Lucid Hydra 200 Multi-GPU Performance Revealed

Some prototypes of the Lucid Hydra 200 Multi-GPU solution have been shipped to reviewers, and the results are promising for an early build unit.

After running Lucid’s test bed through an assortment of tests in several graphics configurations, we have a better idea on how well the Hydra 200 performs. Using the components available to us, we saw impressive scaling in most instances, which peaked at 85% in dual-GPU mode. The mixed ATI / NVIDIA combo ran pretty well and fell within the expected range of performance throughout testing.

It remains to be seen if Nvidia will allow something like this to exist in the market, they’ve previously stated their intent to intentionally disable it at the driver level.  If it comes to market, it shows huge potential tho.
