A few weeks after unveiling its technology Virtu, LucidLogix society - who also designed the chip Hydra - just put at the disposal of the motherboard manufacturers a Release Candidate software. The operating principle of Virtu is simple, at least on paper: use the GPU Sandy Bridge and a dedicated graphics card simultaneously.
Just like what NVIDIA offers its technology Optimus solution LucidLogix will choose which graphics card use and enable the IGP or dedicated card as required (office, 3D calculations, ...). The only equipment needed is the presence of a video output on the motherboard. MSI should logically be one of the first manufacturers to offer Virtu with its motherboards, the manufacturer has already at its catalog a number of models equipped with a chip Hydra.
LucidLogix hopes that the first motherboards using its solution Virtu will be available during the next quarter.
