Using Multiple Displays

Display Configurations

To ensure the highest possible performance, only one display device is

supported when CrossFire™ is active. When CrossFire™ is active other

display devices connected to the other DVI connections on both 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.

Your Radeon®X1950 Pro graphics card provides hardware support for two

DVI-I monitors and a VGA monitor using the supplied DVI-I-to-VGA

adapter. It also provides TV output via the S-video connection in composite,

S-video, and component TV formats.
