3DMark gets LucidLogix support

LucidLogix and Futuremark today announced that Futuremark’s range of 3DMark gaming benchmarks is being updated to detect systems using Lucid’s HyperFormance and Virtual Vsync performance technologies, which are available in the Virtu MVP virtualization software and other Lucid solutions.

Futuremark’s 3DMark benchmark works by measuring the process of rendering frames of 3D graphics. Lucid’s Virtu MVP HyperFormance and Virtual Vsync features are designed to improve responsiveness through the intelligent reduction of redundant rendering tasks. While 3DMark scores may increase when turning on Virtu MVP features, scores from systems with and without MVP technology are not directly comparable because of its effect on the rendering process from CPU to GPU to display.

Lucid and Futuremark are working together to add HyperFormance and Virtual Vsync setting status information to Futuremark’s benchmarks. After a Futuremark software update expected in early Q2, all 3DMark scores submitted to 3dmark.com will indicate if the system includes Virtu MVP and its responsiveness features settings.

Lucid and Futuremark are working together to deliver a software update for Futuremark benchmarks that includes Virtu MVP feature support in early Q2 together with documentation for testing professionals, press and enthusiasts explaining how to interpret scores from systems with Virtu MVP enabled.
