Asus HD3850 X3 revealed

Update: Asus let us know they haven’t decided the amount of memory per MXM module yet, we will get the final specs later

Exclusive: Muropaketti.com got the first pictures of Asus EAH3850 Trinity graphics card which is equipped with three 55 nm RV670 GPUs. Asus engineers have managed to build this proof of concept using MXM graphics modules from notebooks and AMD’s CrossFireX technology. All three MXM modules include RV670 GPU and not decided amount of memory (likely 512 MB). Two of the modules are located on back side of the PCB and the third one is on the front side. All GPUs are cooled with heatpipes which are routed to rear of the card and attached to separate liquid cooling solution. PCB has an additional 8-pin PCI Express power connector and the card features four DVI display connectors. Currently there are no information about the clockspeeds or availability. All we know so far is that the card actually works.

When two GPUs on one card becomes plain then you know it's time to step up and that's what Asus was probably thinking when it decided to make the Trinity. This cool name that never gets old is of one graphics card with three GPUs working in a compact CrossFireX setup.

Taking up two slots, the EAH3850 Trinity has three mobile RV670 chips and is cooled by a combination of aluminum heatsinks, copper heatpipes and an enclosed water cooling system. The three 55nm GPUs all have their dedicated memory and make use of a 256-bit memory interface. Featuring one 6-pin power connector for extra wattage, the Trinity also has four DVI connectors. The card's clocks and actual availability haven't been decided yet.

impressive

GPU clock of 769 huhhhhhh...Hrrrm, I would be willing to bet if I was running that extreme processor and that high of a core on the video card I'd be right close to that also.

Runs like a heater? Hmmmmmm. I have no heat issues with either of mine. Running 740/1125.



And gots to love fella livin in a hypothetical world . Always IF I did this or IF I ran it at this speed . Git r dun .

This reminds me of the Voodoo days. Back when they put 4 GPU processors on a single card.

I would prefer not to run mine at 760mhz...Its not a matter of if I can, sure I CAN RUN IT at that speed, but for what? 16k is more then enough to run every game profiently maxxed settings at 60+ fps.

Oh I stand corrected. It isn't hypothetical, since you say you can .



Anyway, back on topic. I do remeber MSI had a card that didn't make it to market a couple years ago using Nvidia MXM cards in sli. Is cool proof of concept though.

What was the topic again? Make fun of Rockinfella2k...? See hulioni has the real deal GX2 SLi for a while now. Wondered why he sold me that 8800 GT SSC for a song!

The Song Remains The Same...
