Can my video card run 3 displays?

[flibberdipper]

I have the HIS IceQ Radeon HD 6570 1GB, and I was wondering if I could run three displays off it. It has one DVI, one HDMI, and one VGA. And if I do, will I be able to use the audio on the HDMI signal (with a TV)?

[jamese669]

yes but would probley run ever so terribly

[WoodenMarker]

It could run up to 4 displays depending on the model.

Hey.

If you mean just separately, yes.

If you mean infinity erm...dont even try it won't be playable lol

 

And yes to the audio thing,

And yes to the audio thing,

"If you mean infinity erm...dont even try it won't be playable lol" Does better than my Grandma's A6-3650. Example:Hers in GTA: San Andreas = 800x600 max settings, no AA right at 25FPS.   Mine in GTA: San Andreas = 1024x768 max settings, full AA, about 45FPS average.

 

It'd be better, but still suck-tastic.

You can only run a max of two displays on that card.

It does not support "Eyefinity" or running more than two displays at a time.

I run 2 separate monitors off of integrated graphics on my i3-350, you can run 3 separately.

It's not like I'm going to be gaming with all three monitors. But where did you get that it doesn't run more than two?

It says on HIS's product info page for the IceQ Radeon HD 6570.

 

AMD designed the cards so that you need to have a DisplayPort for a third monitor. In your situation, you can't use the VGA, DVI and HDMI all at once.

This is an exception for some cards. For an example, Sapphire's special FleX edition GPUs. They are modified by sapphire so you don't need a DisplayPort to drive a third display.

 

A few years back I helped a relative install a HIS IceQ HD 6670 in their system. Just like your HD 6570, it has VGA, DVI, and HDMI output on the back. They thought you could run three displays with it. I said you can try....it didn't work.

I guess technically but you would have to run each monitor at like  720p> and lowest settings to get near playable frame rates in eyefinity.

Crap. Well, I guess I'll just use DVI and HDMI, and use the VGA port on my monitor for another computer. I like being able to switch between inputs.
