The first details are beginning to emerage about ATI ’s ‘ Multi Video Processing ’ ( MVP ) system of rules , contrive to harness the power of two video cards to submit 3D graphic , much like Nvidia ’s be SLI system . Nvidia ’s organization split the deliver duties ( close to ) across the midriff , give the top one-half to one identity card and the bottom half to another , then pasting the range of a function together before it hits your screenland . ATI ’s system , on the other handwriting , will go against the look-alike up into tiles , then grout them all together before they hit your screen ( as The Reg prompt us , that ’s not an wholly new illusion , having been used in the PowerVR ironware that power the Dreamcast , for instance ) .
Even better , though , is news that the ATI system will be capable to utilize any given ATI card as the petty , not just matched pairs as in Nvidia ’s system . That ’s coolheaded — it means you could bribe a fancy raw ATI card today , then plug in the older ATI card you had sitting around for a little speed bump ( if you have the slot in your motherboard , of course of study ) .
in reality , read again , it looks like Hexus broke this fib / rumor , so we should relate them , too .
