User’s Guide
Appendix C
NVIDIA ForceWare Graphics Display Driver — Feature History
Improved control of SLI rendering modes — see
“Adjusting Performance and
Quality Settings” on page 104
.
Improved end-user control of SLI profiles and rendering modes – see
“NVIDIA
Display Control Panel” on page 187
and
“Adjusting Performance and Quality
Settings” on page 104
.
Display Driver
Improved support for custom timings, including non-divisible by 8 resolutions on
TMDS/LVDS panels, control of back-end and front-end timings, and variable
overscan shift values.
The driver can also present underscan modes on demand, and supports variable
underscan ratios.
Off-screen 2D memory management optimization
Efficient synchronization between clients allows for sharing of off-screen resources
with DirectX applications. This avoids potential performance issues with
applications that use DirectX rendered surfaces in ways that conflicted with 2D
caching.
VESA Coordinated Video Timing (CVT) Support
Support via control panel option for analog monitors
Support for CVT/CVT-RB timing restriction using R&T strings
Color compression support
SLI Enhancements
SLI screen capture support
Improved performance
Improved management of profiles between driver updates, enabling you to select
which profiles to keep and which profiles to update with each new software
update. This ensures that if you have setup your profiles in your current driver,
you will not lose any settings when you update your driver.
Improved high-resolution scalable desktop functionality for Quadro GPU-based
workstations.
