Well try games with it turned off. anyway to turn it off without deleting the program?

I think it's off by default. You should be able to control it in the Virtu utility.

The Lucid Virtu MVP program is the "thing" with the new Z77 chipset motherboard. Virtu was on Z68 chipsets, too.

The Virtu program controls whether or not your discrete video card or the onboard CPU's iGPU (video part of the processor) is needed. It also can run both at the same time for speedier video transcoding (video editing). Suppose to help in games alot.

It's suppose to be a great feature that everyone likes. I found that under normal office application, the Virtu software "turns off" my discrete video card, and uses the onboard GPU for video. It still displays through the video card.

And that's what I think it all about. Leave it on.
