QuickSync is DONE WITH THE INTEGRATED GRAPHICS. What LucidVirtu does in Windows is connect the two graphics chips (IGP and discrete) via software so they can communicate and you're not forced to switch connectors to get the output from each separately. But you definitely are using the IGP when you use QuickSync.

And second, it's not done on the graphics unit, it's a dedicated video block within the same chip. There is a difference here. AMD's solution uses OpenCL, which is run on the GPU (shader units).
I guess it is nitpicking, but we like accurate terms here

@Kivada, I do not understand your point about the costs of a microprocessor with iGPU and discrete card.
Are you recommending not to buy an Intel i7 with iGPU, if you plan to use a discrete card?
If you have an Intel with iGPU and a discrete card, here we discuss how to get the best of both. I do not think being discussing the convenience of buying one or the other.Last edited by YAFU; 16 May 2013, 03:55 PM.

Discrete GPUs are great at gaming but are poor at HARDWARE video transcoding with QuickSync.
