MSI has just launched the 870A Fuzion Power Edition, a socket AM3 motherboard equipped with a Hydra 200 chip, which allows you to install video cards from AMD and NVIDIA at the same time to work in parallel, in a kind of SLI/CrossFireX mode. This motherboard also breaks the limitation that SLI has to only allow video cards using the same graphics chip, allowing you to install two NVIDIA-based video cards that are based on completely different GPUs.
This new MSI motherboard is based on AMD 870 + SB850 chipset, has four DDR3-1600 memory slots, two PCI Express x16 slots, three PCI Express x1 slots, one PCI slot, six SATA-600 ports, one USB 3.0 port, one FireWire port, Gigabit Ethernet, 8-channel audio, and a 12-phase voltage regulator circuit. The price of this new motherboard has not been announced yet.
