Sapphire Eyefinity developed without DisplayPort (computerbase.de June 4, 2010) ATi has the technology Eyefinity a very interesting technology to the market, as it is possible with only a graphics card to control simultaneously for three separate monitors. However Eyefinity has an annoying drawback. And it is relevant for three monitors that one of the display is connected via the DisplayPort standard. And there is really only the operation of three identical monitors makes sense, you need three DisplayPort devices that are often more expensive than the variants without the new connectivity standard. Another alternative is an active display port adapter, but this will cost € 100 quickly. Sapphire has recognized this and is now developing a Radeon HD 5770, which can also control three monitors simultaneously without a display port. This is possible in which the manufacturer quite simply built an active DVI to DP adapter on the board. |

Can you use a ‘Thunderbolt to hdmi adapter’ to use AMD eyefinity technology on a HD radeon 7850 card on a pc?
I understand that Thunderbolt is an apple flavor on Intel’s display port technology.
Active mini display port to hdmi adapters seem to cost a lot more, is there a difference?
I never see the word ‘active’ used when reading up on thunderbolt adapters, confused. I know I need the adapter to be active not passive.
- hdmi
- eyefinity
Thunderbolt is a combination of PCI express and DisplayPort.
To use eyefinity you need at least two screens to join. None of these needs to be displayport, but you obviouslu do need more than one screen else there is nothing to join with.
Now to the active/passive part and the actual answer.
On most PC’s eyefinity is used with 3 screens (mostly used for games and two screens mean that many popups, cross-hairs etc in right in the middle of the two screens. Which is annoying.
Most PC cards come with two DVI and a DP port, or DVI, HDMI (which is a kind of DVI plus sound) and DP. To use a third monitor you would need the DP port.
Now here comes the catch: DP adaptors come in two flavours. One which actually does things and is more expensive and one which is simpler, but can not do a few things. The last is a passive adaptor and eyefinity does not work with it.
However you already start with Displayport (in the Thunderbolt connector). There is no need to convert anything. Simply connect a cable from the Thunderbolt port to the DP port on a monitor and you are fine.
Now if you have an older monitor without DP in then you would need to actively convert the DP port to a DVI or HDMI connection. A passive ‘cable’ will not do for this.

The SAPPHIRE HD 5770 FleX graphics card is based on a 40nm graphics chip from ATI, a division of AMD Corporation.
It supports DirectX 11 technology, on which the latest PC games are based.
SAPPHIRE HD 5770 FleX allows you to connect three monitors in ATI Eyefinity mode and is able to provide a Single Large Surface (abbreviated as SLS) image without the use of additional adapters. Most similar solutions allow you to connect only two DVI monitors, and the third one must have a DisplayPort video input.
SAPPHIRE HD 5770 FleX allows you to connect two DVI monitors directly, and a third DVI monitor can be connected to the HDMI port using the included adapter. This means that by purchasing this graphics adapter, the buyer will not have to pay extra for additional adapters.
The SAPPHIRE HD 5770 FleX graphics card has 800 stream processors and 1 gigabyte of GDDR5 video memory. The graphics core runs at 850 MHz and the memory at 1200 MHz (4800 MHz effective). The heatpipes provide excellent heat dissipation, and the self-cleaning dust fan does not make much noise even when the graphics card is under full load.
The SAPPHIRE HD 5770 FleX graphics adapter delivers outstanding performance in DirectX 10.1, DirectX 10 and DirectX 9 games, as well as unleashing the full potential of DirectX 11 technology (amazing levels of detail, transparency and lighting effects). Dynamic Power Management technology minimizes graphics card power consumption during idle. The
SAPPHIRE HD 5770 FleX has a built-in hardware Unified Video decoder (UVD for short) that takes over most of the load while watching Blu-ray and HD DVD video at 1080p resolution with VC-1, H.264, MPEG codecs. It also supports transparent Windows Aero graphics and HDMI version 1.3a with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.
The SAPPHIRE HD 5770 FleX graphics adapter fully supports Microsoft DirectX 11, including Direct Compute 11 instructions, hardware tessellation, and multithreaded CPU communication. All this allows you to accelerate physical simulations, rendering images and converting video files. These benefits are achieved with ATI’s WHQL-certified drivers.

FAQ
Q: I only get 4K @ 30Hz when using the KS-is KS-534 adapter. How can I get 4K @ 120Hz?
Answer:
There are several different reasons why a 4K display will be limited to 4K at 30Hz with our adapter. We recommend checking first:
The DisplayPort output must be DP 1.4 compliant to get 4K @ 120Hz with HDR or DP1.2 for 4K @ 30Hz without HDR.
System specifications to ensure that the internal GPU can support 4K at 120Hz and the output port on the system/GPU can support 4K at 120Hz.
Monitor specifications to ensure it can support 4K @ 120Hz from the desired input port. HDMI input ports must comply with the HDMI 2.1 specification.
For HDR to work, the source system must support DisplayPort 1.4 and the screen must support HDR and/or HDMI 2.1.
Make sure your HDMI cable is HDMI 2.1 compliant.
If both the system’s GPU, DisplayPort out port, and monitor both claim to support 4K @ 120Hz, please check your Windows Advanced Display Adapter settings to ensure 120Hz is available and selected from the drop down list.
If 120Hz is not listed and you are connected to our adapter with an HDMI 2.1 cable, double check if your monitor has HDMI 2.1 ports. In addition, some 4K TVs and monitors must support «HDMI 2.1», «HDMI UHD Color», or «Ultra HD/UHD Deep Color» (or equivalent) for 4K @ 120Hz to work over HDMI. Refer to the monitor’s instruction manual and check the monitor’s menu settings to see if there are suitable settings.
KS-is adapter is really active. Instead of relying on TMDS signaling over DisplayPort dual mode, the adapters actively convert outgoing DisplayPort LVDS packets into the required TMDS signaling. With an internal clock speed of up to 594MHz, our adapters support all the required HDMI 2.1 features up to 4K @ 120Hz with HDR, stereoscopic 3D support and greater color depth.
Q: Does the KS-534 KS-534 adapter support AMD Eyefinity settings other than dual monitors?
Yes! AMD Eyefinity allows you to connect up to two «legacy» displays (HDMI, DVI or VGA).
The third connection must be a native DisplayPort, i.e. not Dual-Mode/DP++ carrying an HDMI signal (since that would be considered one of the two «legacy» displays). With our active adapter, the graphics card will not need to use one of the legacy connections, instead it will access it as a native DisplayPort display. (Note: on AMD, their graphics cards support a maximum of two active adapters.)
Q: Does the KS-534 adapter support 4:4:4 color/chroma sampling?
Yes! Our adapter supports 4:4:4 chroma sampling at 4K resolution at 120Hz and 8-bit color depth (8 bits per channel). Keep in mind that the connected display must also support 4:4:4 color depth, and the HDMI cable must support HDMI 2.1 when connected to the HDMI 2.1 input port on the display.
Question: Does your adapter support HDR?
Our adapter supports HDR (high dynamic range) imaging. HDMI 2.0b is the minimum specification for HDR support.
Q: What HDR standards are supported?
Our adapter supports High Dynamic Range (HDR) standards: Dolby Vision HDR, HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG.
