Lucid to provide hybrid GPU solutions

An Israel based company is claiming to provide a solution that will enable users to fit in both NVIDIA and ATI graphics cards at the same time in their motherboards and benefit from increased performance. They also claim that the performance achieved will be much higher than normal SLi and Crossfire solutions.

"The real-time distributed processing engine, called HYDRA™, offers a groundbreaking approach to scaling 3D graphics performance in a multi-GPU environment. Outlined for the first time on the new Lucid Web site at www.lucidlogix.com, the novel technology is the industry’s first to work with any GPU, any CPU or chipset and on any application that gamers and professionals may choose...
The HYDRA engine combines a system-on-chip with exclusive software technologies that efficiently load-balances graphics processing tasks, delivering another industry breakthrough:  near-linear to above-linear performance with two, three or more graphics cards. All together, the technology means people will be able to customize and tweak their PC to achieve the price, performance and power balance they want – whether it is a mainstream system or a high-performance gaming package."

If all their claims are true, this can result in fantastic performance for the end users! Can't wait!
