I don't think so! Putting the chip on the card wouldn't work because all of the data still wouldn't have a Direct link to the other or Second card. I'm not saying I know for sure the chip is like a Dongle but it is a very good possibility it is. Since the PCH doesn't factor in on this chip at all. The chip could help the link to the X-58 Chipset, it gets in the way of the Direct Link to Lynnfield.

Since I trashed nVidia, lets look at from a different side. What if the Chip proves to be the best option? What if its 10 to 15% faster running with the chip than without it?
