Re: Capture window in the wrong place

["Thomas Helzle" <xsi(at)screendream.de>]

This has always been the case as long as I can remember. Often you only have Software-OpenGL on the second monitor in dual screen mode which drags down everything massively. Since most graphics cards only have one OpenGL engine, this makes a lot of sense to me. Only a mode like horizontal span is able to work with one big unified screen area.
This is the same for every 3D app and has nothing to do with XSI, but with the hardware from Nvidia and ATI etc.

The other thing you may want to look into with Nvidia cards is disabling the View Manager to speed up performance even more. Depending on the 3Dsoftware this can help quite a bit.

Cheers!
