3D Graphics Window Size

[JohnDorian]

How will the window size and the number of windows affect stress testing? Could any adverse affects occur if running multiple windows, alongside other tests?

Is the system stressed more with a larger size window?

I looked through the documentation, but couldn't find this information there.

Larger window(s) will result in higher resolution and place more load on the graphics card.

Multiple windows are really only of use if you have multiple monitors (multiple monitors are sometimes driven by separate video cards). So it is a way of testing multiple cards.

Great. Thanks for the info, David.

Is there a recommended window size? It was originally set to default, but I was thinking about increasing it to 800x600.
