Dual DVI & TV

[Evildead666]

It has a two display controller.
The third head on the Parhelia is special, and will only work for triple head in gaming

Surely it does not need a RAMDAC for DVI output

why shouldn't it be possible? G400 family only had 1 ramDAC and could output to 1 screen and 1 tv at the same time.

sice the card only has 2 ramdacs this is also impossible on the chip level i guess.

From what i can find Dual DVI and TV out has only been spoke about in terms of the currently released board, not the chipset.

Anyway its not that easy to search for things when the main words your are looking for 'DVI' and 'TV' are both too short to be searched for.

[P5ycho]

no, it does not. maybe you can search on the subject because this has been asked many times before.

Hi,
Does anyone know if the Parhelia chip will support 2 DVI flat panels and TV out.

Looking at the Chip Block Diagram i dont see why it shouldnt.

I understand the current 128MB card does not but if the chip is capable of this then could we see it in a future card?

If a future card could support this then it would give a really useful feature to a lot of multimedia producers, as at present if you dont play games there is not really any reason to upgrade from a Dual DVI G550 to the Parhelia.
