Choosing the multiple screen video card that is best for you.

2D and 3D multi-monitor graphics users are growing at an incredible rate. This is due in part to the fact that operating systems and software applications are using more and more video real estate for tool bars, application tools, and desk top interfaces. CAD users, desktop publishers, financial institutions, and many other user groups are utilizing multi-screen technology. Below is a chart of all the most popular video cards which are designed to support 2D and 3D applications and run under Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, NT, Mac, Unix, and Linux operating systems. Choosing the card that is right for you is largely determined by the type of work you will be doing on your computer, how many screens you wish to run, and which operating system you run.

ATI FireMV ATI FireMV™ multi-view 2D workstation acceleration cards are designed exclusively for the financial and corporate marketplaces. Offering dual and quad monitor cards based on the PCI and PCI Express bus architecture, FireMV™ products ensure system compatibility and investment protection. Look to the FireMV™ series to realize these core benefits:

Reliability

Stability

Flexibility

User-friendly software

Direct user support

Lower power consumption

Space efficient low profile design

Product longevity

Maximum Flexibility in a Unique, Compact Design

The FireMV™ series of professional 2D graphics cards boasts innovative low profile dual monitor design which means that all FireMV cards will fit into both Low Profile and Full Height systems. This enables integration into a wide range of machines with a smaller number of cards to qualify. The same applies for the new low profile FireMV™ quad monitor cards - their super space efficient architecture lets you choose even the smallest systems – including docking stations – and still be able to achieve simultaneous output to four displays.

Docking stations from companies like IBM and DELL offer desktop expansion solutions to notebook configurations through a single PCI slot. Please refer to IBM or DELL for more information.

The FireMV™ design utilizes passive cooling for a higher mean time between failures (MTBF) providing greater reliability. Its inherently lower power consumption helps reduce the overall power load without sacrificing performance—an increasingly important benefit to sites with a large installed user base.

More memory, stability and flexibility

FireMV™ cards feature either 32 MB, 64MB, or 128MB of dedicated on-board memory for each display to enable maximum stability and unparalleled performance (total on-board memory ranges from 64MB to 256MB depending on product configuration). To provide added flexibility, dual and quad FireMV™ cards can be combined to drive even more displays. Every FireMV™ card, including the quad versions, also meet the industry’s highest standards for resolution:
