Big Bang Fuzion named the Hydra-tech motherboard postponed for the first quarter as Nvidia NF200 chip has Trinergy Big Bang model, the MSI announced the delay and Nvidia Lucid Hydra technology will provide support to the statement after a long time, much anticipated future of technology is wondering was. But time will show how the political debate will run and different graphics cards Lucid in Hydra technology works on the same system used in the able. Including Intel's origin among financiers Israeli company, Hydra-related technology for the first time allowed the test results to be published. Hydra technology the opportunity to closely examine the test results to explain the finding team as they reveal the eyes of technology works. Lucid Hydra technology will not talk about at length because a simple search with the technology and operating principles, including many in the news can reach our site. But to describe briefly, if necessary, RISC-based chips and custom chip in the form of a system consisting of drive video cards of different manufacturers with this technology in the same system or different models from the same manufacturer can use the same system. Integrated motherboards can be used as, or an external card can be presented as specified in this technology Hydra chip graphics cards and processors of data traffic between the traffic police almost an organized, such as multi-screen installations card can be a maximum yield of different manufacturers and that ATI and Nvidia cards on a single system, to be used in conjunction can provide.

MSI is not yet ready for Big Bang Fuzion model tests, prepared by Lucid and we have seen an example of the Hydra chip ELSA'da carried out on a special platform. Four PCIe 2.0 slot which has a development platform, processor, memory and other system components, including the Core i7 920 processor and Gigabyte X58 motherboard is the main system PCIe bridge card via high-speed cable is connected via and in doing so PCIe 2.0 interface via% 95 -% bandwidth can be provided at a rate of 97. Which has its own private drive, with users Lucid Hydra prepared through a special interface, such as technology in the system can switch on or off the application also can choose the game or will try. The drive has a simple interface customized by the motherboard manufacturers can be expected.

  • Hydra with the same two GPU (SLI or Crossfire, etc.) scale.
  • Hydra from the same manufacturer with two different GPU scale.
  • Hydra with two different manufacturer's two different GPU scale.

But with the hybrid graphics card installations Hydra he would be an alternative to my choice of producers the same GPU SLI or Crossfire how values installations is achieved. Work has been completed and chips in the hardware side; even if this type of prepared solutions is important for drivers Lucid concentration is focused on trying to drive development. Test results before the system is running and using different GPUs together an exciting development to see although the ambitious earlier explanations for the moment against the linear way that failed to see the performance increase failed to provide. PC Perspective team from the same manufacturer to test the same and different cards Nvidia's GeForce GTX 260 and GeForce GTX 285 + models used.

3DMark Vantage is the first stop in our tests. Be seen running on the Hydra and a single card, compared to two GeForce GTX260 + 83% performance increase is actually established. Although there has been an increase in linear but not at levels that can compete with SLI 3DMark Vantage is absolutely, moreover this current drivers / software performs at the level we can say. Ongoing development activities of the solution, with a second graphics card in the rate of performance increase of up to provide 83'e%, this technology and MSI Nvidia Big Bang Fuzion most important reason for that motherboard as opposed to reason can be shown. Hydra technology potential for success in the synthetic tests, overclocking and want to break the world record speed of the professionals seems to attract the attention overclocking.

We have come to test running on the Hydra game two with the GeForce GTX 260 + Call of Juarez at 80%, Far Cry 2, we see that 51% performance increase is provided. Lucid firm performance scale game how to follow a path not yet clear, but company's presentation to use the same game, driver / software side of Hydra technology optimization requires a serious opinion does not bring to mind. Hydra GeForce GTX 260 + configuration running on double time now hybrids after the installation. To test for different models from the same manufacturer, brought together and GeForce GTX GeForce GTX 260 + In contrast, levels of performance expectations of the Hydra 285'te running on dual GeForce GTX 260 + setup we have seen falling back.

Brought to this situation you can imagine, the explanation that points to software problems and special algorithms built on the load balancing software that distress is expressed. Now it's the end of the period probably the answer to one of the most curious to clarify the question! Yes Hydra technology works in ATI and Nvidia cards together. ATI Radeon HD 4890 and Nvidia GeForce tests carried GTX 260 + in-one is executed. ATI Radeon HD 4890 running on Hydra technology and GeForce GTX 260 + and higher performance than single card installations were obtained, according to the game was 40% and 33% extra performance was announced. Game tests also can be understood at the performance of the card with the Hydra fast slow 50% of the model performance can be added.

For the moment it can run smoothly with 55 games for the Lucid Hydra technology firm work continues. Crawling on stage almost every new technology as in the Hydra to talk about some issues, but it's the general view of technology is running, such as SLI and Crossfire year against the very challenging in places, the results of its signature and most importantly, different manufacturers' cards in the same system, it can work towards. Ongoing work with the level of performance increasing the targeted Lucid technology next year in conjunction with MSI Fuzion Big Bang model, mainly in large numbers to see the motherboard, likely because the Gigabyte in a statement Lucid Hydra development kit to have and they are working on had made.
