Its one thing to have an extreme system by giving in to pay twice the money for a percentage more of the performance for SLI/Xfire, its another when its intolerable to play visually. Maybe some cant catch the microstutter, but i do, and sometimes even getting 15% more performance or less of a gain is just ridiculous to me. Not to mention not every single game supports it, but, thats none of this is the case with Hydra....so Lucid says, anyway.

If any of you would work for nVidia and have the final decision regarding this, you would most likely go ahead with blocking it with drivers too.
For the simple reason that it can completely destroy the reputation SLI has got because of buggy lucid drivers etc, same counts for AMD, they will probably do the same.
You've got no control over a third party that uses your technology properly (even though it's different tech), or even breaking it. nVidia has invested millions in SLI, and isn't going to let some newbie company destroy it's reputation. Anyone with a grain of business sense will agree to this, and would most likely come to the same conclusion if working for said company.
I agree (partially) with this guy :

Its just so beyond obvious to read nvidias pr play book, If people actually believe this kind of stuff, they are sheep led to slaughter.

was there some info on the net saying lucid were waiting for updated driver to allow cross vender support... ????? so the delay are probably that... anything other than that is retarded fanboy comment or assumption... unless they have insider info to share with us
People actually talk like this on forums I frequent. XS is by far the tamest and also has least foaming at the mouth type. hardforum has the worst sheeple spinning free pr for Nvidia that I've seen... but for me at least its why I love going there to mess with them.Quote:

FUD: Both MSI's Big Bang motherboards are real
You know you wanna click it! :D
Bottom line: Q1 2010.
Turning HYDRA on & off, is as simple as a mouse click. If it doesn't work for Nvidia products, you can simple turn it off..! :rolleyes:Quote:

ed. for real..?
@Decami: So you run a single low-end GPU because SLI and Xfire are crap? Yet you believe that this magical chip on which you have zero information will be more compatible and scale better because they said so. Did I miss Lucid's brainwashing?
One or two points were quite valid, hence I said I partially agreed with that post. :p:Quote:

Oh, btw before anyone shouts abuse at my posts, I'm 100% for Lucid and their Hydra chip, I think it's fantastic. My reasoning was that I can understand why nVidia would choose to disable it.

I can't wait to see the support model for this. When something's broke and it don't look good who you gonna call? Ghostbu....oh wait....:shakes:
hahah, sigged! :D :toast:Quote:

you guys, he was on a sarcasm overdose, he wasnt serious :D
makes it even funnier that some people actually agreed with what he said :lol:
well you seem to be a big fan of hydra you have any test to show us? or just all the hype that they shoveld us the last few yrs?Quote:

or just make us pay more for a mb that has this feature only to turn it off cus its broken.
Never said I fully agreed with his post, but there were one or two things that makes sense from nVidia's point of view, like I said he should work for nVidia PR. That is what I was saying, nothing more.Quote:

Another wide ranging vague timeline. As the saying goes, I'll believe it when... it's available to the general public.Quote:

Until I see a board on store shelves with the Hydra chip I won't believe it will make it to the market. It's simple economics and in this case Nvidia will be hurt by the Hydra chip coming to the market, at least in their eyes. If they could see beyond SLI they would realize that Hydra would actually help them sell more GPU's because it would broaden the upgrade path for a lot of people. No longer would they have to choose between waiting between generations to be able to afford an upgrade. They could keep their current GPU and get the new generation and still be able to benefit from the increase in GPU power. Currently, a lot of folks skip upgrading each generation due to costs and small amount of increase in performance, usually about 15% over previous generations. However, if you could keep your current GPU and add a new generation GPU and get a 50% or better performance increase then it might be worth it.Quote:

When will this question stop. Some of us want this to actually happen. Is that a bad thing? To be honest, your argument is nothing either if you dont think the chip is going to succeed, because you dont have proof that it wont. That question works both ways, if you wanna call it bull because you dont wanna get your hopes up then fine, but dont try to push that crap down my throat.
and why do you keep mentioning what I run. You have no clue what I run, not to mention it would make no difference in my opinions anyway.
I could be running on board graphics and it wouldnt change the basis of my opinions, and neither would it for you.
You know what I love... how your questioning Hydra and saying is theres no fact to back it up creating the complete argument around how to doubt something, yet, you look down at my sig, and take it for complete and utter fact, like you have been to my house, strange contradictions, I do say so myself.
No it's not a bad thing to want it to happen. Of course not. But if people go around making claims that it "will" happen while dissing the current solutions they should be prepared to get called on it and defend their opinion. It would also be easier if you could back up your faith with some technical reasoning. The people challenging Hydra are doing so on technical grounds, not because they hate progress or don't want a better solution.
The hardware you run is an indicator of whether you're in Lucid's target market. Multi-GPU is primarily a performance enhancing option. If you're happy with a single 8800gt then I don't see how Hydra's benefits would apply.
Well if you are still hanging on to your premise that hydra is technically impossible, then it doesn't matter if Charlie's article is right or wrong because the product will never materialize anyway. Is that still the case, that you think hydra is impossible to implement?Quote:
