In theory, Virtu sounds good, but in practice, I just don't see any benefit whatsoever. For example, my HIS 7870 is set to 1175 core clock / 1250 memory clock. Running Warhammer 40,000 performance test with all settings maxed out at 1440p, i get 83.6fps average without Hyperformance on and 80fps with Hyperformance on. It's also a tiny bit less smooth at times with Hyperformance on. I did, however, notice that my 7870 did less work, because I can hear the fan spinning up relative to its temperature, and it spun up a lot less with Hyperformance on. In WoW, I also see fps drop (a small amount of it) and decreased smoothness when panning the camera. Maybe some games benefit significantly, but I've yet to find those. So far, I'm under the impression that it's only good for synthetic benchmarks...
If anyone has a different experience, please let me know - maybe I'm missing something.
One thing I noticed is that some games were selected automatically by Virtu to have hyperformance on, and some weren't (Warhammer 40000 and WoW were among those not enabled) - so perhaps Lucid developers know which games don't really benefit from it?
