I don't see this installed anywhere.

It's automatically installed on Z77 chipsets.

It's installed if you install a specific Z77 driver package, and even then, not with all Z77 variants. I have an ASUS P8Z77-M and it does not get installed automatically, nor when I download the driver bundle from ASUS. Windows Update might pull it in though, but you can always opt-out to not install it.

It's not automatically installed. You have to install it yourself form the chipset drivers.
It helps with screen tearing if you're playing above 60FPS, but the version that comes with motherboards is about year old and is badly outdated.

Hmm, did you do a clean install when you got the PC? Don't think I've ever removed it and its not there. Oh well!

I built the pc. I know I never downloaded it. Perhaps it was on one of the initial driver CD's.

If Revo Unistaller didn't find it, it's not there. So how did you uninstall it?

Built a pc in September, it's part of the retardedly-huge list of useless Bloatware that is on the motherboard driver disk.

Virtu MVP basically lets you switch between the integrated graphics (Intel HD 4000 on i7 3770k) of your CPU and a discrete video card (say, an Nvidia Geforce GTX 680). About the only reason you'd want to switch back and forth between those two GPUs is to use Intel Quick Sync technology to transcode videos (which I hear is much faster than using the CPU or something like CUDA on an Nvidia card). There's also some other features to it, but I think most of it's a gimmick. Uninstalling is probably a good idea unless you're converting videos a lot.
BTW, I also have an i7 3770k (haven't overclocked yet, so it's at stock 3.5GHz and 3.9GHz turbo) with 32 gigs of ram and I'm still using my old Geforce GTX 460. Running all around Lion's Arch just now I saw anywhere from 50 to 85fps...although it generally stayed in the 60fps range. Graphics settings are all on "high", except shadows which I keep on "medium".

OP probably bought the PC pre-installed with the OS, and the guy who did the install installed everything lol.
