Promised Platform-Independent GPU Tech Is Getting Real 102
Vigile writes "Last year a small company called Lucid promised us GPU scaling across multiple GPU generations with near-linear performance gains without restrictions of SLI or CrossFire. The company has been silent for some time, but now it is not only ready to demonstrate the 2nd generation hardware, but also to show the first retail product that will be available with HYDRA technology. In this article there is a quick look at the MSI 'Big Bang' motherboard that sports the P55 chipset and HYDRA chip and also shows some demos of AMD HD 4890 and NVIDIA GTX 260 graphics cards working together for game rendering. Truly platform-independent GPU scaling is nearly here and the flexibility it will offer gamers could be impressive."

It's a slippery slope though
1) You can't read the source code to your graphics driver.
2) ???
3) You are being herded into a gas chamber.

Nonsense. Graphics beat gameplay, remember? It would follow that throughput beats latency.
