Questions for Nvidia on linux GTX-680 support

Deanjo · 03-23-12, 12:05 PM

A few questions before I pull the trigger on a purchase

a) Does twinview support the full 4 monitor output without resorting to hacks and all kinds of xorg.conf tom foolery?

b) Will there be support for nvenc in linux (SDK sample code etc)?

c) Is the IOMMU issue going to be addressed soon?

I can't address your other questions, but yes, you can drive up to four monitors in the (now incorrectly-named) TwinView configuration.

Thanks for the answer to the quadview answer AaronP. Guess I won't be pulling the trigger yet however as working IOMMU is currently a show stopper requirement. For the nvenc I guess I'll try asking in the developer channel.
