If Lucid's Hydra 100 actually will work the way they say it works then its going to change a lot.

You will be able to buy 2 low-mid range card and improve performance X2. That would be insane
I wonder what this would mean for high end GPU's, they'll have to make unique features other than performance benefit to draw the crowd...

I have doubt it works "as advertised" though.

On topic: great scale for i7. Need only to drop prices on these and i'm sold.

Another interesting article...for me,the benefits of tri-sli really seem to be very slim,but this is pretty much common knowledge,and the only games which should theoretically benefit from 3 280's,such as crysis 1 and 2 are such monstrous hardware hogs(you really have to wonder when,with a ludicrously powerful setup consisting of the fastest cpu currently available and 3 of the fastest single gpu card solutions currently available in cohort,you are plumming the absolute depths of fps at maximum resolution,with only 2x fsaa and dx9) that you're simply better off waiting for a couple of yrs if you wish to be able to even attempt to max them out.
im still pinning my hopes on Lucid's hydra 100 though lol.
