Dual view /Nvidia view
« on: July 20, 2003, 08:57:14 pm »
Anyone try this with a cheap GeForce Ti card...was day dreaming of a bar-top cab with two monitors apart a bar's length from each other playing the same game (perhaps a 2player versus??). Would be kind of cool to have the monitor flush flat with the bar eh?
Any thoughts.

Well that sounds cool, but all nView does is allow you to double your desktop real-estate.  I suppose this would allow you to maybe run two emualtors at once each on seperate monitors but I'm not sure.  Of course then your processing power would be 1/2ed for each emulator.

If the game is split screen on a single monitor, maybe you could than span it to the two independent displays.

Isn't there an Nvidia view where it just duplicates the screen on 2 monitors?

ahhh... yeah. Its probably the default. You could probably just use the standard driver to do that.

If you are "cloning" one display to the other, the hardware on the video card will take care of it. So I'd say the same CPU speed you'd use if you had only one monitor.

Sweet looks like I have another project ahead of me and I am not even done with the first one.
