ASUS' Trinity triple 3850 gets benched

[homerdog]

Gotta respect ASUS for being creative and trying out new things, even if this never makes it to market:

94k in 3DMark03 and 25k in 3DMark06

As Asus' triple MXM HD 3850, branded Trinity, has raised a lot of eyebrows and questions. Our colleagues from Nordichardware managed to get exclusive benchmarks of this, let's just say interesting card. Asus' Trinity scores 94,110 in 3DMark 03 with Intel QX9770 at 4600MHz and 24,909 in 3DMark06 with the same CPU.

As for the specs of these RV670 MXM modules, the core, or to be more precise "cores", work at 668MHz and it comes with 512MB of GDDR3 memory running at 1656MHz, of course for each MXM module. This all adds to 1536MB of memory on a single card. According to the results, this card claims the throne of the highest single card score using an air cooled system. Of course, the Trinity was overclocked to 769/1053MHz, which was the maximum setting in the Catalyst Control Center.

According to the post over at Nordichardware, this card can go even higher and that overclock was limited by the lack of software tools and nothing else. We will surely see more of this card soon. You can find the original article here and the screenshots here.

Ok... Fine..... However...... BRING THE DAMN THING TO LAPTOPS YA BA$$TURDZ, AND STOP MAKING DESKTOP CARD/SOLUTIONS OUT OF MOBILE CARDS !!!!!!! [:wr2:4] [:zorg:2] [:zorg:2] [:wr2:4]

Ok, sorry, but I had to do that, and yes I feel better now.

What is the 3d marks 2006 record ? Does this beat it?

It might be able to come close to the highest single-card score, but this thing won't end up being that fast in games unless AMD can further improve the drivers.

I just thought this was a cool concept, not necessarily the fastest or most practical solution out there.

Must be close to fastest single card. Definitely fastest stock single card lol

Kinda interesting.

I wonder why better tech sites like Tomshardware,XBITLABS, anandtech........ review it they are more trustable

 

[cah027]

I wish they would just make faster single chips instead of throwing more chips at it.

 

[San Pedro]

I'm sure they're working on that too cah027, it just takes a whole lot longer to make new card designs.

Probably because this is a special one-off/limited type product only given to the OC gods like Kinc who works for NordicHardware, to make PR records.

 

[Maziar]

Maybe
BTW I have heard about AMD/ATI HD 3850/3870 coming to notebooks this year

 

[TheGreatGrapeApe]

Yeah it was actually supposed to be her for MArch, that's why I'm a little Agro.... and I can't find my meds.

guys i dont know about you but my jaw hit the floor after finding out 24909 was not a typo. Im not fanboy of anthing by far im just completly shocked that a xfire(or sli even) could get scores like this with out doing a completely outrageous OC and cooling job. I agree I would like to see some real world games benches but damn that looks nice so far.
