24 Display Configurations
Display Configurations
Display support is only available through the CrossFire™ Interconnect
cable when CrossFire™ is active. This arrangement ensures the highest
possible performance. When CrossFire™ is active other display devices
connected to the other DVI or VGA connections on the Master and Slave
graphics cards are rendered inactive.
If additional displays are required when CrossFire™ is active, please use
either SurroundView™ (for more information see the SurroundView™
manual) or an additional PCI graphics card.
Connecting Your Monitors for Multiple Display
The Radeon® X850 CrossFire Edition can support up to four displays
when CrossFire™ is not enabled and when the Master card is not connected
to the Slave graphics card. The illustration below shows possible display
connections to the Radeon® X850 CrossFire Edition graphics card.
Display devices can also be added to the Slave graphics card. For specific
display support information see the user’s guide that came with your Slave
graphics card.
Note:
While two display connections are displayed below, three is
possible by attaching an additional display to the unused DVI
connection on the Slave graphics card. Up to five displays can be used
if your motherboard contains integrated graphics capabilities in
conjunction with SurroundView™.
