Asus Officially Launches Trinity
ASUS, producer of top quality graphic solutions, has today unveiled the world's first on-board triple GPU solution with the concept model ASUS EAH3850 TRINITY/3DHTI/1.5G graphics card. With three RV670PRO GPUs onboard, users can enjoy an astonishing 139% improvement in speeds when compared to single-GPU solutions. Additionally, the EAH3850 TRINITY is equipped with a MXM module for upgrade possibilities and two exclusive extra DVI outputs. It also features a specially designed water cooling solution - ensuring efficient heat dissipation for stable performance. On top of all this, the ASUS EAH3850 TRINITY is equipped with a world-exclusive large onboard memory size of 1.5GB - designed to provide feature-rich DirectX 10 gaming and the best multimedia playback at ultra-high resolutions and maximum quality settings.
Unparalleled Performance with Just One Card
As the world's first onboard triple GPU solution, the ASUS EAH3850 TRINITY/3DHTI/1.5G is able to elevate 3DMark06 scores from 4880 to 11662 - an astonishing 139% speed improvement when compared to the single-GPU solutions *. Gamers can now truly feel the exhilarating rush of extreme gaming performance only with the ASUS EAH3850 TRINITY.
Exclusively Designed Hardware Features
The EAH3850 TRINITY comes with the MXM module design that allows users to obtain the flexibility to upgrade the MXM VGA module in regards to GPU and memory size with lower costs. The EAH3850 TRINITY also utilizes a specially designed water cooling solution that effectively dissipates heat away from the three GPUs through heatpipes that are specially connected to the main board of the graphics card instead of the GPUs. Due to the fact that the water cooling solution works exceptionally well even with upgraded GPU and memory, the hassles of displacing the thermal module when upgrading the MXM VGA module is avoided for minimized upgrading costs. On top of all this, the EAH3850 TRINITY is equipped with two extra DVI outputs for a maximum of four-display video outputs.
World Exclusive 1.5GB GDDR3 Onboard Memory for the Best Graphics
Memory size is paramount if one does not want to suffer from graphic bottlenecks. With most current and upcoming games requiring high video memory requirements; plus the fact that game developers still constantly increasing the estimated video memory size, the ASUS EAH3850 TRINITY/3DHTI/1.5G is able to truly deliver a world-class graphical performance - allowing users to fully enjoy games or movies without lag or stuttering even at very high resolutions and maximum quality settings.
Unprecedented Rock Solid Quality from ASUS
In line with the Rock Solid promise of quality from ASUS, the EAH3850 TRINITY comes with several solutions to provide top quality graphic performance. The temperature of the newly adopted DIP Spring Chokes is 5~10°C lower in comparison to traditional Toroidal Coil Chokes; while the Japan-made polymer capacitors lowers power loss to provide more stability. Users will thus feel at ease while enjoying extreme performance with ASUS' uncompromising quality only with the ASUS EAH3850 TRINITY.

By the way, why on earth did they do 3DMark06 with a Pentium 4?
-Indybird
They used that because with all the processors they used, that configuration gave them the highest increase between a single and a triple GPU setup. Plain and simple.
-Indybird
MUN-EEE
Really though, is this gonna be around the price of 3 3850's? Or significantly more?
i wonder if you can run 2 of them???
prob not considering the watercooled
and when they say "users can enjoy an astonishing 139% improvement in speeds when compared to single-GPU solutions" are they referring to one 3850?
edit: even though i dont think games can utilize 6 most only show improvements up to 3yea its a prob. my sys does the same thing because im running sli with 3gigs of ram in 32 bit so it doesn't see as much as the ram as it should
This card is innovation. its got upgradeable GPU's, watercooling, and three GPU's on the one slot that i doubt would get bottlenecked.
I am truly impressed by this one.
In other terms, the 139% increase is likely significantly overstated and does not represent what a user (using the same CPU) will experience, when upgrading from a single-GPU solution to the Trinity.
and worth adding is the resolution.
This is going to be fun, cant wait for reviews.
