Before anyone starts pitching a tent, it needs to be said that this video card is not going into production, and is strictly an engineering sample. With that out of the way, let's meet the Asus Trinity: an amazingly potent graphics card based on the combined power of three HD 3850 chips, sporting 1.5 GB GDDR3 video memory and a specially designed liquid-cooling solution needed to disappear the enormous amount of heat this monster pushes out. The Trinity boasts an almost 140% speed improvement over single GPU solutions, and is capable of raising the 3DMark06 score of a PC running the aforementioned single GPU solution from 4880 3DMarks to an unbelievable 11662 3DMarks. The Asus Trinity's particulars are as follows - GPU's @ 660 MHz, video RAM @ 1.7 GHz with a 256-bit per core memory bus, all putting out a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1600 to no fewer than four DVI ports.
