3 Hardware installation 3.1 i-Mode i-Mode provides user with near zero performance overhead on 3D graphics games, Intel Sandy special features and power saving options when no 3D gaming is used. To use Lucid VIRTU solution in i-Mode, display must be always connected to Sandy Bridge motherboard video output. Note: Display can be also connected to IPG VGA output instead of IPG DVI output. 3.2 d-Mode d-Mode is provided for demanding 3D gamers to achieve uncompromised 3D performance of discrete GPU installed in the system. In this mode, Virtu allows user to utilize Intel special features such as trascoding, while display is connected to discrete GPU. Note: in most cases the differences of 3D performance between i-Mode and d-Mode are unnoticeable to the user, so it is recommended to use i-Mode to save power. To use Lucid VIRTU solution in d-Mode, display must be connected to discrete GPU installed in the system.

3.1 i-Mode
i-Mode
provides user with near zero performance overhead on 3D graphics games, Intel Sandy special features
and power saving options when no 3D gaming is used.
To use Lucid VIRTU solution in
i-Mode
, display must be always connected to Sandy Bridge motherboard video
output.
Note
: Display can be also connected to IPG VGA output instead of IPG DVI output.
