This gives PC users greater flexibility, and enables vastly increased performance, free of compatibility limitations.The new version will still be based on AMD's 890fx chipset, but the most notable addition will be the Lucid Hydra, the controversial third-party multi-GPU chip. The Hydra aims to allow you to mix-and-match Nvidia and ATI graphics cards, free from the constrictions of SLI and CrossFire. So far MSI has been the only motherboard manufacturer to take the plunge, with its Big Bang board, but Asus now appears ready to taken the plunge.<img src="http://images.bit-tech.net/news_images/2010/05/asus-crosshair-iv-to-use-lucid-hydra/lucidhydras.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/video/hydra/HydraDriver.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/video/hydra/HydraPysical.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/tradeshows/2009/IDF/lucid/2x16block.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Our sources in Taiwan tell us that its primary motivation is not actually the mix-and-match aspect of the Hydra, but to bring Nvidia's SLI technology back to AMD systems. With Nvidia's latest Fermi architecture and AMD's 6-core CPUs now released, Asus feels the time is ripe to invest its efforts in the brand monster that is SLI, although it will have to do this without Nvidia's official support. While SLI is Asus' focus, the Hydra's ability to allow mixed Nvidia and ATI cards to work together will still be present for those willing to try it.The Crosshair IV Extreme also has a tweaked layout with an extra PCI-E slot the Hydra adds, but that's not all because you can even switch the lanes on or off to check if the graphics cards are all working. That said, actually pulling the cards out does the same thing, and using the switches to customise the lane layout would be far more useful.<img src="http://www.asus.com/websites/Global/products/lt1ShF6xEn3rlLe7/HSq8pqnCFVAWhh4p_500.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.asus.com/websites/Global/products/lt1ShF6xEn3rlLe7/yS6CYGQfnhJgIvD6_500.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.pcper.com/images/reviews/815/02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://techreport.com/r.x/hydra-preview/mixed-cards.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://techreport.com/r.x/hydra-preview/devmanager-mixed.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://techreport.com/r.x/hydra-preview/mixed-mode-indicator.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://techreport.com/r.x/hydra-preview/ofdr.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://techreport.com/r.x/hydra-preview/fear2.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://techreport.com/r.x/hydra-preview/stormrise.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://techreport.com/r.x/hydra-preview/coj.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><a href="http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=lt1ShF6xEn3rlLe7&templete=2" target="_blank">http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=lt1ShF6xEn3rlLe7&templete=2</a><a href="http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2010/05/12/asus-crosshair-iv-to-use-lucid-hydra/1" target="_blank">http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2010/05/12/asus-crosshair-iv-to-use-lucid-hydra/1</a>[YOUTUBE]wnJAUmlgBIo[/YOUTUBE]<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/cool.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" />comments anyone? <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/rolleyes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Rolleyes    :rolleyes:" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /></blockquote>
