MSI Unveils Fuzion Series Mainboards for Mainstream

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 06/30/2010 10:21 AM | source: | 0 comment(s)

MSI released two new motherboards with the Lucid Hydra chip. We discussed Hydra many many times now and after reviewing it, well .. we just feel that the chip doesn't bring in any extra's, it's complicated, the scaling is not top notch, there's massive driver dependancy, no configurable profiles weird configure modes.

Yeah .. ok .. we don't seem to like Hydra as it makes your motherboard more expensive as well.

Anyway, MSI introduces its mainstream Fuzion Series mainboards; the P55A Fuzion for the Intel platform and 870A Fuzion for the AMD platform. The boards feature the same integration of military class materials.  ?@

Allowing users to experience the performance upgrade and convenience of multiple graphics cards, MSI Fuzion series mainboards come with Lucidlogix's Lucid LT22102 processor and exclusive graphics card Fuzion Technology that enables parallel processing of multiple cross-brand, asymmetrical GPUs. In A-Mode and N-Mode, when coupled with dual PCI-E ?~16 Gen2 expansion slots, they provide parallel operating capabilities for any two ATI or two NVIDIA graphics cards, while still supporting ATI's or NVIDIA's own unique technologies, letting you effortlessly enjoy the sensation of accelerated gaming!

In addition, with the exclusive X-Mode, you can buy any brand or class of new graphics card to do multi-GPU processing with the existing graphics card in your PC to get higher performance with lower cost. It will be more economic and green than just buy a new high-end graphic card and throw away the old one. At the same time, it can take the primary graphics card as the benchmark (the graphics card installed in the first PCI-E x 16 expansion slot) and support exclusive NVIDIA or ATI technologies while possessing multiple display output capabilities.

You can read up on our experiences with Hydra chips in this review.
