I am examining some ATI Radeon cards, 3850-4830 to buy, and I would like a dual display support.
Do many of these cards support dual displays, even though they have varying output connectors? For instance, there is one card with HDMI, DVI, and VGA connectors. I did read the manual, and it apparently supports it.
It that the case with chipsets, if the chipset supports it, all the cards will? Or do the card manufacturers have to support it themselves? Is this common to support dual displays with different output connectors?
I was narrowing cards down before just just seeing if there were two identical output connectors.
One manufacturer, Powercolor just copied and pasted the chip specs from ATI, and the section that covered "ATI AvivoTMHD Video and Display Platform" has a endnote 1 with it but is mismatched while the endnote from ATI says "ATI AvivoTM HD is a technology platform that includes a broad set of capabilities offered by certain ATI RadeonTM HD GPUs. Not all products have all features and full enablement of some ATI AvivoTM HD capabilities may require complementary products."
