This sounds great :D

I've always wanted to have both a radeon and a geforce gpu in the same PC.

I wonder how AMD and Nvidia will react to this though? And what the performance penalty be...

That is really cool! The thought of being able to using Radeon and GeForce concurrently... mindblown.gif

Sounds great! Perhaps DirectX 12 alone will be reason enough to upgrade to Windows 10.

What does "unspoken API" mean? Does unspoken mean he didn't mention it by name or that it hasn't been mentioned by anyone? Also, I have an issue with this because cards in the same company can't even cross fire with each other so as great as it sounds, I absolutely need more confirmation. This would allow you to combine stock GPU with discrete and that would be cool.
