LT22104 - UNITY 32 lanes PCIe Gen 2.0 SoC
The LT22104 SoC is an affordable, brand-agnostic multi-GPU solution for PCIe Gen2 motherboards and add in cards. The device incorporates 32 x 5 Gbps SERDES lanes, a full PCI-Express switch with one x16 upstream port and two x8 or one x16 downstream ports and an embedded end point. The upstream port is typically connected to the system's chipset north bridge or directly to the Host CPU and the two downstream ports are connected to up to two GPUs of any vendor. The embedded end point incorporates a RISC processor and DMA engines used by Lucid's proprietary algorithms.
The LT22104 connects seamlessly to any vendor's chipset or CPU that comprises a Root Complex, and to any vendor's GPU. It is fully compliant with Microsoft Vista, Win7 OS and DirectX9c, DirectX 10.1 and DirectX 11 standard APIs. Together with the unique HydraLogix driver, the LT22104 provides an adaptive and dynamic, parallel graphics load-balancing scheme, which resolves bottlenecks in the system and optimizes the usage of GPU resources with minimal power consumption.
Benefits and Advantages of LT22104 in UNITY Architecture
-
Allows user to add HydraLogix multi-GPU graphics boards to non Multi-GPU motherboards
-
Allows to mix multiple NVIDIA and/or ATI GPUs on any motherboard
-
Upgrades system performance simply by leveraging any existing graphics cards GPUs (up to two) and couple them with a new Unity based VGA
-
Combines existing low cost graphics card with another more advanced graphics card for performance boost
