ASUS EAH3850 Trinity - three GPUs with one card

Yes, but then you gotta factor in the custom waterblock/heatsinks, the costs for producing the independent daughterboards and tying them into the main PCB, the TT watercooling that comes with it...
The cost is going to be more then $150x3 I'm thinking, although if they offer a model without the crap bay cooling that comes with it I'd be interested.

Oh yeah, it's obviously not just $150x3 here, I'm just saying it won't be crazily expensive. Should come close and hopefully a tad under the 9800 GX2 current pricing.
At any rate, while this looks cool, I have my doubts.
I really doubt this will land on the market and if it does, chances are the production run will be extremely small. Let alone the constraints of needing a water cooling setup (whether in the end it's included with the card or not)
Oh, and when will it stop. It's getting somewhat ridiculous. There's this whole "more cores is better!" trend going on but no software to completely support those technologies.
