Lucid Hydra Reviewed! *Leave All Hopes and Dreams Behind*

Review

So to summarise the article,,,,it is ****! In pretty much every situation SLI/X-Fire offers better performance gains. Oh well, it sounded good at least.

That Mobo looks incredible is it DDR3 duel channel

hmmmm 3 pcie ports i smell awsum gaming plus the 6x sata ports would give us huge space on raid

its working on mine whats it doing on yoursoclane

On-Topic: A problem I see with Hydra now is that the devs(Hydra Devs, not game devs) have to make very specific profiles for each game. Which will be a painstakingly slow and expensive process.

If you look at the Guru3D review of the board though it does show excellent promise. The 4770 + 9800 GTX+ combo looked the best IMO. With those two cards is almost getting both cards FPS in single mode combined when working in tandem(Yes I know it was like 40-60%, but it was still awesome).

Yea saw it on Anandtech yesterday, very disappointing indeed. Hopefully it can gain some ground with the next driver update, but even then the shoddy list of supported games and the crashing reported by Anand in those games, it's looking very bleak. With a review like that no ones going to be buying this, and there goes any support for driver updates. Good idea, poorly executed thus far.

Look at the Anand review, they did a higher res and CF/SLI blows Hydra away.

you guys got to remember this is only the beginning. i am pretty sure overtime the tech is gonna get much better (it is so bad i dont think it can get worse)
