What is the benefits of Virtu for your gaming experience if you don't have discrete video card? it is compatible in any motherboard like Gigabyte H61-d2-b3? this is free? if free can someone give me a link to download it? tnx!

one problem is that Virtu is designed to run with Sandybridge CPUs,Z68,H61 and H67
mobos which I believe you have

but you need a discrete GPU

it balances the load between the SB IGP and the Discrete GPU

when you need 3D apps it uses GPU
when you need 2D desktop apps plus Quicksync then it uses the CPU

so as far as I know (though I am no expert) you must have a discrete GPU
and would be of no gain without it

nowadays a decently powerful card can be had for under $150 USD

for example the GTX 460 and the HD 6850

even a HD 6770 or GTX 550 series
would be a seriously noticeable improvement over just using onboard GPU

really even a HD 6670...

really even a HD 6670 at about $90 would be a good investment if money is tight
and you are not a hardcore gamer playing maxed out on latest titles

Hope I helped
