[/img]It's baaack. We've gone well over half a year without hearing a
peep from black magic makers LucidLogix, but here on the doorstep of
CES 2011, the company has resurfaced just in time to ride on the
coattails of Intel's forthcoming Sandy Bridge platform. Sandy is
expected to take over CES when companies start to introduce new PCs in
just a few days, and thanks to Lucid's virtualization software, we
wouldn't be surprised if a few are served with NVIDIA and AMD GPUs.
This here technology enables the two to play nice, making the
outlandish fantasy of using a multi-GPU, multi-vendor setup a reality.
DirectX 11 is also supported, with the only real requirement being to
"connect the display screen directly to the motherboard's Sandy Bridge
display output." We'll be taking a closer look at the peacemaker once
we land in Vegas, but for now, go ahead and prepare yourself for a
beta version of 'Virtu' -- it'll hit at some point next month.
