Okay first off, we need to clear up some things. As you guys know MSI will release a motherboard with the Lucid HYDRA chip. After a chat with MSI I have just learned that this motherboard in fact is scheduled for Q1 2010, and not next month as initially expected and rumored.

I also need to make a correction, we mentioned that the Fuzion motherboard would be an X58 motherboard with the Hydra chip, that is not correct.

MSI Big Bang motherboards:

• MSI P55 GD80 Fuzion = with the Lucid Hydra chip -- this motherboard has been delayed to Q1 2010.
• MSI P55 GD80 Trinergy = with the NVIDIA NF200 chip (adds additional PCIe lanes to the motherboard) and thus is likely tri-SLI ready.

We hope that clears up some stuff, and what a bummer that the Hydra based motherboards have been delayed and again .. only P55 motherboards will get either an NF200 or Lucid Hydra ASIC.

Tomorrow we'll have some more info about the Big Bang gaming series motherboards.
