AnandTech: Lucid Hydra 100 - Enabling SLI/CrossFire on Any Platform

the above news really made nVidia do something nice:

AnandTech: Hell Freezes Over: NVIDIA Announces Native SLI Support for the Intel X58 Chipset
(Yeah!!! SLi on Nehalem)

if this would push through then maybe in a few months from now they could even make a solution that you could link two different cards. example: nVidia's 9800GTX link with ATI's 4870. waaahhh... i could only imagine this thing happening...

i'm more excited on the theoretical scaling of the technology. but hey, linking a 9800GX2 with an HD4870X2 would be a cool idea.

Why would you want to do that?

to see the look on ATi and nVidia's faces when their solutions get smoked by a small company. the idea feels kinda exotic.

damn right. and also there programs that can be processed by nVidia card better rather than ATI, same is true with ATI there also programs that they can process better than nVidia. so if they can make this technology analyze the data first before passing it to which card that could process the best then the end user or us consumers will surely benefit from it. the best gaming experience ever... hehehehe...
