LucidLogix company released the microcircuits hydra, which allow to unite any video card for accelerating three-dimensional graphic. On this week the company lucidLogix presented one technical solution, which destroys monopoly of NVIDIA in some sphere.
The technology optimus, proposed BY NVIDIA during February , allow to dynamically transfer load from discrete video card to the integrated graphical solution intel - in notebook this optimize energy consumption without damage to the productivity. In this case the technology optimus work only with NVIDIA video card.
LucidLogix alternative in the form the technology virtu proposed to dynamically distribute load between the graphic core of intel processors generation sandy bridge and discrete video card on AMD or NVIDIA chip. If discrete graphic system is not claimed at the specific moment , then it is switched in the idle regime, economizing electric power. According to the description, virtu technology will work with desktop systems on base of chipset intel h67.
Virtu technology is realized at the program level. The corresponding drivers will be finished in the beta- version to January 2011. The work of virtu technology by lucidLogix company will demonstrate on the exhibition CES 2011, which will pass on 7-9 January.
