lucid-hydraBoth NVidia and MSI have responded to recent rumors that MSI delayed their Hydra-powered motherboard, the Fuzion, due to guidance from NVidia and rumors that NVidia plans to disable Hydra at the driver level.  They claim they fully support the Hydra product, and it’s just regular product delays getting in the way.

The second product in our Big Bang line will be the MSI Fuzion motherboard featuring Lucid Hydra technology. Although we had planned to release this product by now, we decided to postpone it until early next year to make sure it delivers the best possible experience for our customers. We are continuing to work closely with Lucid to bring this exciting product to market.

We want to be clear that the reason for the delay has to do with software, and not external pressure from others. NVIDIA did not delay or impede the production of Fuzion in any way.
