My new G5 (dual 2.0, early 2005, pci model) has a Radeon 9650 card.
Before I spring for an ADC to DVI adapter, just wanted to check here.
Does the Radeon 9650 support 2 displays? Not mirrored, but regular
duals?
I have a G5 2.7 DP, Early 2005, with its Radeon 9650 card (dual DVI
output).
I confirm it drives two monitors beautifully. :-)
Why making a card with two display ports...
and not driving two monitors...? ;-)
I read ADC adapters could be espensive (in the past), though.
DOH!!. It helps if I actually look at the card as installed. 2 DVI
ports. My mind was clouded with the view of the FX5200 in the other
G5 I picked up for my coworker (dual 1.8 pci-x) that had a DVI and ADC.
I know that many older cards had 2 connectors that were for either/or
but not both at 1 time. The Radeon 7000s were like that. DVI and VGA
(and S-video), but IIRC, could only drive one monitor at a time.
Thanks all,
Len
ps, Just finished cloning a Sawtooth to the Dual 1.8 and it booted
fine with no issues.
