ABSTRACT:
A method of synchronizing, at a system frame display rate, a first set of frames displayed by a first monitor with a second set of frames by a second monitor, utilizes frame production rates of the two sets of frames to set the system frame display rate. More particularly, the first set of frames are produced at a first frame production rate by a first graphics engine, and the second set of frames are produced at a second frame production rate by a second graphics engine. The first frame production rate and second frame production rate first are compared to determine which frame production rate is slower. The system frame display rate then is set to be no greater than the slower of the two frame production rates.
