NVIDIA Control Panel™ Features:
The NVIDIA Control Panel allows you to configure a multi-display environment, whether it is through multiple
computer monitors (either digital or analog) or by using a monitor in conjunction with a television set. The ability to
use multiple displays within Windows can simplify many everyday tasks by spreading out the Windows Desktop
area or by allowing you to watch a movie on your television. Multiple display configuration can be made in the “Set
up multiple displays” subsection located in the Display section of the NVIDIA Control Panel.

SLI/PhysX Configuration
The NVIDIA Control Panel also provides configuration
options for SLI (multiple display adapters) in the form of
2-way SLI, 3-way SLI, and Quad SLI. These options will be
located under the 3D Settings section when two or three
(requires compatible 3way SLI graphics card) matching
Graphics Cards are installed. You may also enable PhysX for
supporting games and designate which graphics card will
handle PhysX processing. See example below.
