In other words, buy our additional piece of hardware (and the drivers
that go with it) to make your SLI or Crossfire configuration more
efficient and thusly perform more to expectations.

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?

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."

Yeah, as if those cheap manufacturers will ever add a $20 chip onto a
motherboard.
