Using nView Multi-Display Settings
When using NVIDIA GPU-based graphics cards that support multiple displays,
there are three ways to run multi-display configurations under most operating systems;
Dualview, Span, or Clone mode. These nView display modes are available from the
nView Display Settings page as shown in Figure 4.1 and Figure 4.2.

• Single display mode indicates that only one of your connected displays is used.
Note: If you have only one display that is connected, you will not see the nView
Display Settings option on the menu.
• Clone mode indicates that both displays in the display pair show images of the
same desktop.
• Horizontal Span mode indicates that both displays in the display pair function as
one wide virtual desktop. The width of each display is half the width of the total
virtual desktop width.
• Vertical Span mode indicates that both displays in the display pair function as one
tall virtual desktop. The height of each display is half the height of the total virtual
desktop height.
