New Mac Pro with Triple Graphic Out

[samsc]

Hey there,

will there be an upgrade to V4 so that with the new ATI 5770/5870 Graphic-Cards which will be installed in the new Mac Pros (available August 2010) it might be possible to output to 3 devices or will it still stay with 2?

Cheers

Marc

using triple heads and dual heads it been possible to do 4-6 outputs since 2005-

so this wont change anything-

i believe the card seems to have 2x pain in the a** mini display ports - for double un-joy.

how this works with triple heads remains unknown- as does pricing and availability.

I dont think he was referring to the use of triple heads and dual heads... i think he was asking if there would be a software change in catalyst to support a 3rd actual output... so a screen 3 output in addition to the existing one and two if that makes sense. This would enable a control screen and 2 more full screen outputs WITHOUT the use of a DHTG or THTG...

exact!!!
that was my idea

or even use 3 x TH2G when no control monitor is needed

If you want to do 9 Outputs from Catalyst then try one of these:

I got two of these for a nightclub install, attached them to both outputs of Catalyst that had 3 LFG4 card.

It was a switcher/router/media server I setup with 12 inputs 12 A-B playbacks, and 18 outputs. Of course the everything was 640x480.

Richard, is there any way to get 2x 1920 by 1080 or 3x 1280 by 720 outputs from a TH2G? Currently, I only few output resolutions option on Catalyst but the ratio is not what I want.

i know about the TH2G solution...
just thought about 3 x TH2G ;-)

and yes... it has 2 mini-display-ports...
never used a TH2G on it...
anyone has tried this before?
not on this card, on any actual available cards like GT120

Just bought a server-panel from Pro System Groups (German Distributor for Catalyst, hi Mike ;-) ), with that panel you can use the mini-display-port in combination with the TH2G.

They are also making a new version with 1 x DVI and 2 mini-display-ports for the new MacPros

My TH2G did not work on a mini-display port but I wonder if it will if I got myself a Mini Display Port to Dual Link DVI Adpater for Apple?Has anyone done it yet?

YES.
I use the DUAL Link MDP-DVI on my Mac Mini Cats and My 2009 4870 Macs. It's a major pain in the A$$
