Forget FPS and polygon crunching, we want one of these ASUS EAH3850 just for its sheer logic-defying properties. ASUS really took AMD’s CrossFireX multi-GPU capabilities and ran with them, stuffing a ludicrous trio of GPUs onto a single “concept” card. Three RV670 cores power the setup, and it’s kept cool by some heatpipes and a water block. If your box doesn’t implode in incredulity, that means you can power four monitors with the three GPUs, or power a single monitor with all four at once for some seriously serious World of Warcraft, though we’ll have to wait for benchmarks to see how well this setup actually runs.

Get ready to burn through your allowance, kids, as AMD is getting set to loose its Catalyst 8.3 drivers for all to indulge in. What does the download net you, exactly? Why, CrossFireX support, of course. Starting today, users can link up any combination of RV670- and R680-based products — that includes the Radeon HD 3850, Radeon HD 3870 and Radeon HD 3870 X2 — in order to acquire triple- and quad-GPU performance within Windows Vista. Additionally, the drivers also introduce ATI Hybrid Graphics support in Vista, which was boasted about already when the firm unveiled its upcoming 780G chipset. Check out the read link for the full list of changes, and keep an eye on the firm’s support page for v8.3 to surface any moment now.

Sure, SLI technology is fine and dandy, but ATI’s hoping to remove some of the restrictions found on current multi-GPU setups with its forthcoming CrossFire X technology. As we’ve seen before, the idea here is to “take two, three or four GPUs and use their power to render one game faster than you otherwise would be able.” Over at PC Perspective, those kind folks were able to pick AMD’s brain on the topic, and aside from getting confirmation that CrossFire X “supports multi-GPU configurations of any combination of RV670- and R680-based products,” we also found that a public release was just weeks away. Better still, there’s a full report detailing the results of putting the technology to the test, and yes, initial impressions do seem quite positive. Hit the read link for the full spill, cool?
[Thanks, sizewise]
