Putting it simply, Lucid’s goal with its HYDRA technology is to “build a completely GPU-independent graphics scaling technology” which enables two completely different cards to work together in harmony with “little to no software overhead.” Let that sink in a minute. Now that a puzzled look has surely overtaken your face, we’d strongly recommend hitting the read link for a (very) detailed look at the technology, an explanation of how it works and even a few hard hitting questions addressed to the company. We’re trying to stifle our excitement here, but are hopes are escalating quickly.

Get ready to burn through your allowance, kids, as AMD is getting set to loose its Catalyst 8.3 drivers for all to indulge in. What does the download net you, exactly? Why, CrossFireX support, of course. Starting today, users can link up any combination of RV670- and R680-based products — that includes the Radeon HD 3850, Radeon HD 3870 and Radeon HD 3870 X2 — in order to acquire triple- and quad-GPU performance within Windows Vista. Additionally, the drivers also introduce ATI Hybrid Graphics support in Vista, which was boasted about already when the firm unveiled its upcoming 780G chipset. Check out the read link for the full list of changes, and keep an eye on the firm’s support page for v8.3 to surface any moment now.

Sure, SLI technology is fine and dandy, but ATI’s hoping to remove some of the restrictions found on current multi-GPU setups with its forthcoming CrossFire X technology. As we’ve seen before, the idea here is to “take two, three or four GPUs and use their power to render one game faster than you otherwise would be able.” Over at PC Perspective, those kind folks were able to pick AMD’s brain on the topic, and aside from getting confirmation that CrossFire X “supports multi-GPU configurations of any combination of RV670- and R680-based products,” we also found that a public release was just weeks away. Better still, there’s a full report detailing the results of putting the technology to the test, and yes, initial impressions do seem quite positive. Hit the read link for the full spill, cool?
[Thanks, sizewise]
