It never lived up to expectations, performance varied wildly from scaling nearly perfectly to actually degrading performance, with mostly just providing small performance gains. Also, it depended heavily on drivers being made specific for each card setup for each game, so it never really took off. From what I see, Asus only included so that AMD users can officially SLI on an AM3 platform; this was before the 9xx got SLI certification.
hydra does work, just never got to be as good as two crossfire or SLI cards for lack of support.
problem is people didn't buy it, so it ends with lack luster support.
They're the same hypocrites, who said it would be
awesome to use and would buy it. Those type of
people never bought it.
They now do it by software, on a select motherboards
Moral here is if you going want support for it get more people to buy it. That's basically how they're paying their staff.
