Part of the drive here is that both manufacturers are pushing triple-screen gaming as a key use for their high-end gaming cards.

Nvidia and AMD provide tools within their display drivers to help correct for the displays' bezels, which helps reduce the jarring effect of moving between displays. That's besides trying to physically align multiple bulky displays next to each other. The problem with multiple monitors is that often you're asking applications to work in an environment they were never designed for, and aren't expecting.

The integrated GPU was disabled automatically, but let a system support up to four displays once activated. All of this is on top of PCI Express's ability to support multiple graphics cards, even from a 1x lane connector.ĭon't become obsessed with add-in cards though - integrated graphics on recent motherboard chipsets will happily work alongside these.īack in 2007, the AMD 690/780 chipsets that offered SurroundView often had to be enabled within the BIOS. Interestingly AMD also offers the rather rarer Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6, which has six physical DisplayPort outputs. The latest high-end Nvidia 500 series and AMD 7/6000 range can drive four physical connections. The majority of cards still provide three, usually via DVI and either a DisplayPort or HDMI output.

These days life is easier, as the DAC element can be dumped and replaced with TMDS, which handles the job of encoding the digital display data into a robust digital serial signal fit for shooting along cheap DVI and HDMI cables.ĭespite the size of DVI connectors, the switch from analogue to digital has enabled card manufacturers to gradually increase the number of video outputs on a single card from two up to six. Those were happy days - a RAMDAC generated the analogue VGA output, and multiple monitors could be supported by adding more. Now you know where the monitors will go, how will you connect them? Once upon a time, graphics cards could only drive a single display.
