nView Dualview vs. Span and Clone Modes
When using NVIDIA products that are multi-display capable, there are three
ways to run multi-display configurations under most operating system;
Dualview, Span, or Clone mode.
•
nView Dualview and Span/Clone modes are mutually exclusive
. This
means that you cannot access nView Span or Clone Mode if you have
Dualview mode enabled. Conversely, you cannot access Dualview mode if
you have nView Span or Clone Mode enabled.
Note:
As explained in Chapter 1, the
nView Display Mode
option in the
Media Center menu will always be visible when you are
not
in
Dualview mode (
). When you are in Dualview mode, the
nView Display Mode
option is replaced by the
Device Selection
option
