MSI went back to the drawing board, came up with a new concept called the Big-Bang series motherboards. Today we take a peek at the MSI P55 GD80 Big bang Trinergy -- with the Tri for triple lovin' on top of the regular GD80 functions, yes it makes the mainboard 3-way SLI compatible. Next to all the cool features the board already offers MSI added a few more extra's next to the fantastic design, V-Kit control, the mystical finger touch buttons. With the Trinergy MSI adds.......

The Oc genie is good for people who are new to overclocking...
This is nice, but it is just the appetizer.

MSI P55 GD80 Fuzion = with the Lucid Hydra chip -- this motherboard has been delayed to Q1 2010.
MSI P55 GD80 Trinergy = with NVIDIA NF200 chip (adds additional PCIe lanes to the motherboard) and thus is likely tri-SLI ready.

^^this
The board is pretty boring without Lucid.
:swearing:

i only clicked on this thread because I though it was the first commercially available hydra board.

now i'm just bored.

/thread
This is a really good board on it's own guys. The build quality of the board is top notch. The type of a capacitors they use are supposedly self repairing. Weird stuff. Sure the lucid hydra version is what everybody is waiting for but as a true 3 way sli/crossfire board with top notch features it's really nice. I hope the lucid hydra will be as top notch build quality as this. Also hopefully not more than $350 - $400 also.

Also in the future if you see a topic about a tringery board, note that it's not the lucid hydra. Fuzion is the lucid hydra name.
Even if fuzion provides 85% scaling across the same vendor it will be 100% worth it in my books.
I was looking forward to Lucid. It would allow me to still use my 9800GTX+'s

I was hoping USB 3.0 would be on this board, but MSI said they didn't plan to jump on the wagon :'(

well why bother? What device could you possibly use that needs USB 3.0 bandwidth, and furthermore, how many devices are there using USB 3.0?

Just about anything maxes out 60MB/s of USB2.0 (In a best case scenario)...

And there's a few USB 3.0 things coming out, granted, we don't have them here in Aus.

Hydra was going to make this a kick-ass product . . .

well what devices do you use on USB? Mouse, keyboard, flash drive, printer... what could possibly need that much bandwidth?

Flash Drives, External Hard Drives, anything that you put files on can put them on much faster...

I highly doubt there is a flash drive in existence which can do >60MB/s. Most do 5-15MB/s. As for external hard drives, that's what eSATA was invented for

Yes, no single flash drive can max out 60MB/s, but USB is like PCI, the bandwidth is shared. Read this.

And besides, USB3.0 can transfer 100MB/s more than eSATA can.
