@ 2010/06/09When we benchmarked it last year, MSI's original Big Bang Fuzion motherboard left us with mixed feelings. The board and the integrated Lucid Hydra GPU load balancer worked as advertised, but Hydra multi-GPU performance left a little to be desired.
At Computex last week, MSI blamed Lucid for pushing to get a product out despite the immature status of its drivers, and it says much has improved since then. Purportedly, Hydra configs running the latest drivers now outperform native AMD CrossFire multi-GPU setups by 6-8%, and Lucid has added support for DirectX 11 and Nvidia's new GeForce GTX 400-series graphics cards.
