Window
The resize controls on the NVIDIA Control Panel are provided in case satisfactory results cannot be achieved using the controls on the display. After resizing the HDTV desktop using the NVIDIA Control Panel Resize controls, the new custom resolution created is now added to the list of available resolutions for that display, and also added to the resolution list within the game or application. In Release 190 and later drivers, the method for resizing the HDTV desktop has changed to provide better image quality when applying underscan. This method results in a new custom resolution being created which needs to be selected from games or applications to apply the resizing. In the example displayed in the following screen shot, the underscan
RN-W31422-01v01 | 7
has created a new resolution (1216x682). Although this resolution looks different, it is still in HD format. Remember to select this resolution in your game or other application in order to take advantage of it.

Windows Vista now controls the allocation of system memory to the GPU for TurboCache functions. The Windows Vista Display Properties pages show the shared system memory (SSM), or how much memory is allocated for NVIDIA GPUs to use for TurboCache. For more information on graphics memory reporting under Windows Vista, visit http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/display/graphicsmemory.mspx.
Windows 7 Considerations
Hotplug Action
Unlike the hotplug activity under Windows Vista, the default settings are not applied when a new display is hotplugged, and there is no message balloon alert stating that a new display was detected. Under Windows 7, all display connection and detection events are handled through the Windows 7 Connecting and Configuring Displays (CCD) mechanism.

Flickering Black Screen Occurs After Installing the NVIDIA Drivers on Windows 8
Issue
After installing the NVIDIA drivers on Windows 8, the subsequent reboot results in a black or flickering screen.
Root Cause
This occurs because Windows Update performed a background installation of a Release 304 driver, which requires a reboot to complete the installation. After installing the Release 313 driver and then rebooting the system, installation of both the Release 304 as well as the Release 313 is completed, resulting in conflicting driver binaries and the black/ flickering screen.
Workaround - Prevention
To avoid the issue, reboot the system before installing the Release 313 driver. Alternately, you can check the driver status under the Device Manager and perform the reboot if the Device Manager indicates that a restart is needed. Then install the driver.
Workaround - Recovery
If you did not perform the necessary reboot prior to installing the driver and now encounter the black screen, do the following:
1 Reboot in Safe Mode. 2 Uninstall the driver. 3 Disconnect from the internet and then restart the system. 4 In normal mode, install the new driver.

Dedicated Video Memory (video memory dedicated for graphics use) Dedicated System Memory (system memory dedicated for graphics use), and Shared System Memory (system memory shared between the graphics subsystem
and the CPU). The values for each of these components are computed according to WDDM guidelines when the NVIDIA Display Driver is loaded.
Issue
Some TAG-reporting APIs represent video memory using 32-bits instead of 64-bits, and consequently do not properly report available graphics memory when the TAG would otherwise exceed 4 gigabytes (GB). This results in under reporting of available memory and potentially undesirable behavior of applications that rely on these APIs to report available memory. The under reporting can be extreme. For example, 6 GB might be reported as 454 MB, and 8 GB might be reported as 1259 MB.
different reported TAG memory values between the NVIDIA Control Panel and other reporting APIs.
1. The WDDM guidelines dictate minimum and maximum values for the components, but the display driver may further constrain the values that are reported (within the allowed minimum and maximum).

NVIDIA PhysX System Software Cannot be Installed or Uninstalled in Windows Safe Mode
Issue
Beginning with Release 280, the NVIDIA PhysX System Software is not included in the NVIDIA driver installation/uninstallation under safe mode.
Explanation
The NVIDIA PhysX System Software installer is not compatible with Microsoft's policy for Windows safe Mode. Consequently, installation or uninstallation of the PhysX System Software under safe mode would fail. To allow installation or uninstallation of the graphics driver under safe mode, the NVIDIA PhysX System Software is blocked from the process.
Explanation
3DMark 11 is not compatible with running in stereoscopic 3D. To facilitate running the benchmark, recent drivers will run it in monoscopic mode, even with 3D Vision enabled.

Previous Driver Files Remain After Overinstalling with Release 256 or Earlier Drivers
Issue
When installing a Release 256 or earlier driver over a Release 260 or later driver, some of the previous driver files remain on the hard disk, resulting in potential conflicts.
Workaround
After installing a Release 260 or later driver, you must uninstall the driver first before installing a Release 256 or earlier driver.
Explanation
Microsoft has confirmed that this behavior is by design. If you wish to uninstall the NVIDIA driver, it is recommended that you do so using Add and Remove programs. See the Microsoft KB article 2278714.

Changing the Primary Display Across SLI GPUs Takes Longer than Expected
Issue
On an SLI system, switching the primary (or SLI focus) display when each display in the SLI group is connected to a different GPU takes longer than expected.
Explanation
On an SLI system with each SLI GPU driving a display, the display connected to the slave GPU is the primary display (also the SLI focus display). In order to switch the primary display to the one connected to the other GPU, the master and slave GPU configuration must also switch. In order to reassign which GPU is the master and which is the slave, the driver must be reloaded. It the process of reloading the driver that takes the additional time.
Understanding the DirectX Version Shown in the NVIDIA System Information Window
The System Information windowaccessed by clicking System Information at the bottom left corner of the NVIDIA Control Panelprovides technical information about the NVIDIA graphics cards and driver installed in the system. It also provides information about the Windows version as well as the DirectX version that is installed. However, in order to use the version of DirectX reported in the System Information window, the NVIDIA GPU and graphics driver must also support that DirectX version. For example, driver version 197.45 and Windows Vista (with available patch) support DirectX 11. But only NVIDIA graphics cards based on the Fermi architecture released in 2010 support DirectX 11. So your system must have one of these cards installed in order to take advantage of DirectX 11 performance.

Using HDMI Audio with Displays that have a High Native Resolution
To use HDMI audio with some displays that have a native resolution higher than 1920x1080, you must set the display to a lower HD resolution. Some HDMI displays have a native resolution that exceeds the maximum supported HD mode. For example, displays with a native resolution of 1920x1200 exceed the maximum supported HD mode of 1920x1080. Applying this native mode results in display overscan which cannot be resized using the NVIDIA Control Panel since the mode is not an HD mode. To avoid this situation and provide a better user experience, the driver treats certain TVs such as the Viewsonic VX2835wm and the Westinghouse LVM- 37w3as a DVI monitor when applying the native mode. Because the driver does not treat the TV as an HDMI in this case, the HDMI audio is not used.
RN-W31422-01v01 | 35
If Turn off audio is selected and you want to test whether your HDMI audio does, in
fact, work, then click the list arrow and select the name of the display. The driver will prompt you with instructions for testing HDMI audio with that display.
If the display name is selected, then the driver has not successfully detected that an
incompatible display is connected. Future drive versions will properly identify such displays and disable audio.
Flat Panel Scaling Controls are Non-functional for Some TV Modes for Some Displays
The NVIDIA Control Panel flat panel scaling controls on the "Adjust Desktop Size & Position" page are not intended to be used for TV modes, and normally the controls are not available for TV or HDTV displays. However, Microsoft requires that certain TV/HDTV modes be available for all digital displays, including DVI and HDMI, even if they are not HDTV. While the NVIDIA flat panel scaling controls are available for those displays, they will not be functional for the TV modes that appear in compliance with the Microsoft requierements. The affected modes are as follows:
1920x1080i @50/59.94/60 Hz 1280x720p @50/59.94/60 Hz 720x480p @ 59.94/60 Hz 720x576p @ 50 Hz

GPU Runs at a High Performance Level (full clock speeds) in Multi-display Modes
This is a hardware limitation with desktop and older notebook GPUs, and not a software bug. When multiple displays are connected and active, the GPU will always operate with full clock speeds in order to efficiently drive multiple displayseven when no 3D programs are running.
Note: NVIDIA notebook GeForce 5xxM series and later GPUs do not have this limitation. For those GPUs the driver can adjust the performance level, depending on demand, even when driving multiple displays.
GeForce GTX 295 Fan Control Does not Function With NVIDIA Control Panel Performance Group version 6.03.06.00

GeForce 6 and 7 Series Cards Cannot Output Interlaced Signals in SLI Mode [251457]
Problem
Rendering problems and instability occur when outputting interlaced modes (480i, 576i and 1080i) over the Y Pr Pb component and DVI outputs.
Explanation
This is a hardware limitation in SLI mode only and cannot be fixed via a driver update.
Resolution
Due to this issue, starting in driver version 162.22 in Windows Vista, the driver will automatically disable SLI mode when using the 480i, 576i and 1080i modes over all connectors on the GeForce 6 and 7 series GPUs.
RN-W31422-01v01 | 37
To re-enable SLI mode, you must choose a non-interlaced output mode and reboot your computer.
GeForce 8 series GPUs do not have this hardware limitation and you can output all HDTV interlaced and progressive scan outputs in SLI mode. The 480p, 576p, 720p, and 1080p progressive scan modes do not have this issue in SLI mode and are not affected by this change.
Image Sharpening Control not Available with GeForce 8 Series and later GPUs
With GeForce 8 Series and later graphics cards, the Image sharpening slider on the NVIDIA Control Panel-> Display->Adjust Desktop Color Settings page is grayed out. This control is intentionally disabled because image sharpening is not supported on GeForce 8 series and later GPUs.
