Just noticed that someone on a video uses not only there 2 cards, but also has there onboard graphics enabled for use. This person has the same board as me. Now i don't quite understand why anyone would want to do this... and i don't know how i can do it,and if it's worth doing.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me please. My system is below.
 
You got a link to the video? in theory the onboard is disabled when using discrete, in virtue it switches between the 2, not using them at the same time.
 
I read an article somewhere in the last month about this, but I can't find it now.:mad:

I have the following paragraph as a stickynote on my desk, can't remember why & where it came from.

Z68 chipset has got recent version of Lucid Virtu. match whole applications with GPUs for the best performance. Early versions of Virtu required the PC monitor to be plugged into the motherboard's video socket, Now the newer version allows users to plug directly into their GPU's output while still keeping Quick Sync enabled. As a result now you can seamlessly play games on a powerful video card and also code video files on the integrated Intel HD graphics core.

What is lucid virtu for?

To switch between graphics chips, HD2000/3000 and your discrete card depending on the task at hand, whether it be video transcoding (quick sync) which the HD3000 does very quickly or power saving.
Its very similar to nVidia Optimus used in laptops.
 
I use it all the time, onboard graphics on my 2500k for day to day use. Switches to my 560 for gaming.
