Asus have created the first PCB with 3 GPU's fitted to it. The 30cm card holds 3 x mobile 3850 GPU's, so far 10 have been made.

While working at a Taiwanese tech firm has got to be had work, it’s good to see that the engineers at Asus occasionally get to try their hands at something fun too. The latest engineering feat to come from Asus is the EAH3850 Trinity, which goes one step further than the Radeon HD 3870 X2 by featuring three whole GPUs onto a single card.

At last more Boys toys to look at, missed your daily updates mate

Wheres he been hiding

Benchmarks for above said card.

These results could well have more to do with CrossFireX not working correctly as with Asus’ unique implementation of a triple-GPU graphics card. After all, our initial tests of AMD’s dual-GPU Radeon HD 3870 X2 card showed similarly poor performance, with a single Radeon HD 3870 card out-performing the Radeon HD 3870 X2 in most of our Call of Duty 4 and Need for Speed: Pro Street tests. That said, the Radeon HD 3870 X2 did at least out-perform a single-GPU card in Crysis, and the Trinity couldn’t even manage that.

Either way, the Asus EAH3850 X3 Trinity has failed to impress us, whether it’s going to become a retail part or not. AMD/ATI and Nvidia want us to believe that the future of PC gaming lies in multi-GPU systems, but the Trinity, as well as Nvidia’s 3-Way SLI technology, shows that there’s still a lot of work to be done before we should now start considering single-GPU systems with the same scorn as single-core CPU PCs.

It turns out that Asus had more than triple core 3800 cards on their minds. The card can take upgrades from MXM chips from either Nvidia or ATI. The idea looks good, i hope they pull it off.

Taipei (Taiwan) - The vision of upgradeable graphic cards goes back to the late 1990s, when Micron Technology was experimenting with removable sockets. In 2006, both MSI and Gigabyte showcased upgradeable graphic cards, but their concepts, which were based on GeForce Go MXM boards, never took off. Earlier this year, Asus introduced a single board with three MXM slots for ATI Mobility Radeon 3850 or 3870 cards (upgradeable with future parts), and has now unveiled its single-MXM product. Called Splendid HD 3850M, this card doesn’t look like anything special, until you remove the dual-slot cooler. What you can see then is a MXM card with a RV670 chip and 512 MB of memory attached to the PCB that contains the Splendid HD video processor: The video processor features 12-bit gamma correction, 7-region color enhancement and dynamic contrast engine. The Graphics chip is clocked at 668 MHz while the 512 MB GDDR3 memory operates at 828 MHz DDR (1.65 GT/s). According to Asus, this MXM card will score around 600 3DMarks (3DMark06) more than ATI’s own reference design. But what makes the different, is the fact that this product is significantly shorter than the Radeon 3850 or 3870 ATI reference design. The Asus Trinity card has three MXM slots. The company is currently selling the card with three modules based on the Radeon HD 3850. Thanks to a modular design, you will be able to upgrade to upcoming MXM modules, including ATI’s RV770 and RV870 chips (Radeon HD 4800, 5800 series). Interestingly, there should be no issue to put a Nvidia-GPU based MXM module onto this card, since there is no limiting logic. Using this design, you can imagine a future where users will upgrade their graphics experience simply by buying a small module. If you would have to buy just the GPU and memory, this approach would actually lead to less money being spent, since you don’t need to buy the complete card over and over again. This new line of products appears to be much more than an engineering exercise. We hope to see future designs incorporating HDMI-in on graphics cards too, just like on the much anticipated professional sound card, Xonar AV1 . Asus is now on track of doing something new, something that can put them clearly ahead of the competition.
