![]() ![]() I don't agree that this is hardware design and not a driver issue so I am going to post this on any forum I can find. This is simply how the hardware is designed." 3D hardware acceleration is not supported on both monitors at the same time. That said, The 9700 can have video acceleration, but only on one the PRIMARY monitor. Any product prior to the Radeon 9000 will have big desktop regardless of the drivers in Windows 2000. The Radeon 97000 will not have this BIG dsesktop due to its dual controllers. "After investigating your issue into greater detail I have found that the Radeon 8500 will still have a BIG desktop in Windows 2000. Still have not gotten a final answer back from ATI as to when or if the drivers will provide acceleration on the extended desktop for both monitors. Hydravision 3.20, maybe Dkev will let us know how he got two opengl screensavers running. are you using Hydravision or something else (UltraMon perhaps?) I upgraded from a Wildcat II 5000/GF2MX combo so I could get. If you move the player over to the other screen you still get audio, but the video freezes. You experience the same problem with DVD playback. Can someone provide more details of how they get acceleration on both monitors. Now the older drivers did have acceleration on both monitors, but that was maybe version 6102 or earlier. ![]() This is also true on a machine running XP and the 8500, only Monitor 1 has acceleration. This is also my experience, my applications only have OpenGL acceleration on Monitor 1. "Video-Overlay including any 3D Acceleration (Direct3D OR OpenGL) support exists ONLY on your PRIMARY monitor". On another machine running the 9700Pro with Catalyst 3.0, the drivers use an extended desktop and according to Marvin G. drivers, I get what they call the Big desktop and acceleration is on both monitors. at ATI because on W2K and the 8500 card using the Catalyst 3. Now I am really confused, I have been corresponding with Marvin G. Ive ran two diffrent open gl screensavers at the same time on my duals using multi mon on the 9700 with no problem. Maybe you need to set the 2 monitors to the same resolution.I have a GF 4 and can use openGL at the primary OR secondary monitor,if I drive different resolution.But I can use openGL (Cinema4D) on both monitors simultaneousely,if I set my monitors to identical resolution (WinXP). Not quite so directly as I make them sound either.īut it does NOT. I just got a 9700 pro to solve my need for OpenGL on two monitors (I use Maya), I wrote many emails to ATI specifically asking if it does support two mon OpenGL and they told me that Hydravision 2 DID. ![]() Post Reply Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Radeon 9700 pro and two mon OpenGL?
