With the emerge of MSI Big Bang Trinergy,creative and practical HYDRA developed by Lucid has come into practice.However,it has biggest roadblock,NVIDIA.
The Hydra multi-GPU engine allows vendor-neutral and model-neutral GPU performance upscaling, without adhering to proprietary technologies such as NVIDIA SLI or ATI CrossfireX.Lucid HYDRA has posed a great threat to SLI.It is necessary to be forced out.Interestingly,NVIDIA just criticized Intel due to USB 3.0 delay.
NVIDIA claims that it is working on its drivers to ensure that its GeForce GPUs don’t work on platforms that use Hydra.All above force MSI to cancell the use of Lucid HYDRA.In fact,MSI is planning to make a series products with this motherboard,named:Big Bang Fuzion.
NVIDIA、Lucid、MSI is yet to give official remark on this.Expects to have a feasible solution for major players.
If you’re wondering why the highly-anticipated MSI Big Bang Trinergy motherboard turned out to be using NVIDIA’s nForce 200 SLI chip, with no sign of the Lucid Hydra 200 chip as it promised, the answer is simple - NVIDIA does not like it.
Considering the product would impact NVIDIA’s profit coming from SLI fee, the green giant decides that it’s time to do something. Firstly, they will break support for Lucid’s chip at the driver part, and by unknown means force MSI to postpone their “Big Bang” motherboard. Though MSI claims the Big Bang Fusion powered by Hydra engine will be released by the end of 2009, we don’t think so, exactly. The site
Overclock3D believes the board will be delayed to early next year, or even be killed finally.
The multi-GPU solution has opened up a totally different battlefield, but NVIDIA is apparently unprepared yet or unwilling to fight.
