Note: If a user launches an OpenGL application on a display attached to graphics card
#1 and then moves the application window to a display attached to graphics card #2,
the application will continue to use the capabilities of the original GPU (card #1 in this
case) and not the capabilities of card #2; the image is rendered via the GPU on card #1
and then copied over to the second card’s display(s). This copy process is less efficient
than rendering on a display connected to the same GPU and results in a performance
penalty.
In order to make it easier for users to manage which OpenGL applications launch on
which display, the AMD FirePro card comes with HydraVision™ APS (Application
Position and Size) as a standard part of the driver installation package on
Windows® 7, Windows Vista®, and Windows® XP platforms. HydraVision APS provides
the capability to remember which display (and therefore which graphics card) an
application was last located on (as well as the application’s exact position and size) and
to open there on subsequent invocations. The OpenGL driver works with
HydraVision APS to allocate 3D resources in an optimal manner.
With the HydraVision APS package installed, a user’s second OpenGL application can
be fully accelerated via the second graphics card by ensuring that the second OpenGL
application is launched on the second graphics card, as follows:
1. Launch the second OpenGL application.
2. Move it to a display attached to the second card.
3. Exit the application.
4. Relaunch the same application.
By taking these simple steps, the second OpenGL application will be automatically
launched on the second card and thereby use the full power of the second graphics
card.
When running three or more OpenGL applications simultaneously, the same
principles apply. Launch the application on the display attached to the graphics card
that you want the application to use.
Note: The following are known limitations:
1. Once HydraVision APS has been installed, users other than the original user
who installed HydraVision APS will not be able to install an older version of
HydraVision on Windows Vista.
2. HydraVision APS is unable to track and preserve the screen position and size
