Lucid Virtu GPU Virtualization Software Review - Sandy Bridge and Discrete coexist

[news 28]

Lucid first showed up its Virtu software virtualization for GPUs at

CES in January but they are now finally ready to give us some hands on

testing time. Virtu promises to marry the integrated graphics features

of the Sandy Bridge Intel processor graphics to the performance of

discrete solutions from NVIDIA and AMD. The result is a system that

can fully utilize BOTH GPUs and user that finally gets what they

deserve.

Quote: "Despite an early hiccup in our testing due to the AMD

compatibility issue, the Lucid Virtu software has impressed me. The

idea for the technology is well founded and solves one of the few

problems we had with the Intel 2nd Generation Core processor family

that launched in January. The architecture of the purely

software-based solution is cleverly intuitive and Lucid seems to think

they really have solved it for good."
