Lucid Logix Demos 3D Graphics Game Changer at IDF
Today Lucid has brought their new leading-edge technology to fruition on a motherboard built by MSI that employs their new chip and was up and running for all to see. Employing a mutli-GPU load-balancing algorithm called "Object Division Rendering" (GPUs tackle different objects on the same frame simultaneously), Lucid's Hydra engine intelligently optimizes workloads in system amongst all graphics processors, regardless of make or model. The demo we saw below didn't afford us the ability to check frame rates or see load balancing in action, but we'll take their word for it...
