OFMG :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

so 6 displays from 2x mini DP , + 2x additional @ DVI ??
8 displays total ?WTF OMG BBQ? :twisted:

Support for DisplayPort 1.2 Multi-Stream.... very WIN!
Ive yet to look into DisplayPort 1.2 tech in detail, however for the multistream to work, I would expect that the monitor would need to be compatible with DisplayPort1.2 and sport a DP output connector in order to daisy chain.

So, as some one who is still planning but still hasn't got around to setting up a six screen setup and was planning on an Eyefinity 6 card, I can still get my six screens from this?

But...

Do the DP monitors need to support daisy chaining or is there some way to break out those outputs?

Any monitors curently out that support DP daisy chaining?

With multiple monitors off each DP output, are the other outputs on the card still active?

Multi Stream Transport allows one DisplayPort output to link to up to three DisplayPort displays, either via a daisy-chain or via a forthcoming MST hub (which will actually allow you to connect up to four screens over any display standard). According to AMD, ‘the DisplayPort 1.2 hubs are expected to be available sometime in 2011. No cost has been determined, but we’re confident that they will be affordable, and enable a more cost effective solution for multi-display gaming than current competing solutions that require two cards.’ Rumour has it that the hubs will only be on sale well into next year and will cost around $150.

That part is really cool, but it gets better. The new display controllers are completely independent from each other. The 'old way', circa the dark ages (2009), forced you to have all displays be the same rez, refresh rate, and everything else. If you had two of one monitor and one of another, you had to pick which one that looked bad, or simply didn't work.

The new controllers allow you to do whatever you want, however you want, and it just works. All screens can be run at completely different resolutions, refresh rates, orientations, and even color corrected separately. That is hugely impressive and extremely flexible, not to mention practical and useful.

This could be good news:
