Multi-GPU with different cards, no game profiles required.
Lucid's Hydra is a new technology that has been making the rounds of the internet for a while now. The chip is touted as allowing for different graphics cards to be used in multi GPU settings, while scaling even better than today's solutions. Different, in this sense, means one from AMD, one from Nvidia, one 4670 and one 4890, etc.
Lucid has not yet fully detailed how they can achieve this kind of performance scaling and card mixing but Intel is one of the funding entities of this Israelit company - the fact that a retail, consumer product is implementing the chip should mean the technology is getting ready for mass adoption. Supposedly, the chip can split work at the rendering primitives level, but not much else is known.
This P55 motherboard, nicknamed "Big Bang", will feature support of up to three graphics cards via three x16 PCIe slots but the lane configuration wasn't disclosed.
