    We'll see how long it takes for NVidia to figure out how to break this "feature"....

    NVidia didn't like it when LucidLogix tried to do this years ago with their "Hydra technology".....so I'd be surprised if they suddenly support this idea now.

    Probably a week, and the following driver after dx12 release. Don't count on this mix happening any way.

    I see alot of driver conflicts in this.

    Mixing ati and nvidia drivers = um, probably not going to meld that good.

    When installing drivers in this configuration, how this going to work so each card get its own driver properly installed?

    This is going to be very interesting, I know lucid something, forgot it was called, was doing something similar to this what several years ago.

    LucidLogix was the company, Hydra was the name of the "technology".... It was a hardware+software "solution"....

    Pretty sure it would be broken from the get go as seeing they do know if it would be possible beforehand.

    Now the News looks intresting but forget it use a nvida and amd gpu side by side.

    practical application possibilities:

    Use the APU power of Intel or AMD for complex calculation like K.I or dynamic grass, trees, scrup or water.

    bypass CPU limitation with APU Unit.

    The point is to use two different cards with different strengths.

    If this would let me utilize the iGPU I would be happy.

    Lucid Virtu did..... It appears to be unsupported now though. May 1, 2014 was the last update. Virtu could have been great, if AMD and NVidia had ever bothered to work with Lucid on it...

    Don't even remind me of Lucid Virtu. I hate that 'what if' story. During that 0.5% of the time it actually worked it was amazing. Such a missed opportunity.

    I bet that they won't with MS on it either.
    Hopefully MS just opens up for it in the way that the end users decides and not the guys who design graphic cards and develop drivers.
    Cause we all know what happens if AMD and NVidia get to decide.

    the Virtual Vsync was awesome from Lucid, but other option of Lucid Software doesn't work for me.
