Lucidlogix Virtu MVP and AMD Mantle

[tchahin]

I was curious if anyone tested if Lucidlogix Virtu MVP works with Mantle in BF4.

Virtu MVP virtualizes all gpus in the computer and schedules the workload to whatever gpu is most available at the time.

So you can basically crossfire/sli between cards of any brand including iGPU like Intel HD.

I am really interested to see if anyone tested mantle with Virtu MVP.

You're describing Lucid Hydra. Virtu is a different thing...

Ive still yet to see a particularly successful use of Lucid Hydra, every review ive seen says its full of bugs and isnt worth the time.

Kari is correct you are describing Lucid Hydra and as of right now that is still garbage.

Now on the other hand to extend further from what Kari said.
I have Virtu MVP 2.0 Pro Edition and I play BF4 and currently been playing the TitanFall Beta as well as the Elder Scrolls Online Beta (several open periods)

And the Virtu MVP works wonders for me. I say this because I use one of the ASUS 144hz monitors and When I enable Vysnc to get rid of tearing I have a max framerate of 60fps in all games which I believe is a limitation of Vsync. When I use Virtu MVP 2.0 I don't have to enable Vysnc and I get all my FPS and more so my games or smoother and no tearing that i can see.

Although I should say the program is still buggy. Doesn't always work but when it does it very nice other times it can be a drag.

Hi there, did you get the final released version working with Virtu MVP too? I'm forced to use it because I'm running a Apple Thunderbolt Display, and there is no way to connect the display directly to my dedicated graphics card. I started using Virtu MVP for games, which results in almost all games running on my PC – including Source's games like CS:GO and TF2 using DirectX11. Only OpenGL based games and some old ones won't work, which is ok for me. However when starting Titanfall, I don't see the Virtu MVP logo, and it won't use my dedicated graphics card, resulting in a very slow framerate powered by the integrated one – some Intel onboard.

Did you do something special, or did it work out of the box? Please answer asap, I'm becoming quite desperate. 🙁

Update 8 apparently fixed it for me. Better late than never.
