Am I hallucinating?

tomshardware tested it already


I am wondering if you can use two per card (2x dp) or maybe with eyefinity card x6 - 24 monitors

As far as I'm aware, you can still only use 6 monitors at max. The eyefinity pipe line only has 6 display pipes. The only way to get more than six is to use splitters (such as the TH2Go or mView).

Anyone know where to order them in the USA, or what online store ships to USA.

So why do we need a external adapter for 5V ? USB does 0.5A and if you have powered USB 1.5A, and you could user the power from 2 USB Ports... so this thing is not gonna drain more than 15W is it ?

Or do they think most user's only have 1Power Port so 7.5W is not enough? And two normal Ports would only give 5W....




Does that mean you can plug 3 Monitors and daisy chain the 4th monitor to the 3rd in 1920x1080 ?

If its using 3.3v then I should imagine that the 5v from usb, or even from DP its self would be suffcient, or hell, even a combination of the both much like the DL-active adaptors.

Id almost be tempted to mod a SATA power cable for a solid 3.3v, going to have more than enough juice.

ok...ok...wait a minute......


Is this finally my 20x30x20 PLP solution?


Questions:

1) I have an ATI 6970, can I use it? It has miniDP, or do I have to use a full sized DP from the card?

2) With this enabled, can I create an eyefinity group in PLP?

3) Do i have to use eyefinity? Or will it just run everything on 3 screens on its own.

Man I hope this is what I have been waiting for!!!

1) IIRC 6970 supports DP1.2 So if you use Mini DP or normal DP doesn't matter! There are Adapters from Mini to Normal

2) No!

3) It shows up as Normal Monitors! Not like the Zotac mini DP -> Dual HDMi Adapter which creates one huge Surface!

+1 what Haldi said.

Think of this like a USB hub, but for monitors using DP.

Have been waiting so long for this hub, like many others i presume.
But now it seems i need 2 of these to enable 5x1P (and hopefully 5x1P+1) with my 6970.
And with most games being so demanding i better get a 7970/7990 first...

Remarkable its a Dutch company to first deliver the long awaited MST hub
