“Last year Lucidlogix came to us with a rather amazing claim: we can do multi-GPU better than the guys who make the video cards in the first place. Through their Hydra technology, Lucid could intercept OpenGL and DirectX API calls, redistribute objects to multiple video cards, and then combine the results in to a single video frame. This could be done with dissimilar cards from the same company, even different companies altogether. It would be multi-GPU rendering, but not as you currently know it.”Here are some more Graphics Card articles from around the web:

A shining and bright look at the new multi-GPU option
We have been waiting with baited breath for the arrival of a LucidLogix Hydra board that is freely tested and reported on and now thanks to AnandTech we do. The MSI Big Bang Fuzion is ready for launch and it seems that the delay was unquestionably necessary. The performance numbers are not awful, but neither do they beat the native multiGPU solutions from nVIDIA and AMD. There were also issues with games that were on the supported list, something that is never endearing to a consumer. Drop by for a preliminary look at the performance and keep your eyes open for driver updates.
