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
.
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.
