Connecting Displays - AMD Radeon R7 360 User Manual

8 Display Configuration
When connecting displays to a DisplayPort connection, the type of adapter and display
that you use may determine the number of displays that can be used with your
graphics card.
An active adapter allows a non-DisplayPort display to be connected a
•
DisplayPort connection using DisplayPort signals.
A passive adapter also allows a non-DisplayPort display to be connected to a
•
DisplayPort connection but using non-DisplayPort signals.
Transmission of audio and video information between variants of the same
•
connection type (for example, Mini DisplayPort to standard DisplayPort and vice
versa) are considered to be native, active connections.
More information on the number and type of displays that can be supported by your
graphics card is provided in the following sections.

3.3 Connecting Displays

The AMD Radeon™ R7 360 graphics card provides hardware support for up to six
displays and can support Ultra HD resolutions via the DisplayPort and HDMI
connections.
Up to six DisplayPort displays can be connected and controlled independently using
DisplayPort 1.2 multi-stream transport (MST) hubs or daisy-chain configurations.
Hubs and displays in this setup must be capable of the DisplayPort 1.2 standard.
The following table lists options for attaching displays to your graphics card. The types
of display configurations that can be used depend on the display connections that are
available on your graphics card.
For best graphics performance and quality, always use native connections, when
available.
Note: Adapters/dongles that are not provided with your graphics cards can also be
purchased from AMD's Web site or through your local AMD resellers.
