MSI got a lot of attention when it revealed plans for a motherboard sporting Lucid's Hydra graphics bridge. Lucid Hydra enables consumers to mix multiple graphics cards, independently of models or manufacturer to improve rendering performance in games. All without the need for proprietary technology like SLI or CrossFire. MSI has launched the first boards of the Big Bang series but the Lucid model could not be found. Rumors surfaced that NVIDIA was behind the matter and that the card would be scrapped, something very reliable sources deny.

MSI will launch two boards apart of the Big Bang series where the first model called Trinergy will launch without Lucid Hydra Engine 200. This board instead hosts NVIDIA's NF200 bridge chip, which just adds extra PCI Express lanes for Tri-SLI support with P55.
