Chapter 1 Introduction NVIDIA Display Properties and nView Desktop Manager The NVIDIA ForceWare graphics display driver includes two major control panel‐ based components - NVIDIA display properties and nView Desktop Manager. In general terms, "nView™" represents a collection of multi‐display technologies encompassing driver support, multi‐display GPU architecture, and desktop management support. • NVIDIA display properties, the topic of this user's guide, refers to the control panel‐based user interface from which you can configure the advanced display properties of the current release of the NVIDIA ForceWare graphics driver. For details on using the NVIDIA display control panel menu, see "Accessing the NVIDIA Display Control Panel Pages" on page 24. • nView Desktop Manager is a user‐level application utility that focuses on making you more productive when working on your Windows® desktop. nView Desktop Manager was originally created for multi‐display graphics cards but has grown to enhance single‐display user desktops as well. Desktop Manager supports both single‐display and multi‐display configurations running with single‐display, multi‐display, or multiple graphics cards based on NVIDIA GPUs.
