Asus EAH3850 X3 Trinity, world’s first benchmarks of triple-GPU card

Posted at: Tuesday 8th April 2008 by Ben Hardwidge

It’s a world-first graphics card, with 1.5GB of RAM and three Radeon HD 3850 GPUs, but does Asus’ engineering side-project actually work? We put the EAH3850 Trinity through its paces to see what three GPUs get you in today’s games

CONCLUSION

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.
