Planning for additional monitors
Entry model
The HP Z2 Mini G3 Entry system supports up to three simultaneous displays running on the Intel integrated
GPU. Each display is capable of resolutions up to 4096 × 2160 @ 60 Hz.
It is also possible to drive a panel at a resolution of 5120 × 2880 @60 Hz by using two of the DisplayPort 1.2
outputs together. The panel must support this method of achieving this resolution for this to be possible.
Performance model
The HP Z2 Mini G3 Performance model is capable of operating in two distinct modes: NVIDIA GPU–only mode
or NVIDIA GPU + Intel GPU mode. The NVIDIA GPU–only mode oers the best performance, while the NVIDIA
GPU + Intel GPU mode allows the system to drive an additional two displays.
NVIDIA GPU–only mode:
●
The default conguration.
●
Oers the best performance because every DisplayPort 1.2 port is driven directly by the NVIDIA Quadro
GPU.
●
By combining DisplayPort outputs, capable of driving up to four independent displays at a maximum
resolution of 4096 × 2160 @ 60 Hz or two independent displays at a maximum resolution of 5120 ×
2880 @ 60 Hz. The display must support this method of achieving this resolution.
NVIDIA GPU + Intel GPU mode:
●
The NVIDIA GPU can support a maximum of four independent displays. To support an additional two
displays, the system can be congured to simultaneously use both the NVIDIA Quadro GPU and the Intel
integrated GPU.
●
This mode is congured in the system BIOS.
1. Press the power button on the system, and then repeatedly press the F10 key until you’ve reached
the system BIOS GUI.
2. Navigate to the Advanced tab.
3. Select Built-In Device Options.
4. Select Enable Intel graphics on DisplayPort port #4.
5. Press Enter to accept the prompt notifying you that the Intel GPU will be output on DisplayPort #4.
6. Press F10 to save your changes and exit.
●
This mode is capable of driving up to six independent displays.
◦
Because the system has only four DisplayPort 1.2 ports, two of the DisplayPort 1.2 ports must
each drive two displays in a daisy-chained conguration. This is accomplished by using DisplayPort
