Quad-Monitor Configuration

4-TFT Configuration
Monitor 1:	On-board - VGA
Monitor 2:	On-board - DVI
Monitor 3:	Graphics Card - DVI
Monitor 4:	Graphics Card - VGA

Connecting four TFT monitors

Configuring the four monitors in Windows

Settings in ATI's driver.

The test system with four displays attached.

A Windows desktop measuring 5120 pixels in width.

Both DVI and HDMI support the HDCP copy protection system used by Blu-ray and HD-DVD media. Thus, an HDCP-capable TFT without an HDMI interface can be used on the DVI interface. One such TFT is the Samsung SyncMaster 245B we use in the lab for tests and reviews.

I would like to know can i run a video card with this mother board,with all the high demand for great video quality in these new video games such as Crysis, BioShock, Jericho and many others that require a high end video card how am i suppose to play these games without one

You just put in any PCI-E video card in the X-16 slot. With the appropriate processor and beefy enough video card, games are not a problem. The real beauty is that the onboard video is plenty for casual, older games at acceptable rates and also makes for a great low power HD media center computer.

I do not get it, how come 2600XT is more faster than 3450 ? I thought 3450 is newer than 2600XT. Please explain

What about the northbridge overheating issue everyone is talking about? I've bought this board only to find out it has idle temps of 80C at the northbridge. I'm planning on buying an after market cooler to stabilize it.

gerro1977,

What revision is your board? I just received this board and it's the new revision 1.1 which has a bigger heatsink (you can see the pictures from the gigabyte site for both revisions 1.0 and 1.1). I am getting my CPU soon and want to also check the northbridge temperatures. What can I use to measure the temps?

Thanks
