Display Driver
• Improved support for custom timings, including non-divisible by 8 resolutions on
TMDS/LVDS panels, control of back-end and front-end timings, and variable
overscan shift values.
The driver can also present underscan modes on demand, and supports variable
underscan ratios.
• Off-screen 2D memory management optimization
• Efficient synchronization between clients allows for sharing of off-screen resources
with DirectX applications. This avoids potential performance issues with
applications that use DirectX rendered surfaces in ways that conflicted with 2D
caching.
• VESA Coordinated Video Timing (CVT) Support
•
Support via control panel option for analog monitors
•
Support for CVT/CVT-RB timing restriction using R&T strings
• Color compression support
• SLI Enhancements
• SLI screen capture support
• Improved performance
• Improved management of profiles between driver updates, enabling you to select
which profiles to keep and which profiles to update with each new software
update. This ensures that if you have setup your profiles in your current driver,
you will not lose any settings when you update your driver.
• Improved high-resolution scalable desktop functionality for Quadro GPU-based
workstations.
