If your graphics card includes a DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort connection, you can

the following types of DisplayPort-compliant adapters/dongles with your graphics

card:

•

Adapters—Uses DisplayPort signals to transmit audio and video information

between variants of the same connection type (for example, Mini DisplayPort to

standard DisplayPort).

•

Active dongles—Allows connection from a DisplayPort connection to a non-

DisplayPort display using DisplayPort signals.

•

Passive dongles—Allows connection from a DisplayPort connection to a non-

DisplayPort display using non-DisplayPort signals.

The type of adapter/dongle used determines the number of displays that can be

supported by your graphics card. In general, more displays can be supported with

DisplayPort adapters and active dongles than with passive ones.
