Different types of displays can be combined within the following parameters:

•

Your AMD FirePro W5000 has two clocks.

•

Two displays connected with active adaptors (active single-link DVI, dual-link

DVI, and VGA) can share a clock, while displays connected with passive adaptors

(passive single-link DVI and HDMI) require a separate clock per device.

•

DisplayPort 1.2 connections supporting DisplayPort Multi-stream technology

can connect to multiple DisplayPort devices.

•

Monitors connected via passive adapters must all have the same resolution and

refresh rate.

The following table shows some examples of multiple display configurations for the

AMD FirePro W5000 graphics card with three connections; (A) indicates an active

adapter is used and (P) indicates a passive adapter is used. Display abbreviations are

DP = DisplayPort, sDVI = single-link DVI, and dDVI = dual-link DVI.

Note: Adapters mentioned here may not be included with your AMD FirePro

product.
