If I use virtu-i mode,I can save energy while browsing and so.For this the cable needs to be plugged into motherboard vga always.Does this affect game performance in anyway compared to virtu-d mode?

thanks:)looks like I'll stick with virtu-d

@zangetsu:virtu is a new feature supported by intel's z68 which turns of the discrete graphics when not necessary,thereby saving power.Basically,it allows integrated and discrete graphics run simultaneously in collaboration
