times faster and is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 components.
LucidLogix Virtu MVP
LucidLogix Virtu MVP
Up to 60% Hybrid Graphics Boost and 3X Faster Video Conversion
LucidLogix
Virtu MVP featuring HyperFormance™ Technology boosts your discrete
graphics card up to 60% beyond its original performance through the test
of 3DMark Vantage. 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 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.
* LucidLogix® Virtu Universal MVP™ supports Windows® 7 operating system.
** Intel® Quick Sync Video feature is supported by 3rd/2nd generation Intel® Core™ processor family.
