Lucid Virtu is a software designed for Intel Sandy Bridge platform that dynamically assigns tasks to the best available graphics resource based on power, performance and features.
This guide explains the Lucid Virtu solution, which dynamically assigns graphics tasks between the integrated Intel Sandy Bridge GPU and a discrete AMD or Nvidia GPU. It lists the required hardware (Intel Sandy Bridge motherboard, dual/quad‑core CPU, compatible chipset, at least 2 GB RAM, and a supported discrete GPU) and software (Windows 7, DirectX 9‑11, WHQL GPU drivers).\n\nThe document walks through the software installation process, including driver preparation, running the setup wizard, and handling older versions. It also describes the Virtu control panel, showing how to enable or disable the solution, configure display modes, and manage the supported application list. This manual is written in Chinese.
