Chapter 4 Using nView Multi-Display Settings • You can set different color depths per display. • You can arrange your multi‐display desktop to be any shape; it does not have to be limited to "rectangular" as in nView Span modes. • When you run a DirectX or OpenGL application in Dualview mode, it is accelerated as long as the window does not span more than one display. If the window spans two displays, drawing is not accelerated in the window. Note: In Span modes, drawing is always accelerated. • Dualview mode is supported on various combinations dual displays, as explained earlier in "nView Display Settings - Renaming a Display" on page 43. For example, you can have a system with the primary display as an analog display that supports up to 1600 x 1200 at 100 Hz refresh rate, while the secondary display is connected to an NTSC TV that is limited to 800 x 600 at 60 Hz refresh rate. The TV has lower resolution and refresh rate than the analog display because the TV encoder on the GPU has fewer capabilities than the analog display. Initial Installation of nView Dualview Mode - Windows 2000 Note: When you start Windows 2000 with an NVIDIA GPU‐based multi‐display graphics card (or multiple NVIDIA GPU‐based graphics cards), you are not yet in Dualview mode. You can confirm this when you view the Windows Display Properties Settings page and see only one display image in the display. Follow these steps to enable Dualview. 1 Make sure your multi‐display NVIDIA GPU‐based graphics card is properly installed in your computer and securely connected to your displays. Make sure your displays are turned on and the NVIDIA display driver has been properly installed on your computer. 2 After Windows starts up, right click on your desktop to open the Windows desktop menu. Then select the display for which you want to open the NVIDIA display menu and select the nView Display Settings option. 3 Click the arrow in nView display modes list and select Install Dualview (Advanced) as shown in Figure 4.9. 49 Quadro Workstation User's Guide
