nView vs. NVIDIA Display Properties
nView
nView represents a collection of multi-display technologies encompassing
driver support, multi-display GPU architecture, and desktop management
support.
nView Desktop Manager
The primary nView component is the Desktop Manager, which is a user-level
application utility that focuses on making you more productive when working
on your Windows desktop. Desktop Manager was originally created for multi-
display graphics cards but has grown to enhance single-display user desktops as
well. Desktop Manager supports both single-display and multi-display
configurations running with single-display, multi-display, or multiple graphics
cards based on NVIDIA GPUs.
Note:
nView Desktop Manager has been further enhanced in terms of new
features for the Release 40 NVIDIA drivers. For details, see
Features in this Driver Release” on page 5
and the NVIDIA nView
Desktop Manager 2.0 User’s Guide.
