I had been running an older LCD monitor and my AV-Receiver->HDTV off my GTX 570 dGPU set up with Lucid VIRTU and my iGPU HD 3000 graphics. Some had been saying "leads to instability." Others -- "not a real noticeable performance enhancement." I had troubles recently with occasional random resets. Most likely, from my ongoing efforts to troubleshoot -- it was the overclocked RAM settings.
Now that I'm junking this VIRTU thing, it occurred to me that I can switch my boot-up monitor to the iGPU to run with 512MB of RAM, add a 28" LCD 1080p monitor to the dGPU, and use the latter for games, the iGPU for regular computing tasks and keep the AVR-HDTV hooked up to the dGPU.
Some other forum showed one guy doing this, and it worked without a hitch. I'm sure it probably does, but 15 years ago, I wouldn't hesitate. These days, I have all this . . . wonderful sheee-** working right. So I tend to ask others and contemplate "change" more slowly.
Anyone tried this lately? How is it? Does it work reliably?
