Vigile writes "Multi-GPU technology from both NVIDIA and ATI has long been dependent on many factors including specific motherboard chipsets and forcing gamers to buy similar GPUs within a single generation. A new company called Lucid is showing off an option that will potentially allow vastly different GPUs to work in tandem while still promising near linear scaling on up to four chips. The HYDRA Engine is dedicated silicon that actually dissects the DirectX and OpenGL calls and modifies them directly to be distributed amongst the available graphics processors. That means the aging GeForce 6800 GT card in your closet might be useful once again and the future of one motherboard supporting both AMD and NVIDIA multi-GPU configurations could be very near."
