Virtu MVP will be available on new/high-end Intel and AMD platforms

Virtues MVP is a new technology from Lucid will be available for most cards based on Intel Z77. To do this requires a license in the BIOS makes me think the old boards based on Intel P67 / Z68 will not get a BIOS update to support it. Novelty for MVP Virtue is the option that can work both HyperFormance i-Mode and in d-mode, reducing the GPU work by determining that the frames to be rendered or not. It is much to discuss on this issue and we will do after we test this technology in more detail, until then we only say that promises significant improvement in gaming experiences.

P.S. i might as well pass on new GPU and upgrade to IB

Virtual Vsync.

So it actually increases above what both are capable of dishing out separately? Awesome!

APU GPU + any other GPU = extra performance - no 6670 limit. If this hopefully works, genius!

never mind I just read that I need a new MOBO for this. Forget it

MVP takes your iGPU and makes it do the output buffering for your GPU, so your GPU doesn't have to produce the final image output, so you plug into the board an the iGPU handles it.
Next it does some advanced Z-Culling which is removing frames/parts of frames that the user will never see but that usually get processed.
It also works in responsiveness of your input devices somehow, but it isn't very clear as to how it does this, but it probably has to do with the elimination discretion.

Benchmarks for GPUs calculate the amount of time to process all frames, however when you play a game the experience is determine by the speed of the scenes Independent of the fact that not all frames or not all parts of the frame are processed.

Example if frames that get thrown out of the que:
Duplicates basically are about it.

Example of eliminated pixels by z-culling that is already part of your GPU= image behind a tree.

The issue is that you can only view so many frames per second, so MVP eliminates frames you will never be able to see, however it has to be designed very well to not reduce image quality. From what I saw at IDF in 2011 i couldn't tell the difference while they were benching.

However it is hard to determine exactly how well things are done, I will have a nice analysis upon release, this is all I can say right now.

However you can goto lucid's site and read their whitepaper.

I think this will be good for online gaming and GPU limited systems. If speed is what you want this is what you can get.

Thank you Sin

Thanks for the explanation. +Rep.

I'm totally lost. What does Asrock have to do with the ASUS board in the source? And why does it say AMD MB in the title when this is pointing at the Intel side?

 

[Juganot]

soooooooo all I need is a z77 board and I can use this technology and get a nice performance?

 

[Sin0822]

yes all you need is Z77 board with MVP licensed., not all will have license.

I think the OP was trying to show multiplier sources showing MVP performance.

This MVP will be on most high-end boards from a variety of companies, that is why most kept more of the VGA connectors.

 

[Juganot]

Thanks for all the info sin.

very helpful.

I'm just as confused.

Fixed

[ivanlabrie]

Will this work with existing Sb igps?
I have a 2600k chip and no mobo yet...mmm

Will any of the Gigabyte boards have the license? This seriously has me tempted to upgrade my chipset now... Well, assuming I even had money for it to begin with. Oh, and will this also work with current Sandy Bridge processors? i5 2500k, i7 2600k etc.

 

[ESP]

Well none of Virtu's other stuff works for crap, so don't expect this to actually work like it says it will.

yes

as for the SB chips ..i like to know how would this work as well ..

There are two articles in the source. The first article (and thread title) refer to the upcoming AMD A75 mobo. The second article (and screenshot in the OP) discusses the same VirtuMVP technology, but focuses on its implementation on Intel Z77 boards.

The AMD implementation may give a boost to Llano CPUs in midrange systems. The Intel implementation may give the Z77 boards an actual demonstrable advantage over the Z68s.

Ah, I missed that. Will re-read all of it. I was like, 'We already know it's around on Intel, come on!'.

Would definitely give this a shot on an AMD board had I the chance. The technology itself (from my past reads on it and videos) is pretty sweet if you ask me.
