    Hi guys anyone is using this software? I have recently bought it from Myth (myth owners exclusive AFAIK). It is supposed to increase FPS, responsiveness and enhance the overall experience but what I get is 0% GPU utilization (Nvidia control panel is set to use the discrete gpu) and unplayable gaming with 8 FPS on BF3. I was using the latest drivers from Intel and Nvidia, I tried reverting back to the drivers on Myth download page since they must have tested the software using those drivers but I get the same thing. Anyone has any experience on that? Cheers

    As far as I know, you're first supposed to configure applications to use the Lucid Virtu MVP technology. Most games are incompatible with the tech, and some require specific settings.
    Contact mythlogic for the specific setup instructions.

    Thanks man, I did contact them and they said it should be out of the box... Also the software works with almost every game (BF3 is even their demo game). BTW I have just tested with other games and same problem...

    If your game isn't already on the Virtu MVP game list to enable dedicated GPU, it won't activate at all. The software itself may work out-of-box, but you still have to configure it for the games. There has to be a menu that will allow you access to the game list and settings for each.

    Hi guys I just wanted to update this thread just in case someone needs it.
    I accidentally reset my win 8, then I re installed all mythlogic provided drivers and programs (at least that is what I thought) tested the mvp software and it worked, I then decided I would format my drive to have a fresh install and when I tested the mvp software it didn't work. So I started all over again reformatted my drive installed windows and then tested the mvp software after each new driver installation and it went all the way to the last driver without an issue, it was only then I found that I hadn't installed the Intel XTU Utility on the first time (after the win reset),but had it installed after the first format, and I didn't install it now.So after re installing all my personal programs and the mvp still working I concluded that the issue was being caused by the XTU utility. Cheers

    So anyone else try this? All i see is conflicting reports, reviewers say it works and user reviews are mixed.

    I also have a mythlogic machine, (P150SM) with Lucid Virtu MVP, and I did not see a change in 3Dmark 11 score with it enabled or disabled. What I did notice was that MATLAB will not work unless it is uninstalled... that didnt give me much of a choice ^.^
