Introduction

NVIDIA Display Properties and nView Desktop Manager

The NVIDIA ForceWare graphics display driver includes two major control panel‐
based components — NVIDIA display properties and nView Desktop Manager.
In general terms, "nView™" represents a collection of multi‐display technologies
encompassing driver support, multi‐display GPU architecture, and desktop
management support.
• NVIDIA display properties, the topic of this user's guide, refers to the control
panel‐based user interface from which you can configure the advanced display
properties of the current release of the NVIDIA ForceWare graphics driver.
For details on using the NVIDIA display control panel menu, see "Accessing the
NVIDIA Display Control Panel Pages" on page
• nView Desktop Manager is a user‐level application utility that focuses on making
you more productive when working on your Windows® desktop. nView 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.
For details on using nView Desktop Manager features, refer to the NVIDIA
ForceWare Graphics Drivers: nView Desktop Manager User's Guide.
