NVIDIAs answer to LucidLogix Virtu technology will be called Synergy. We just got hold of the information and the support will available to Intel H67 and ofc the new Z68 chipsets. All that is needed is a BIOS and driver update. ETA is not 100% yet, but looks to be well on the way and will probably be ready sometime next month.
More information at the source. (Swedish Google-translated)
Thank you Nvidia for not fixing optimus before this ;)
We love you
Another computer product called Synergy? - This is going to make things interesting.
I suppose nVidia may have legitimate naming lineage to 'Synergy' from their purchase of Elsa 9-10 years ago.Quote:

I am interested in a solution, that will allow a shutdown of the GPU to such a state, where it's fan(s) can be turned off. From what I could understand of the op article (not much :) ) Synergy does not provide. Although Optimus did. Wonder if it works with AMD APUs too.
Waiting to see what BACON can deliver. (Bus Alive, Chip Off, Now! ;) )
I am interested in having a decent GPU in my laptop, but being able to use the integrated GPU when I am on battery.
I'm confused.. is nvidia licensing technology from lucid..? Or is this just consolidating & renaming their current tech..?
It's the techno of Nvidia Optimus for laptop / mobile adapted to desktop i think ....Quote:
