Quoted:
That is Display Port. It is the newer of the video ports. All of our new systems at work come with them, think HDMI without audio. You can get a Display Port to VGA adapter for around $20 on Amazon but a DVI to VGA adapter would work also. Misconception on the without audio for Displayport. Many manufacturers don't implement it, but the capability is there. The Displayport spec allows for audio, video, audio+video, and or usb. IIRC, with that card, it's possible to use a Displayport monitor along with two DVI (or DVI-VGA) connected monitors, and run 3 up on one card (AMD Eyefinity). Not that I'd want to do that in D3 because...... Diablo 3 a single monitor only game. I guess having other windows open in a second monitor will be helpful, to an extent. |
