What is overlay?

[Bellweather]

When referring to Video Cards. What are some models that support overlay?

 

[Gunbuster]

It lets other boards (or programs?) take over a portion of the display
Like a hardware DVD decoder will be able to show video in a window

It's when you invite 3 chicks over to your house & they all sleep over,then you get overlay.:Q

In that case, I'm having problems getting &quot;overlay&quot; to function correctly

 

[Budman]

Yes that overlay feature goes very well with overcocking.

Hmm, I guess I'll have a problem close to what Budman is defining overlay to be since I'll have to share my apartment with 2 girls next year plus my girlfriend will sleep over a lot--that equals 3 chicks.

But yup, bascially overlay is bascially going to be supported by any &quot;recent&quot; card. My Voodoo3 3500 and 3000 supported it. I know the first generation TNT cards supported it...so on.

 

[Bellweather]

I've got the Kyro II, so I would be safe to assume it is supported?

 

[MasterHoss]

yes, very much so.
