Are there any new options then ?
Despite the fact that the MX seems to
be a cut down version of the GTS it indeed has some new options, which are
likely to be included in future chipsets also. The 1st one is TwinView
Although the Gladiac MX that we have received did not have this cool option.
TwinView is basically multiple
output options for this particular videocard. You can compare it with Matrox's
DualHead display. You can connect two displays on this card (Monitor - TV,
Monitor - Monitor, Monitor - Flatpanel).
| Standard
mode |
The desktop area
is spread across both displays. The refresh rate, color depth, and
resolution can be set for each display. |
| Exclusive
Application mode |
Different
applications running on different monitors. |
| Clone
mode |
The picture on
the secondary monitor appears the exact copy of what you have on the
primary one. |
| Application
zoom mode |
Image (piece)
from the primary monitor is displayed on the secondary display, but zoomed
in. |
| Virtual
desktop mode |
Full support for
virtual desktops is available for panels and monitors with limited
resolution. Virtual desktops, with full pan-and-scan mode, can be
configured for one or both displays. |
Great options for all of those people who like
edit a lot or like to play games with on one screen for example a map and the
other your 3rd person look. TwinView supports several working modes, which can
be very useful for all kinds of different tasks.
Digital Vibrance Control
Another 'newbie' in the geForce 2 MX chipset is
useage of Digital Vibrance Control. Although we could not test this option
(drivers did not support it!) it is an option that should display brighter and
clearer images. You (the user) can alter the saturation of all images, color
separation and intensity through an easy to use control panel.
