Lucid Hydra on Smackover 2

[Decami]

Looking at how bad cf and sli works sometimes, and both are configurations with same brand cards, put together 1 ati and 1 nvidia will be madness.

indeed.

but i'm still puzzled about how the lucid chip will be able to handle the different cards and how they're accessed from within the os.

read more guys. How this works is it supports any cards, as many as can fit on the mother board supposedly that are supported by the same driver, so no ATI and Nvidia until hacked drivers from where ever can do that, the "one" driver has to support the cards used together.


Supposedly, what Lucid said, it will be "near" 100% scaling, so the card you add, will add as much performance (almost) as the performance it gives by itself.
If you dont know, SLI or Xfire, DOES NOT do this, not even close.


by the way, reading some of these posts, i never remember Lucid saying anything, ever, about mix matching companies, what i said above, is what they have said many times, in the demos, so I dont know where some of you guys are getting your stuff, maybe i havent seen it yet, or maybe its rumor.
