At the end of past month LucidLogix developer published information about virtu technology, which allow to be dynamically switched between the built-in graphic core sandy bridge processors and discrete video card on base of AMD or NVIDIA chip.
On the exhibition CES 2011 appeared more details about the technology virtu. LucidLogix is assembled to inject support to the technology virtu on motherboards on base of chipset intel h67. It will disconnect the discrete video card at the level of PCI express x16 . The integrated graphic core of sandy bridge processors can manage video transcoding or HD video playback. But if the resources of video card is required it will begun to operate immediately, in this case the graphic core of processor can continue to accomplish its tasks.
Let us note that in the systems with discrete video card on base of sandy bridge processors the possibilities of transcoding by the integrated graphic system are blocked; therefore virtu technology will help to remove this annoying limitation.
