SLI, Crossfire obsolete?
Folk wrote:

So it's either a get new mobo with the included chips or add another drop in card. Didn't we just get rid of the PhysX card? Can't we devote a CPU multi-core to this? No matter how much a gain it might be, another generation of hardware negates them, Is Hydras II already in the works? |

SLI, Crossfire obsolete?
What HardOCP says about it:
"From what we can tell, a card would have to be built with Lucid's Hydra chip much like we see the PCIe bridge chip being used on "X2" ATI video cards. Or Lucid is saying you could build motherboards with a Lucid chip down on them as well. Still all guesses here at Lucid is being pretty vague about the whole thing and we have not seen it actually working." http://www.hardocp.com/news.html?new...VzaWFzdCwsLDE= Yeah, as if those cheap manufacturers will ever add a $20 chip onto a motherboard. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means. It can therefore be said that politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed." "Folk" wrote in message ... http://www.dailytech.com/Chipmaker+H...ticle12719.htm |
