MMO-Champion
Sorry for my other thread, I already know the answers to the questions asked in that other one, but I'm not able to change the title to the question I have now.
With the ASRock Z77 it comes with 'Lucid Virtu MV'. Do I need this? I've looked around google but I'm still not sure.

iirc those can enhance gpu performance in some odd scenarios. (or decrease it)
at the cost of cpu power.
not 100% sure.

You need that to use the onboard graphics automagically selectable with discrete card. Last I heard it's 10-40% performance loss to use it, but on the plus side your discrete graphics card will be turned completely off on windows desktop.

Lucid Virtu MVP doesn't give any FPS boosts or puts a turbo on your discrete gpu, it works complety different. That thing is just meant to reduce the input lag which is useless.
The monitoring part is useless as well, I don't see the point of disabling the IGP through that program because the IGP never interfers with anything.
