Hardware acceleration with two video cards
Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2011 5:09 am
Hi again.
After using fantamorph for a while now, I wanted to try out the preview window on a second monitor. My primary video card does best driving a single large monitor, so I purchased a second video card to drive a smaller lcd.
The problem is that fantamorph doesn't seem to support OpenGL acceleration when the preview window is on the second monitor. As soon as I select 'dual view', and move the preview window to the second monitor, there is no update at all when moving the time slider. If I disable HW acceleration in options, restart fantamorph, preview on the second monitor works, but is of course quite slow compared to HW accel on.
The second video card I got was fairly inexpensive because I don't intend on playing games. I thought it would have been enough for HW acceleration. I got an Nvidia 8400 GS 512meg. What is the hardware requirements for OpenGL?
