Display Adapters (Optional Accessories)
The following illustrates the adapters you can use to connect the graphics card to
other display devices not directly supported by the connection types available on
the graphics card.
Adapter
Description
DVI-to-VGA
DVI-to-HDMI
The HDMI adapter is a proprietary adapter manufactured and sold
by approved manufacturers (like Wieson Technologies Co., Ltd.)
that has a specific detection mechanism to allow properly
configured graphics cards to pass HDMI signals through a DVI
connection to an HDMI compliant device.
7-pin HDTV output cable
Supported Display Connections
To ensure the highest possible performance, only one display device is supported
when ATI CrossFireX™ is active. When ATI CrossFireX is active, other display
devices connected to the other connections on both graphics cards are rendered
inactive.
If additional displays are required when ATI CrossFireX is active, use either
SurroundView (included on the installation CD, custom software install), or an
additional graphics card.
The graphics card provides hardware support for DVI-I and VGA monitors, and
HDMI HDTVs (using a DVI-to-HDMI adapter). It also provides TV output.
