SAPPHIRE Solves Eyefinity Issue with Active DisplayPort Adapter

jmke · 20th December 2009, 11:47

A feature of the latest SAPPHIRE HD 5000 series of graphics cards is the new ATI Eyefinity mode, which enables games and other applications to be run on three screens treated as one continuous display area. Now with the SAPPHIRE Eyefinity adapter, standard DVI monitors can be used for all three screens.

In addition to spectacular image clarity, speed and visual effects, the SAPPHIRE HD 5000 series supports the new multi-monitor mode known as ATI Eyefinity. This allows a single GPU to display a choice of images over an array of several monitors. The cards in this series support up to three monitors, with a resolution of up to 7680 x 1600. This opens up exciting possibilities not just for multi-screen gaming, but also for information systems, multimedia systems and promotional displays.

It's nice that Sapphire is putting their name on that BizLink adapter, but that's all it's doing. It's another case of rebranding, as this adapter is also sold by other brands, like Dell, Sewell and Accell.
