NVIDIA RTX Desktop Manager
Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NVIDIA RTX^™ Desktop Manager?

NVIDIA RTX Desktop Manager is a rebrand of NVIDIA Quadro View, a desktop-management application that helps you be more productive when working on your Windows desktop. You can define custom regions on your desktop and easily snap application windows into those regions, as well as create custom user profiles that organize your windows and applications on launch. NVIDIA RTX Desktop Manager also includes windows-management tools and hotkey support for quick feature access to further maximize productivity.
How is NVIDIA RTX Desktop Manager different from NVIDIA Quadro View and its predecessor nView^®?

NVIDIA RTX Desktop Manager is simply a rebrand of the existing Quadro View application. When compared to the previous generation nView application, NVIDIA RTX Desktop Manager uses a redesigned user interface to make it easier for users to quickly locate and implement the desktop management features. It has incorporated the most commonly used tools and features from nView to streamline less-frequently used features. Windows snapping has also been enhanced with easily identifiable drop zone overlays on the screen.
If I’m a current Quadro View user, should I update to NVIDIA RTX Desktop Manager?

In general, it’s advisable to update to the latest application. Subsequent development activities after the rebranding of the existing Quadro View application will offer new features and enhanced capabilities that won’t be backported into previous versions of Quadro View.
If I’m a current nView user, should I update to NVIDIA RTX Desktop Manager?
