Hi All,
Warm Greetings !!

I have installed a i7 4770K processor ,which has inbuilt graphics
Intel 4600 IGD.
I also have GTX 770 4GB Installed
I have 2 display monitors.

My MOBO is Z87 MSI GD65 which USES LUCID VIRTU MVP Driver - GPU Technology & I also have NVIDIA GTX 770 Display Drivers.


My Question is is is better if I connect the 2 monitors to my MOBO HDMI and VGA and use this LUCID VIRTU MVP Softwares to grab the extra benefit or resource from GTX 770 card.
So doing this way I will be using both GPU's.

OR

Is is advisable to connect my 2 monitors always to my GPU display slots ?, By doing this I will be using only the GTX 770 Resource.Where as my Intel i7 4770K Internal GPU will be lazy doing nothing much :)

I googled and somewhere it mentions I will get extra 5 -7 frames
if I connect to MOBO and use both.
 
Solution
If you have a discrete GPU with enough connectors available for your graphics usage, always use those outputs. Less routing of signals, processing etc is always better. The 4770K iGPU won't contribute anything to gaming workloads. The GTX770 is hugely faster than the Intel HD 4600 on the 4770K.

The only thing the Lucid Logic Virtu MVP is really good for is expanding connectivity if absolutely needed or taking advantage of the quicksync for video encoding at low-power usage.
