MSI Big Bang Fuzion: Pulling The Covers Off Of Lucid’s Hydra Tech

Benchmark Results: Crysis

Another title not on Lucid’s list, Crysis couldn’t be manually added without crashing, so it’s at least good to see the technology rendering to a single card as we’d expect it to in this situation.

The proof is in a simple comparison to the baseline Radeon HD 5870 scores, which match the X- and A-mode results. Apply anti-aliasing, though, and the CrossFire’d configuration starts to stand apart in a more noticeable way.

N-mode, where the GeForce GTX 285 is the primary adapter, is naturally going to be slower than a pair of 285s in SLI when no game profile is available to Lucid’s Hydra engine.
