MSI P55 The Big Bang - Lucid Hydra Inside - ATI Work With nVidia???

During the last week we have seen many new P55 based motherboards, among them the new line of MSI , and today , IOPANEL.NET gives you an exclusive look at the "Hidden" member of MSI product line - The Big Bang, which is a P55 motherboard with Lucid Hydra chip - which should enable the operation of NVIDIA and ATI based video cards on the same motherboard.

Who Is Lucid ?

Lucid is an israeli company, located at Kfar-Neter, which is developing the Hydra Chip, which is a Chip that should enable the use of NVIDIA and ATI video cards on the same motherboard.the company holds some cooperation agreements with some of the biggest players in hardware industry, and the motherboard that we preview today is one of the first products of this cooperations.

The Lucid Hydra chip, as mentioned before should enable the use of 2 different video cards together on the same motherboard. We have been told in the past that there will be different versions of the chip - one will enable the usage of video cards like HD4870 along with a HD4650 for example , another version will enable the usage of NVIDIA based video cards together - like a GTX260 together with 9600GT for example, and of course one version will enable a mix of video cards -ATI video card together with a Nvidia video card on the same motherboard. The Hydra chip is responsible for the Balance and link between the different
video cards.

The Big Bang -

MSI P55 "The Big Bang" is a P55 based motherboard, which hosts the Lucid Hydra chip that will replace the nf200 chip. As you can see in our photos, the Hydra Chip is located between the CPU socket and the first/Upper PCI-Express Slot. As for now we can't tell which one of the versions of the Hydra is placed on the motherboard, and how it performs, but a source inside one of the companies told us that the Hydra Chip is working as planned.

ATI + nVidia possible ???

This is great news man But does it mean if we want to run ATI and NV on the same board we'd have to install both NV and Catalyst drivers?

I'd think Nvidia + Ati would work, since it's integration at the hardware level. But the price for the motherboard is rather mind boggling

You mean to say that I could choose either driver for the matchup? Interesting

I'm just speculating based on what I've read.

Newegg p55 motherboard Launch Price
Note: Asus Maximus III launch price for $250. You can check the prices at the bottom of lowyat forum.

The higher end the part goes, the higher delta between the price there and here. This is so newbie of me, but was the price delta always this much or is it really because the thing hasn't launch that prices in Garage Sales doesn't look that inviting?

And

Whine: I so wish I live there

ahhh good price comparing to i7 920..at least if this is faster a little bit from i7 920 also the price paying is still expensive then current 920 chip itself.

Hmm.. that's why I suggest ppl to wait a little longer.
Those in our garage sales are too overpriced!
Asus R2E x58 only RM13XX.

estimate it will took how long for the i7-860 to drop price till RM900 price leh.
can't wait but too expensive la -.-

more than 1 year i guess...since the day the i7 is out i still did not see the 920 price drop and is still around 1k

i7 price dropped already now...

Based on the RRP, the Core i7 860 SHOULD be the same price as the Core i7 920, but you know, new product and stuff.

Overall it'll still be slightly cheaper to build an i7 860 system compared to an i7 920 cos of the mobo and ram costs.

Yup planning to build a rig using that proc once the radeon 5000 series is out.

Same2. But I will stick with 1366 for this moment...
Really dont like the price of 1156 procs.
