ASUS has unveiled what it claims to be 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 a 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.
Now if you're slavering over this piece of water cooled, graphic goodness, just hold on a second. As we've written above, its still a concept model so until ASUS actually anounces an actual for sale model, we just have to hold on to our horses. Until then just read on for more info on this card and its specifications.
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.
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.
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.
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.
