• You can set different color depths per display.
• You can arrange your multi-display desktop to be any shape; it does not have to be
limited to "rectangular" as in nView Span modes.
• When you run a DirectX or OpenGL application in Dualview mode, it is
accelerated as long as the window does not span more than one display. If the
window spans two displays, drawing is not accelerated in the window.
Note: In Span modes, drawing is always accelerated.
• Dualview mode is supported on various combinations dual displays, as explained
earlier in
For example, you can have a system with the primary display as an analog display
that supports up to 1600 x 1200 at 100 Hz refresh rate, while the secondary display
is connected to an NTSC TV that is limited to 800 x 600 at 60 Hz refresh rate. The
TV has lower resolution and refresh rate than the analog display because the TV
encoder on the GPU has fewer capabilities than the analog display.
