Nvidia 67.22 driver with fx1100 - opinion

So far so good, two monitors, I can get better resolution with less
quiver, SWX seems fine with it too.

2¢

 

I don't use much of the fancy Nvidia either, I just want a good display without
problems.

There's a 71.84 driver on the Nvidia site also.

 

I have the same card but haven't tried 2 monitors. does sw run on 1
and everything else on the other? can you give me some pointers to try
it out?

 

Thats the way to do it -- trying to have SW span two monitors is just
to problomatitic. 1 monitor for SW and the other for emails etc.

I have the Win task bar on the bottom set up only on one monitor -
the second monitor is just a blue screen covered in Post- it notes (
of the virtual type !! ) and the real sort !!.

Pretty much, I put some of the SW toolbars on the other screen as well as
email, pdf's, ACAD/MTD, internet whatever, you can stretch the apps across
both screens, but aside from 'wowwing' the cow-orkers it's not that useful,
but I have two different sized monitors. With two 22" flats panel displays
you could probably work across both pretty well.

It's pretty easy to set up, just go thru the Display Properties, then thru
the Advanced tab to get to the Nvidia settings... I left most of it alone.

 

I've been running this configuration for about 1 year. No problems at
all (2-21" CRT's , one going through a "DVI-ANALOG connector). Knock
wood, it's been very solid.

Can you get the SW toolbars to stay where they're put on the second
screen after restarting SolidWorks?

If so I'll send a virtual beer if you can tell me how.

I run only one monitor here at work. But at home I have two. My main one
is a 21" which is on the right. My secondary is a 19" and it is on the
left. I know it seems backwards. You really can't tell a difference other
than the Windows Taskbar stays on the right.

Anyway, SW stays on the right 21" maximized, and my SW toolbars stay on the
left 19", even after restarting. I didn't do anything special to get it to
do this. It just worked this way the first time I tried it.

Your setup sounds just like mine, 'cept I got a 22' monitor in the last upgrade
)

And the toolbars just stay where I leave them on the left screen, although they
start out one size and shape when first pulled off the SW GUI, after a few uses
they resize themselves and there's no getting them back to their larger initial
size

I had a Ti4400 for a couple years at home too, but one day it gave up the ghost,
nice card for the $$.

 

And it doesn't worry you getting zapped by all those extra rays does it
Mike?

 

Extra rays? You're not wearing a tin foil hat, are you? LOL!
