Title: GA-H55M - Multiple Monitors via onboard video ports
Post by: snowfly on October 13, 2010, 12:25:00 pm

Hi,

Does anyone know how many monitors can be run at the same time via the onboard video ports of the following motherboards (using a graphics supported CPU like the intel i3 530)

GA-H55M-UD2H
GA-H55M-USB3
GA-H57M-USB3

All 3 boards have 4 video outputs: D-SUB, DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort.

Can 2, 3, or 4 monitors be run simultaneously?

Thanks

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.
I believe that it is two outputs are available at any one time. Also remember that you can't use adapters on the ports.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

I was assuming only 2 outputs, but was being optimistic and wishing for 3!

Anyone have one of the 3 mentioned boards and running multiple displays?

Actually I have just checked through the documentation and nowhere does it actually say that you are limited to 2 ports once in the OS.  There are limitation in the BIOS viewing of only one digital port available but I can't find any referrence to using multipe ports after that. I think a question to GGTS would be best just to clarify the situation.
