Hello,
the new Cat 8.1 brings the so called Multiview feature providing "full hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering across multiple graphics adapters setup in an extended desktop display configuration." In short, MultiView "allows for a 3D [application] to have the same performance running on a secondary or third display device as if it were running on the primary display device."

What are your opinions about it?
Can it improve the SoftTH gaming experience ?
Does anybody own 2 AMD/ ATI vgas to test it?

ut2k4 has both d3d and opengl paths, ogl one is slower a bit but overall has faster response time since it's not as hardlinked into the shell. the quakes are all opengl that I know of.

fretsonfire is one too

hmm can't think of any other atm.

truthfully, I've always liked ogl better then dx, it's just visibly more stable to me, shame the MS behemoth has all but wiped out the use of it.

Plus you can usually play those games in linux or osx.

Savage 2 is also openGL, which everyone should play. Been waiting for quite a while for this game. Free trial client too!
