This is nothing more than a PCIe bridge for now, and the mobo may not see the light of day :doh:

That^^ has not been substantiated or confirmed... matter-of-fact, that chip looks alot different than the two previous they showed a year back.

Lucid didn't market their H100 chip, because it would only work on DirectX9 and Lucid already knew DX11 was in the works...

Given the talent, board of members and inverstors... I'm sure they are working on a mature version of this infant technology. They have something like 50+ patents.. and have no need to hurry. Plus, Larrabee isn't out yet and that's when this chip will make the most sense.

RTFM... :D

Coincidentally, could this be the reason nVidia chose to announce their PhysX restriction the other day...?

Right now thats nothing more then a pipe dream... as already mentioned by some. :p:

It has been demo'd in real time over two monitors showing the split object rendering .....so pipe dream my :p:

Stop jizzing your pants guys, it's just a PCIe switch, nothing more.

Hmm... if it's just a PCIe switch, nothing more, why did MSI decide to name their board "Big Bang"? :explode2:

Lucid Hydras main sponsor is Intel. Think again this company won't die that easily:up:

wheres larrabee :rolleyes:

The will support Larrabee when it's out, some time in 2015.

Actually, I think Intel is banking on Larrabee to be a success on the grounds that AMD and Nvidia will have gone bankrupt long before it is released thus ensuring it's market dominance.

Wait i thought hydra was the near perfect multicard SLI/CF scaling?

Is there any review or demo showing the use of this device with current hardware? No, not a tech demo but a performance demo.

it is the thing we should only be looking at near 100% scaling in multi gpu,, we shouldnt be looking at potentially mixing gpu's it may or may not happen ( i doubt it now as nvidia blocked it out there physx etc) but mayeb ati + intel etc.. we shall see....

but the thing is the new algathorim it uses to work out how to multi render and with that I hope it comes out trumps :D

AMD and Nvidia should welcome this with open arms.

Less driver issues, and better performance for the people?

Heh and I thought nobody believed in fairies any more! :)

Maybe I could use my GTX285 and 4870 together, or if the driver thing restricts it, my 8800GT.

yeah... my gtx285 and my old 8800 gts 640 would go well together.... too bad i wanna sell my 285

Only tantalum caps. Nice :D. Got tired of that polymer elcaps, which love to become shorts with overstress.. And burning FETs

they should I agree, I do believe Nvidia is shooting itself in the foot with the way they are about this multi gpu/sharing business it makes them look bad, although I think we can see where they come from, cos' if potential customers want a nvidia card (or 2) then nvidia get both sales,

I dont think they realise that the customer could get a 4870 now then a 5870 in a few months and use that instead :/ and this is why i think nvidia have shot thereselves down

But so GD80 and this BigBang are two different boards?? :confused:

Yes. This "Big Bang" should come on the second or third "wave" of LGA1156 motherboards.
