Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ NV_MOSAIC_TOPO

This is a complete list of supported Mosaic topologies.

Using a "Basic" topology combines multiple monitors to create a single desktop.

Using a "Passive" topology combines multiples monitors to create a passive stereo desktop. In passive stereo, two identical topologies combine - one topology is used for the right eye and the other identical //! topology (targeting different displays) is used for the left eye.

NOTE: common\inc\nvEscDef.h shadows a couple PASSIVE_STEREO enums. If this enum list changes and effects the value of NV_MOSAIC_TOPO_BEGIN_PASSIVE_STEREO please update the corresponding value in nvEscDef.h

                             resolution, only viewports[0] will
                             contain the viewport details, regardless
                             of which display is driving the display.

◆ NvAPI_Mosaic_GetSupportedTopoInfo()

NVAPI_INTERFACE NvAPI_Mosaic_GetSupportedTopoInfo ( NV_MOSAIC_SUPPORTED_TOPO_INFO pSupportedTopoInfo,
NV_MOSAIC_TOPO_TYPE  type 
)

DESCRIPTION: This API returns information on the topologies and display resolutions supported by Mosaic mode.

NOTE: Not all topologies returned can be set immediately. See 'OUT' Notes below.

Once you get the list of supported topologies, you can call NvAPI_Mosaic_GetTopoGroup() with one of the Mosaic topologies if you need more information about it.

'IN' Notes: pSupportedTopoInfo->version must be set before calling this function. If the specified version is not supported by this implementation, an error will be returned (NVAPI_INCOMPATIBLE_STRUCT_VERSION).

'OUT' Notes: Some of the topologies returned might not be valid for one reason or another. It could be due to mismatched or missing displays. It could also be because the required number of GPUs is not found. At a high level, you can see if the topology is valid and can be enabled by looking at the pSupportedTopoInfo->topoBriefs[xxx].isPossible flag. If this is true, the topology can be enabled. If it is false, you can find out why it cannot be enabled by getting the details of the topology via NvAPI_Mosaic_GetTopoGroup(). From there, look at the validityMask of the individual topologies. The bits can be tested against the NV_MOSAIC_TOPO_VALIDITY_* bits.

It is possible for this function to return NVAPI_OK with no topologies listed in the return structure. If this is the case, it means that the current hardware DOES support Mosaic, but with the given configuration no valid topologies were found. This most likely means that SLI was not enabled for the hardware. Once enabled, you should see valid topologies returned from this function.

SUPPORTED OS: Windows 10 and higher

Since
Release: 185
Parameters
[in,out]pSupportedTopoInfoInformation about what topologies and display resolutions are supported for Mosaic.
[in]typeThe type of topologies the caller is interested in getting. See NV_MOSAIC_TOPO_TYPE for possible values.
Return values
NVAPI_OKNo errors in returning supported topologies.

◆ NvAPI_Mosaic_GetTopoGroup()

NVAPI_INTERFACE NvAPI_Mosaic_GetTopoGroup ( NV_MOSAIC_TOPO_BRIEF pTopoBrief,
NV_MOSAIC_TOPO_GROUP pTopoGroup 
)

DESCRIPTION: This API returns a structure filled with the details of the specified Mosaic topology.

If the pTopoBrief passed in matches the current topology, then information in the brief and group structures will reflect what is current. Thus the brief would have the current 'enable' status, and the group would have the current overlap values. If there is no match, then the returned brief has an 'enable' status of FALSE (since it is obviously not enabled), and the overlap values will be 0.

'IN' Notes: pTopoGroup->version must be set before calling this function. If the specified version is not supported by this implementation, an error will be returned (NVAPI_INCOMPATIBLE_STRUCT_VERSION).

SUPPORTED OS: Windows 10 and higher

Since
Release: 185
Parameters
[in]pTopoBriefThe topology for getting the details This must be one of the topology briefs returned from NvAPI_Mosaic_GetSupportedTopoInfo().
[in,out]pTopoGroupThe topology details matching the brief

◆ NvAPI_Mosaic_SetCurrentTopo()

NVAPI_INTERFACE NvAPI_Mosaic_SetCurrentTopo ( NV_MOSAIC_TOPO_BRIEF pTopoBrief,
NV_MOSAIC_DISPLAY_SETTING pDisplaySetting,
NvS32  overlapX,
NvS32  overlapY,
NvU32  enable 
)

DESCRIPTION: This API sets the Mosaic topology and performs a mode switch using the given display settings.

If NVAPI_OK is returned, the current Mosaic topology was set correctly. Any other status returned means the topology was not set, and remains what it was before this function was called.

SUPPORTED OS: Windows 10 and higher

Since
Release: 185
Parameters
[in]pTopoBriefThe topology to set. This must be one of the topologies returned from NvAPI_Mosaic_GetSupportedTopoInfo(), and it must have an isPossible value of 1.
[in]pDisplaySettingThe per display settings to be used in the Mosaic mode. This must be one of the settings returned from NvAPI_Mosaic_GetSupportedTopoInfo().
[in]overlapXThe pixel overlap to use between horizontal displays (use positive a number for overlap, or a negative number to create a gap.) If the overlap is out of bounds for what is possible given the topo and display setting, the overlap will be clamped.
[in]overlapYThe pixel overlap to use between vertical displays (use positive a number for overlap, or a negative number to create a gap.) If the overlap is out of bounds for what is possible given the topo and display setting, the overlap will be clamped.
[in]enableIf 1, the topology being set will also be enabled, meaning that the mode set will occur.
If 0, you don't want to be in Mosaic mode right now, but want to set the current Mosaic topology so you can enable it later with NvAPI_Mosaic_EnableCurrentTopo().
Return values
NVAPI_OKThe Mosaic topology was set.
NVAPI_NOT_SUPPORTEDMosaic is not supported with the existing hardware.
NVAPI_INVALID_ARGUMENTOne or more argumentss passed in are invalid.
NVAPI_TOPO_NOT_POSSIBLEThe topology passed in is not currently possible.

NVAPI_INCOMPATIBLE_STRUCT_VERSIONThe version of the structure passed in is not compatible with this entrypoint.
NVAPI_MODE_CHANGE_FAILEDThere was an error changing the display mode.

◆ NvAPI_Mosaic_SetDisplayGrids()

__in NvU32  gridCount,
__in NvU32  setTopoFlags 
)

DESCRIPTION: Sets a new display topology, replacing any existing topologies that use the same displays.

This function will look for an SLI configuration that will allow the display topology to work.

To revert to a single display, specify that display as a 1x1 grid.

SUPPORTED OS: Windows 10 and higher

Parameters
[in]pGridTopologiesThe topology details to set.
[in]gridCountThe number of elements in the pGridTopologies array.
[in]setTopoFlagsZero or more of the NVAPI_MOSAIC_SETDISPLAYTOPO_FLAG_* flags.
Return values
NVAPI_OKCapabilities have been returned.
NVAPI_INVALID_ARGUMENTOne or more args passed in are invalid.
NVAPI_API_NOT_INTIALIZEDThe NvAPI API needs to be initialized first
NVAPI_NO_IMPLEMENTATIONThis entrypoint not available
NVAPI_NO_ACTIVE_SLI_TOPOLOGYNo matching GPU topologies could be found.

◆ NvAPI_Mosaic_ValidateDisplayGrids()

NVAPI_INTERFACE NvAPI_Mosaic_ValidateDisplayGrids ( __in NvU32  setTopoFlags,
__in_ecount(gridCount) NV_MOSAIC_GRID_TOPO pGridTopologies,
__inout_ecount_full(gridCount) NV_MOSAIC_DISPLAY_TOPO_STATUS pTopoStatus,
__in NvU32  gridCount 
)

DESCRIPTION: Determines if a list of grid topologies is valid. It will choose an SLI configuration in the same way that NvAPI_Mosaic_SetDisplayGrids() does.

On return, each element in the pTopoStatus array will contain any errors or warnings about each grid topology. If any error flags are set, then the topology is not valid. If any warning flags are set, then the topology is valid, but sub-optimal.

If the ALLOW_INVALID flag is set, then it will continue to validate the grids even if no SLI configuration will allow all of the grids. In this case, a grid grid with no matching GPU topology will have the error flags NO_GPU_TOPOLOGY or NOT_SUPPORTED set.

If the ALLOW_INVALID flag is not set and no matching SLI configuration is found, then it will skip the rest of the validation and return NVAPI_NO_ACTIVE_SLI_TOPOLOGY.

SUPPORTED OS: Windows 10 and higher

Parameters
[in]setTopoFlagsZero or more of the NVAPI_MOSAIC_SETDISPLAYTOPO_FLAG_* flags.
[in]pGridTopologiesThe array of grid topologies to verify.
[in,out]pTopoStatusThe array of problems and warnings with each grid topology.
[in]gridCountThe number of elements in the pGridTopologies and pTopoStatus arrays.
