Using Lucid Virtu MVP

Post 1 of 1

The instructions in the motherboard manual pretty much explain what needs to be done to enable Virtu MVP for use with a discrete graphics card. The monitor should be connected to the discrete graphics card. iGPU Multi-Monitor support needs to be enabled in the UEFI. If changing the default memory size for the iGPU this needs to be done before installing the Virtu MVP software. Doing so after the software is installed will break it and require the software to be uninstalled/reinstalled. It seems neither SLI nor CrossFireX are supported. I was not able to get either configuration working.

Install the latest available WHQL driver for the discrete graphics card.
Install the latest available WHQL driver from Intel or the driver included on the motherboard disk.
Install the latest release of Virtu MVP available from the Lucid website.

Experimentation will be needed depending on the game. Performance may be best with Virtu MVP disabled, only Hyperformance enabled or both Hyperformance and Virtual Vsync enabled. The game must be enabled in the Virtu MVP application tab’s list with both D and H selected for Virtu MVP to be activated. If overclocking the CPU additional VCORE may be necessary to maintain stability when using Virtu MVP.
