MSI Unleashes Hydra-Equipped Big Bang-Fuzion Motherboard
As some of you certainly remember, we’ve talked quite a few times about the HYDRA 200 chip, which allowed users to combine ATI and NVIDIA GPUs on a motherboard equipped with the respective component. Plus, we’ve also told you that MSI was one of the first motherboard manufacturers to roll out a mobo featuring this Hydra chip, namely the Big Bang model.
And for CES, MSI unveiled the second Big-Bang branded motherboard, the Big Bang-Fuzion, which, similar to its predecessor, offers gamers an enhanced level of versatility, as it permits them to install cross-vender GPU in a single system. Plus, according to MIS, this technology can “perform scalable rendering by load-balancing graphics processing tasks” and is also capable of delivering “near-linear gaming performance upgrade to break through the performance barrier with two or more graphics cards.”
Since this solution is clearly targeting gamers and enthusiasts, it also packs the Quantum Wave audio solution, which provides good audio, either when gaming or playing music through external speakers or headsets. Also, with the Creative EAX Advanced HD 5.0 and THX TruStudio PC audio tech, Big Bang-Fuzion pushes ahead the surround and HD experiences one might enjoy.
Big Bang-Fuzion also comes equipped with external OC Dashboard, V-Kit, and built-in chip-driven OC Genie auto overclocking technology for overclocking enthusiasts. It packs MSI’s exclusive DrMOS power supply modules and SuperPipe cooling technology, in order to allow users to easily and safely overclock it, pushing the boundaries of their desktop systems even further.
Luckily, people who are ready and willing to test MSI’s new motherboard for themselves should have no problems doing so, since the Big Bang-Fuzion Hydra-equipped motherboard is scheduled to become available in stores in mid-January 2010. Unfortunately, no pricing details have been yet provided, but we’ll find that out as well in a couple of days’ time.
