disgusting, like a FX5x00 series, IMHO

Over_Lord · Jan 23, 2011

So whats the power consumption of this one?

TheLostSwede · Jan 23, 2011

Is this a paid for advertorial for Triplex?

a_ump · Jan 23, 2011

I believe that just like many things that have "set" limits on paper, they're actual potential to output more power is well known to be 150watts on PCI-E 2.0, or at least that was the origional expectation but they instead decided to say it can only take 75watts. That's how i understand it.

HossHuge · Jan 23, 2011

Although I am intrigued by the product, I've never heard of the brand Triplex and I've lived in Taiwan for the last 7 years. It could possibly be that one of the manufacturers here changed their name, for example, Lantic. Or another thought just occurred to me that it might be an Asian Nvidia partner (Leadtek or Colorful) could be making ATI/AMD now or something.

Zen_ · Jan 23, 2011

Heatsink design looks a lot like the Asus CuCore 5770...which was really mediocre.

Swamp Monster · Jan 23, 2011

^And like on Sapphire HD 4850 too

Over50 · Jan 24, 2011

Green ( Going Going Gone !)
PCB made from Rice Patty .. easy to install components by pushing leads into patty.
Cooling Fan ..use straw place paper fan on top (making a Pin Wheel)
Push into PCIe slot ...easy now don't break the card..
Used Paper Clip for Electrical connection ... power here.

Yeah!!!! this is TriPlex alright. LOL

Complete but simple ..... and colorful too if ya paint it.

Note: Add Water and see Beautiful Fireworks Display.

meran · Jan 25, 2011

wow if u put 2 of them in crossfire u will burn your motherboard

meran · Jan 25, 2011

at least its 100x better than this shit
http://www.inno3d.com/products/graphic_card/gf9/image/gf9800gt.jpg

it died after 1 year only

purecain · Jan 25, 2011

the cards a good idea as it will feed the needs of the pre-built(dell,PcWorld,Hp...stuck with apiece of shit) market...
usually when someone wants to upgrade their pre-built crap... they end up having to replace the psu minimum...or start a new build...
that may not be the case now with these cards...

a good idea...
