Appendix D Glossary dialog box - Dialog boxes are user‐input windows that contain command button and various options through which you can carry out a particular command or task. For example, in a Windows application "Save As" dialog box, you must indicate the folder to contain the document to be saved and the name of that document when saving it. dual‐card configuration - A setup where two or more displays (such as an analog display, a digital display, or a TV) are connected to two NVIDIA GPU‐based graphics cards installed in the computer. GPU - NVIDIA graphics processor (chip) products are called graphics processing units (GPU). Supported NVIDIA GPUs are listed in Chapter 2. The graphics card you are using is based on an NVIDIA GPU. HDTV - high definition television. A system for transmitting a TV signal with far greater resolution than the standard National Television Committee (NTSC) standards. An HDTV set requires at least two million pixels versus a common television set of 360,000. multi‐graphics card configuration - A setup where two or more displays (such as an analog display, a digital display, or a TV) are connected to two (or more) NVIDIA GPU‐based graphics cards installed in the computer. multi‐display configuration - A setup where two or more displays are connected to either a multi‐display NVIDIA GPU‐based graphics card; or two (or more) NVIDIA GPU‐based graphics cards. single‐display configuration - A setup where only one display is connected to the NVIDIA GPU‐based graphics card in your computer. SLI (Scalable Link Interface) technology - NVIDIA SLI multi‐GPU technology takes advantage of the increased bandwidth of the PCI Express™ bus architecture to allow multiple GPUs to work together to deliver accelerated performance. An NVIDIA SLI system consists of a PCI Express motherboard that supports two physical connectors capable of having two NVIDIA PCI Express graphics cards plugged into them. The two graphics cards must be joined together by the NVIDIA SLI connector. With the appropriate graphics drivers installed, SLI mode can then be enabled or disabled. When SLI mode is disabled, you can use all the nView multi‐display modes that are supported, including using up to four monitors connected to the two SLI NVIDIA Corporation 226
