Multi-Device Compatibility Mode
: This mode is available if you have two
or more active display devices when running in nView Dualview mode or if
you are using different classes of NVIDIA GPU-based cards (
Figure 9.20
).
Note:
When this mode is in effect, OpenGL renders in “compatibility” mode
for all displays. In this mode, when different classes of GPUs are in
use, the lowest common feature set of all active GPUs is exposed to
OpenGL applications. The OpenGL rendering performance is slightly
slower than in Single-Display mode.
Multi-Device Performance Mode:
This mode is available if you have two
or more active display devices when running in nView Dualview mode or if
you are using different classes of NVIDIA GPU-based cards (
Figure 9.20
).
Note:
When this mode is in effect, OpenGL renders in “Performance” mode
for all displays. As in “Compatibility” mode, when different classes of
GPUs are in use, the lowest common feature set of all active GPUs is
exposed to OpenGL applications. However, the rendering performance
is “faster” than in Compatibility Mode, although switching or spanning
display devices may result in minor transient rendering artifacts.
