Virtu MVP™

LucidLogix

®

Virtu MVP featuring HyperFormance™ Technology boosts

your discrete graphics card up to 60% beyond its original performance.

Designed for Intel

®

processor graphics and Windows

®

7 PCs, it perfectly

combines the performance of discrete graphics cards with fast computing

iGPU. Also with the newly designed Virtual Sync, users can enjoy a

smoother gaming experience by eliminating tearing artifacts. LucidLogix

®

Virtu MVP could also dynamically assign tasks to the best available

graphics resource, based on power, performance and system load. This

allows users to fully utilize 3x faster video conversion with Intel

®

Quick

Sync Video 2.0 technology while retaining high-end 3D rendering and

gaming performance, provided by both NVIDIA

®

and AMD graphic cards.

When the discrete graphics card is not required, power consumption

goes automatically down to near zero, making the system more

environmentally-friendly. For users searching for perfection, LucidLogix

Virtu MVP provides great graphical performance and the best flexibility

and efficiency.

C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)

The BIOS C.P.R. feature automatically restores the CPU default settings

when the system hangs due to overclocking failure. C.P.R. eliminates the

need to open the system chassis and clear the RTC data. Simply shut

down and reboot the system, and the BIOS automatically restores the

CPU parameters to their default settings.

ErP ready

The motherboard is European Union´s Energy-related Products (ErP)

ready, and ErP requires products to meet certain energy efficiency

requirements in regards to energy consumptions. This is in line with

ASUS vision of creating environment-friendly and energy-efficient

products through product design and innovation to reduce carbon

footprint of the product and thus mitigate environmental impacts.
