This mode can be set for multiple categories of displays, although display limitations may override the capabilities of your NVIDIA dual-display graphics card. For example, if the second display is an NTSC TV monitor, depending on the TV encoder on the graphics card, the resolution may not be set above 800 x 600 and the refresh rate cannot be set above 60 Hz. However, the PC monitor in such a configuration may have its refresh rate and resolution set much higher. The desktop can be extended horizontally, vertically, as well as at other angles by repositioning the desktop display icons in the Windows Settings control panel. You can drag the icons to the positions that represent how you want to move items between monitors. For example, if you're using two monitors: · To move items from one monitor to the other by dragging left and right, position the icons side-by-side (Figure 5. 29). · To move items between monitors by dragging up and down, position the icons one above the other (Figure 5. 30). · The monitor icons area displays a monitor icon for each monitor attached to your computer. If you are using just one monitor, that monitor shows the relative size of items on your desktop, based on your current screen resolution. If you have more than one monitor installed, right click a monitor icon, and click Identify to see a number appear on the monitor corresponding to the icon you clicked. The settings for that monitor appear in Display, Colors, and Screen Area. If more than one icon is displayed, drag them to the positions that represent how you want to move items between monitors. For example, if you are using two monitors and you want to move items from one monitor to the other by dragging left and right, position the icons side by side. To move items between monitors by dragging up and down, position the icons one 58 NVIDIA Corporation Qaudro Professional Driver Workstation User's Guide above the other. The icon positions don't have to correspond to the physical positions of your monitors. You can position the icons one above the other even though your monitors are side by side. · The Display window displays all installed video adapters. If you are using more than one monitor, the adapter for your primary monitor is in position 1. [. . . ] Once you have found the optimal settings for a particular Direct3D game, saving the settings as a custom tweak allows you to quickly configure Direct3D before starting the game and eliminates the need to set each of the options individually. · Delete lets you delete the custom setting currently selected in the Custom Direct3D Settings field. · Restore Defaults restores any settings you have changed to their default values.
