ASUS Z68 Motherboards To Feature LucidLogix Virtu Technology

LucidLogix announced that its Virtu GPU virtualization software will be integrated into various SKUs of ASUS motherboards based on the Intel Z68 chipsets. Virtu allows the systems to switch between integrated graphics of 2nd generation Intel Core processors and discrete graphics cards based on GPUs from AMD and NVIDIA.

Lucid GPU virtualization software, Virtu, assigns tasks in real time to the best available graphics resource based on power, performance and features considerations, with no need for additional hardware or for swapping cables between boards. If graphics power is needed for applications like high-resolution 3D gaming, the system will assign the job to the discrete GPU. If not, the discrete GPU automatically goes into idle mode, while heat drops, fan speed slows down and the discrete GPU utilization goes down to zero, resulting in a power-efficient system. Virtu works in two flexible configurations: if power and energy saving is the most critical one, the screen is connected directly to the video output on the motherboard. If gaming performance is needed, the screen is connected directly to the discrete GPU. In both cases Virtu allows the use of the other GPU's capabilities.
