I last posted about Lucid Virtu Universal MVP in this AMD thread, after ASRock launched a Llano motherboard with the feature. Since I couldn't recall seeing a specific discussion topic about it over the last few months (also searched, to no avail), I decided to make one.
For those who have followed the developments for some time, you'll already know what Virtu MVP is. For everyone else, this may be something you'll want to keep in mind for your gaming builds.
Yes, it's platform agnostic. Virtu MVP will be a major bullet point for many vendors' Ivy Bridge, and Trinity motherboards. While it can be retrofitted to past productss, like Sandy Bridge, or Llano, don't expect a great deal of companies to offer that option. Selling you on one of their new models is better for their bottom line.
Check out the links below for a breakdown, or just watch the video demo for an idea of what to expect.

Virtu MVP
Uncompromised Game Response Performance
At Lucid, we believe there shouldn't be a tradeoff between frame rates and visual quality. We think that when you click the mouse it should interact with the screen instantaneously. So we created the ultimate competitive weapon. Virtu MVP, is an optimized Lucid Virtu GPU virtualization software that makes your PC look better, respond faster, process video and media smoother, all within a low power environment.
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 – the addition of the optional Hyperformance™ feature for intelligent reduction of redundant rendering tasks in the flow between the CPU, GPU and display. Together with improved power management, Virtu MVP:
- Boosts responsiveness to the game at any frame rate
- Improves gaming frame rates 30-70%
- Increases Vsync frame rates – up to 120 FPS and beyond
- Sharpens visual quality without tearing
- Works seamlessly with hundreds of game stations
How Hyperformance Works
3D games put the greatest demands on both the CPU and GPU. And as the race for higher performance on the PC and now in notebooks never ends, both CPUs and GPUs keep getting more robust. Despite this, display refresh rates have remained fairly flat over the years, 60-75 Hz, except for 3D stereo displays at 120Hz. Lucid takes advantage of this disparity and eliminates redundant rendering tasks and predicts potential synchronization issues in the graphics delivery pipeline and intelligently removes and or replaces them for better game control.
