Lucid Virtu solution
Lucid Virtu is a next generation GPU virtualization software that blurs the
line between embedded graphics and discrete GPU for increased graphics
performance.
5.3.1
Hardware installation
Based on your selection of video output, there are i-Mode and d-Mode. Lucid
Virtu helps your system easily switch back and force between these two modes
according to your system loading.
i-Mode
i-Mode provides user with 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.
d-Mode
d-Mode is designed 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.
To use Lucid Virtu solution in d-Mode,
display must be connected to discrete
GPU installed in the system
d-Mode (output from the discrete GPU)
i-Mode (output from
the Sandy Bridge
GPU)
Lucid Virtu technology automatically and unnoticeably switches the display
mode based on your system loading.
d-Mode
is a better display mode for
gamers to enhance your 3D gaming performance.
