3. Hardware Installation
3.1 i-Mode
i-Mode provides users special features and power saving options when no 3D
gaming is used.
To use VIRTU Universal MVP in i-Mode, the display device must be connected to a
motherboard’s video output.
Note: Display can be also connected to IPG VGA output instead of IPG DVI out-
put.
3.2 d-Mode
d-Mode is for demanding 3D gamers to achieve uncompromised 3D performance
from the discrete GPUs installed in their system. In this mode, VIRTU Universal
MVP allows users to utilize AMD’s special features, while the display device is
connected to a discrete GPU.
To use VIRTU Universal MVP in d-Mode, the display device must be connected to a
discrete GPU installed in the system.
Note: We recommend using d-Mode for better 3D performance, instead of using
the power saving i-Mode.
