    # X-Mode (dual mixture of NVIDIA and ATI graphic cards)
    3DMark Vantage
    3DMark06
    Batman Arkham Asylum (including benchmark)
    Call of Duty 4
    Call of Duty World At War
    F.E.A.R. 2 Project Origin
    Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising

    Aaaaa, this list is tooo small IMHO hope they increase the number of games. I was thinking a combo of GTX275 with 4870 would be interesting to see but it appears that limited no of games support such a combo.

    The ATi+Ati or Nvidia + Nvidia list is quite healthy now we just need this vs Crossfire and Sli charts. The other thing i did not like much was the fact you need Win 7 for the Ati + Nvidia combo and XP is not supported at all but then again its more of Microsoft's fault than these guys.
    Coming Soon

    Clearly a product that still needs quite a bit of work.

    It's the chip which controls IO.
    Here, I think it's a Fintek chip but sometimes, it's a VIA chip.

    Great. So instead on depending on Crossfire/SLI-drivers we now depend on Hydra-drivers This doesn't improve dual-setups a bit, only makes it worse imho.
    Notice any grammar or spelling mistakes? Feel free to correct me! Thanks

    So it is even worse than some feared...

    Exactly what can Hydra do the others cant?

    SLI / Crossfire not scaling properly? It has already been shown that Hydra is not perfect for that.

    SLI / Crossfire requiring constant driver updates to even work with games? Hydra will require them as well.

    Run a ATI and a Nvidia card at the same time? Just buy a 5xx0 series card and you don't need two...

    not very impresive yet but I still have allot of faith in the tech. Give it some time, Im sure it will get much better.
    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    Nor is it the unicorn a bunch of other people thought it was.

    Apparently the magical thinking from both sides didn't pan out. It turns out it is just another imperfect product that has to compete with a market full of other imperfect products.

    Important
    If you use NVIDIA + ATI GPUs combination, it is recommanded installing the NVIDIA graphic card to the first PCI-E x16 slot.
    Hmm.. Interesting...

    Great so now we can get Crap drivers from Nvidia, ATI, and Hydra. I remember when you could actually play your games and they all looked good for the technology at the time. Now its like we have 2009 hardware with 2004 drivers.
    i3 2100, MSI H61M-E33. 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws.
    MSI GTX 460 Twin Frozr II. 1TB Caviar Blue.
    Corsair HX 620, CM 690, Win 7 Ultimate 64bit.

    i love how alot of you are judging brand new tech from a start up company (and the tech isnt out in retail yet) compaired to a very mature sli/xfire from giant corporations with more money than they know what to do with. instead of bashing them off the bat at least wait a year before you judge them. if any of you ever want to do some research find a review of sli when it was first introduced. it wont be pretty

    They are finishing the dx11 drivers. It seems the dx 10.1 drivers took longer than they though, so dx11 is running late!

    No point in releasing a Win 7, mobo without it. Thus the delay.



    So, I suspect until that's done (Windows7 sticker + MSI big bang compliance), some time around summer, Lucid's engineers are hurriedly writing drivers for the most popular games in the mean time?, so the HYDRA supports them right away..? er..? possible?

    Probably because of the ATI card blocking, that way PhysX and the whole thing works...
