Dual Monitor question on GeForce 7800 GTX....

Post by Imakeholesinu »

A buddy of mine is trying to run a dual-monitor setup with Eve on Fullscreen on one monitor and then window apps on another. Can this be done?

no :( you have to run it in windowed mode but you can make the window as large as your screen so you cant tell its in window mode.

Windowed mode will reduce performace, but on a 7800GTX I wouldn't worry....

Yep the nView window is what you use.

nview will let yhou do do, or you can even do it under the desktop property. YOu can either clone the screen (so both monitors will look the same) or you can spam the screen(so that you basically get more working spaces).
