Interesting Stefan, I didn't know that.

So how would one achieve similar effect on non-quadro cards?

To my knowledge:

1) Use Linux/OS X
2) Soft-mod your Geforce to a Quadro
3) It might be possible with ATI cards, I haven't checked that for some time.

Surely it must be possible to use two GPUs independently?

You can, just not with OpenGL. Cuda, OpenCL and iirc Direct3D can address individual GPU's.

If not, that means that multi-GPU systems are inherently broken on windows?

Depends on you definition of broken. For a user it is certainly good to be able to drag GL windows across GPU's.

Also the overhead is 'just' broadcasting GL commands to all GPU's. If your window covers only one GPU, the other GPU(s) will have no fragments to process.

Or can I setup truly independent screens in driver settings, like with X?

Not that I am aware of, but I'ld like to know if you find a solution.


Cheers,

Stefan.
