Hovering the mouse over that button, says that the window is resizable by dragging the bottom right corner.<br /><br />Is it resizeable *smaller* than 1024x768 ? (which is what my screen/display settings is at).<br /><br />Clicking / dragging on the bottom right corner (after I moved the windows taskbar ;)) is not doing anything.<br /><br />MikeMike_Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17642891567281013600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042417775578107106.post-34210157419696116012010-01-27T11:18:37.637-05:002010-01-27T11:18:37.637-05:00Re: crossfire.

I am still declaring a GL surface (even if it is a windowed surface) so I don't see any reason why in principle I don't get Crossfire. (It may be in practice that the driver can't recognize or optimize this case.) <br /><br />But then cross-fire assumes that your app doesn't have expensive synchronization, inter-frame dependencies, dependent texture renders, etc. In other words, this is just one of many possible issues.<br /><br />As a side note, I'm not a huge fan of Crossfire/SLI - they strike me as a way to charge the very highest-end users even more money, and the cases I've looked at for previous-generation high-end paired cards vs. the next generation high-end single card implies that CF/SLI don't deliver a very good value or an even remotely good long term proposition.<br /><br />Of course, my app is batch bound, not fill bound, so I might be the wrong person to ask!Benjamin Supnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04886313844644521178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042417775578107106.post-46913266518902353572010-01-15T06:32:12.453-05:002010-01-15T06:32:12.453-05:00So then you don't get the performance boost of...So then you don't get the performance boost of Crossfire? In that regard aren't you loosing out on about a 40% framerate boost?
