How do I configure three or more displays with my AMD Radeon™ HD graphics card?
For information on how to configure three or more displays using an AMD Radeon™ HD graphics card with AMD Eyefinity, please refer to following:
What multiple-screen configurations are available?
AMD Graphic Processing Units (GPU’s) have the capability of supporting more than one monitor or display at the same time; however, this is dependent on the connections available. Multiple monitor set-ups are configured through the AMD Catalyst™ Control Center or AMD Vision Engine Control Center.
The three multi-monitor modes are –
- Clone (Presentation) Mode
- In this mode, the same identical desktop is shown on both displays simultaneously. Both monitors will run at the same resolution and refresh rate.
- Clone mode is useful for presentations where one display is in front of the presenter and the other display is in front of the audience.
Note: Clone mode does not Clone displays that are on different graphics cards. Clone mode only works on displays that are connected to the same graphics cards.
- Extended Mode
- Each monitor is configured with separate settings (resolution, refresh rates, color quality). The Windows® desktop is extended between the two or more monitors (except for the task bar).
- In extended mode, the displays can be rotated between portrait and landscape view to maximize working desktop space.
- Eyefinity Group Mode
- The Windows desktop is stretched between two or more monitors and is treated as one large desktop complete with a Windows taskbar across all screens. The final resolution is the horizontal and vertical sum of the individual monitors.
- Example: 4 x monitors arranged in a 2 x 2 configuration and each running at 1280 X 1024 = desktop area now running at 2560 X 2048
Note: Eyefinity group mode is not available under the Microsoft® Windows XP operating system.
