nDisplayLauncher UI Reference

Render API

Specifies the rendering API to use the next time you click Run .

Render mode

Specifies the type of output nDisplay produces on every cluster node.

• Mono - a single monoscopic rendering of the scene from the point of view of the camera.

• Frame sequential - active quad buffer stereo.

• Side-by-side - passive horizontally aligned stereo.

• Top-bottom - passive vertically aligned stereo.

Mono does not require any specific hardware features, but frame sequential does. Make sure your display device, GPU and diver settings are compatible with the render mode you choose.

Use All Available Cores

Forces each Unreal Engine instance to use all available processors on its host.
When this option is selected, the nDisplay Launcher adds the USEALLAVAILABLECORES option to the command line it uses to launch each instance.

No Texture Streaming

Disables texture streaming for each Unreal instance. Highest quality textures are always loaded.
When this option is selected, the nDisplay Launcher adds the NOTEXTURESTREAMING option to the command line it uses to launch each instance.
