If you’re wondering why the highly-anticipated MSI Big Bang Trinergy motherboard turned out to be using NVIDIA’s nForce 200 SLI chip, with no sign of the Lucid Hydra 200 chip as it promised, the answer is simple - NVIDIA does not like it. Considering the product would impact NVIDIA’s profit coming from SLI fee, the green giant decides that it’s time to do something. Firstly, they will break support for Lucid’s chip at the driver part, and by unknown means force MSI to postpone their “Big Bang” motherboard. Though MSI claims the Big Bang Fusion powered by Hydra engine will be released by the end of 2009, we don’t think so, exactly. The site Overclock3D believes the board will be delayed to early next year, or even be killed finally. A site visitor said it best so I qoute "Aramid Says: Ooh geez, why Nvidia? I will say that NVIDIA IS NOW FAIL. NVIDIFAIL." "They don’t push DX10.1 and DX11, they block antialiasing for the Batman game for ATI users, they block Physx for ATI users, even for Ageia card users (the origin of Physx), bad performing Physx!!!, they re-use chips from 8000 series all the way to 200 series (several generations!), they STILL USE GDDR3, oversized heatmaking chips, failing chips for notebooks from Dell, Apple, Sony, HP, etc., etc etc, and now this, blocking Hydra, something I was looking forward to since it’s introduction. NVIDIFAIL"
