About NVIDIA Mosaic

NVIDIA® Mosaic takes multiple displays and Quadro or NVS GPUs and presents them as a single logical GPU to the operating system.

In this way, using multiple-display hardware acceleration, this technology lets you use multiple displays to create a larger, virtual canvas with minimal performance impact on 2D or 3D applications.

Each display defines a unique uniform region within a larger virtual canvas.

Multiple Mosaic Configurations

Under Windows 7 and later, using NVIDIA Kepler-class GPUs and later, you can set up more than one Mosaic configuration within a system.

For example, with two such GPUs you can configure a 2x2 Mosaic arrangement on one GPU and a separate 2x2 arrangement on the other GPU.

 

Limitations

Maximum Resolution

The maximum resolution depends on the Quadro product used.

The total pixel output for a configuration is the total horizontal pixels by total vertical pixels. Total size on the Set Up Mosaic page calculates the total pixel dimension for you. The total pixels displayed is a combination of the Display configuration, resolution setting, and edge overlap settings.

Minimum Resolution

Individual displays must be set to a resolution greater than 800 x 600 pixel output. If a display in your configuration is set to one of the smaller pixel output resolutions (e.g., 640 x 480 or 800 x 600), the system will revert to single display mode.

Use Matching Displays

All displays must be the same type and use the same type of connection (for example, all DVI-to-DVI or all DVI-to-VGA). Mixed display use is not supported.
