lol when you see it on the motherboard , you suddenly realize how big the thing is. wonder how it scales?

^Scroll down for the graphs. The answer: not well.

^ Yeah, at least not in the 2 games, definitely not surprised by Crysis having horrible scaling.

Thanks for the link

This is *really* old news. It scales for crap, as does any multi GPU solution beyond 2 GPUS.

wow.... a gpu that sucks a** and is expensive lol

Haha, yeah, you've got SLi GTX260s if memory serves correct

the gtx 280s don't suck a** though... but they do suck for their price

the asus trinity doesn't even compare to modern day cards lol

I love the idea, but it's probably bandwidth limited on a single x16 slot.

Yeah, it seems like ASUS is really toying with the idea of pluggable graphics cards, where you can just replace the GPU and leave the rest of the card alone. While I think that's an interesting concept, it doesn't seem like it would benefit ASUS in the long run, as they would sell fewer boards if people could just upgrade the GPUs.

yes, but selling Memory modules and Ati chipsets seems interesting. Seems a very good idea to tinker with.

Imagine 2 R700 chips + Ageia chips on the same PCB. MONSTER GARAGE !!
