Virtu GPU Virtualization Software

Uncompromised Graphics and Video Performance Like Never Before

When you invest in a high-performance Entertainment PC, you shouldn't have to choose between media performance and 3D graphics realism. However, graphics technology found in an integrated GPU, an Intel Sandy Bridge CPU or on a discrete 3D graphics card have a variety of different, yet important, graphics, media, gaming and power saving benefits. In comes Virtu™, the first GPU virtualization software that makes it all accessible and eliminates the need to choose.


Virtu

With Virtu GPU virtualization software, PCs with 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ processor platforms will dynamically balance the advanced power-efficient, built-in media features of Intel Core processor graphics with the high-end, DirectX 11 3D, anti-aliasing and performance features of discrete GPUs.


Virtu Universal

Lucid takes Virtu to new platforms including All-in-One and Notebooks and to new performance heights! In addition to the integrated and discrete usability benefits of Virtu, experience faster 3D gaming frame rates, more responsiveness and crisp visual quality.

  • Unlimited frame rates – some as much as 120 FPS and beyond with in-game Vsync on

  • User-defined frame rate and visual quality selection

  • Flawless visual quality without tearing

  • Maximum responsiveness to mouse and keyboard

  • The infrastructure to support next-generation platforms


Virtu MVP
Designed for the next generation of Intel Sandy Bridge Z68/H67/H61 and other Intel integrated graphics as well as many AMD processor-based notebooks, all in one PCs and desktop motherboards, Virtu MVP has many of the same features as the popular Virtu software, but with a twist...

How Virtu GPU Virtualization Works
Lucid Virtu software is able to assign tasks in real time to the best available graphics resource based on power, performance and features considerations, with no need for additional hardware. If high end graphics power is needed for applications like DirectX 11, high-resolution 3D gaming, the system will assign the job to the discrete GPU. If not, the discrete GPU automatically goes into idle mode, while heat drops, fan speed slows down and GPU utilization goes down to zero, resulting in a green, power-efficient, long-lasting system.

 

 

 

 

GPU and DX Game Agnostics


Screen connected directly to Intel SNB

• Media performance with lower power
• Discrete GPU is idle


Once a game is invoked, it is assigned to the dGPU and displayed by SNB

• Automatic or user defined
• All DX9/10/11 games are supported
• Top games are always validated
