A while ago after I built my new rig I was able to get virtumvp 2.0 working and was getting really good results from it (up 10-20fps on some games). I disabled it for a while when I was beta testing ESO due to it giving me some crazy performance hit but now that beta testing is done and I've heard its working better now with VirtuMvp I want to get it working again but for some reason I just can't get it working again. I start it up made sure hyperformance is enabled on the game I was trying to play which used to work perfectly with it and now nothing. The logo doesn't show up and I'm not getting any performance gains. Also using GPU-z to monitor my onboard gfx I can tell it is not being used at all. There is a guide posted somewhere that I can't find any more which had a work around where you enabled a 3rd monitor and set to extend desktops which is what I used to have to do to get it to work but now it doesn't. Anyone mind helping me out on this?

Setup is
I5-4670k
560ti
Asrock z87 Pro4

Also I have multi monitor enabled in bios. I've tried the Nvidia driver 337.88 and 335.23. I have the latest Intel drivers though I can't find anywhere that says which driver version works best for it

I do not know how to help you setup it up, but you should realize what it does. It does not improve your FPS, even though FPS meters will think it has. What it does, instead, is reduce latency.

When ever a new frame it to be rendered, the VirtuMVP will take the call, and decide if it is close enough to vertical blanking mode that a frame will not sit in the buffer too long before being displayed and reduce tearing. If it is not close enough, it will do nothing, but the FPS meters will count a frame being rendered anyways.

So it may be worth using, but you are not gaining any FPS as a result. If anything, you may actually lose a few FPS, but games will feel more responsive, if it works correctly.
