people tried using lucid virtu(switchable graphics) feedback

---

I-mode: Connect your monitor to on-board IGP. Configure BIOS to set IGP as primary.

Once LUCIDVirtu will detect a 3d rendering apps (like games) the discrete GPU will start to kick in.
Note that due to buffering, there will be 2-8% performance drop of the discrete GPU.

c

D-mode: Connect your monitor to your discrete GP. Configure BIOS to set PCIE as primary.

Note: Do not connect monitors to the desktop board and graphics card video output connectors simultaneously as this is not a supported Lucid Virtu configuration

urrent setting boss kay i connect my dvi cable from the monitor to the onboard display port.
okay na man gana na ang virtu. but the problem is ang direct x nako. display features are not available so if mag play ko 3d games nga na a sa application list sa virtu dili siya mo gana

ahhh...! ming hural nako oi... i'm giving up using the i-mode (sakit na akong ulo anyways i do the d-mode)

pero nindot jud ta if mag i-mode kay maka save gamay sa electricity... i have read forums na in i-mode gamay ra ka au ang drop sa fps, 2-3%lang.

which is true kay naka try jud ko using i-mode in 3dgames by unsinstalling and then reinstalling my intel hd graphics para mo enable ang dx features but sadly when you turn off or restart your pc not available na daun ang dx featrues mura na siyag psp-3000 dili puede e off para pirmi ang hack hehehe

pila man masave sa consumption sa i-mode vs d-mode? dba vcards kay mu idle man when browsing2x lang.. after I changed my vcard to GTX 570 kusog jud kaau ang consumo based sa Omni Digital Watt meter. consumption not including monitor and speaker is about 76-85+ Watts when idle (magflactuate xa but mostly around 76-79 lang)... When playing Dirt 3 full settings kay 260+watts ang reading..

[sioti49]

hehehe 4-6watts ra.

scheam raman ni ang virtu oi.
ma au nalang maka quicksync ka sa proce... which is iyang advantage.


contento nalang ko oi sa akong set up sa d-mode

today's latest internet browsers use GPUs for image and video rendering while browsing, ambot lang kaha'g di mo switch rn kung nag surf rka.
