3.3.1 Multi-Display Support
Your AMD Radeon™ R9 380 Series graphics card provides display functionality for up
to six displays through AMD Eyefinity multi-display technology and any combination
of the following:
•
First three displays can be connected to any display connection on your graphics
card.
•
Additional displays must be connected to the DisplayPort connection either
natively or through an active DisplayPort adapter.
Multiple DisplayPort displays can also be connected to a DisplayPort connection
through a DisplayPort 1.2 Multi-Stream Transport (MST) hub or daisy-chain
configuration.
Hubs and displays in this setup must be capable of the DisplayPort 1.2 standard.
The following table shows some examples of multiple display configurations; (A)
indicates an active adapter is used and (P) indicates a passive adapter is used. Display
abbreviations are DP = DisplayPort, dDVI-D = dual-link DVI-D, dDVI-I = dual-link DVI-
I.
