Chapter 3
NVIDIA Driver Control Panel Access
You will see one or more of the descriptive EDID display names as shown in the
examples in
Figure 3.2.
The display names that appear are based on the number
and type of display(s) that are connected to your computer
and
whether you are in
nView Dualview mode. These display names are also viewable from the nView
Settings page (
Figure 3.9).
Note:
For example, if you have multiple displays connected to an NVIDIA dual-
display graphics card, in order to see both of your displays, you must be in
nView Dualview mode. In nView Clone or Span mode, you can only see one
display because Windows considers the displays as a “single” display in
these modes. For details, see
“About Renaming Displays” on page 46
.

During first use of the driver, the “default” page that opens is always the main
