is it possible to support more than 10 monitors ? #37

I am looking to create remote workplaces using a program called ASTER and it support up to 12 workplaces and up to 16 with beta version. I tried the current driver and i was able to use 9 virtual monitors to create 9 remote workplaces. So, can this driver be made to support more than 10 monitors? |

Hi! From what I'm reading, I don't think that's possible. From what I can gather, the OS has a hard limit on how many total displays are possible. On Windows, this appears to be 10 total. But I need to do more research into it; it's hard to find actual conclusive answers to this question. So this is not a hard answer until I investigate it. So I can't completely say yes or no until I do some debugging/research |

I have tried another virtual monitor driver which could create upto 16 virtual monitors So I think the hard limit is higher than 10 monitors and may be 16 or even more. |

I will test it out later (To answer your question, the driver doesn't actually have a limit for anything. No limit on resolution, refresh rates, or number of monitors. It's just a hard limit coded into the control app, cause I figured 10 is more than enough) |

@psychrabi Tested it out. I can increase this. Thing is, Windows sets a hard limit still, so infinite monitors is not possible, also, a computer's hardware can only handle so many displays. Even on a 3080Ti I can feel some slowdown due to this (this is NOT the drivers fault) I also want to note that the limit of monitors is actually a TOTAL amount in the entire system. I'll account for this fact in my gui next time by only allowing MAX-current number of physical monitors Do you have hardware that can handle that kind of load? (Also a sidenote, but the driver you linked to has a critical bug in its processing which causes insane slowdown with > 1 monitor - a bug which is not present in my driver) |

Thabk you for testing it and looking forward to next release And, Yes I do have system I can test the so many virtual monitors. And yes the driver has major bug when using with nvidia cards. |
