ATI 780G boards with VGA, DVI, and HDMI

ATI 780G boards with VGA, DVI, and HDMI connections, can you actually connect 3 monitors in a "tri-view" setup? Or are the DVI and HDMI connections shared in a sense?

I think you can only use one of the 2 digital connections at a time... Don't quote me on that, I don't know.

You can have D-Sub & DVI-D or D-Sub & HDMI but not DVI-D & HDMI and therefore not Tri-view.

Indeed. That also goes for boards with component outputs or displayport - you're limited to one analog and one digital video output simultaneously; no combination of two analog or two digital will work.

Thanks for the clarification!

As was reported above, only one d-sub + one other combination is currently supported on ati chipset boards. Four monitors (three digital) are possible with another ati gpu.

Intel now has a chip set that'll handle dual digital - in fact, they've dropped d-sub support on this board.
