Hazro WC - Work connected to DP-DVI adapter?

msaunders · 29 Aug 2011 at 14:26

Hi

Anyone got a Hazro WC model connected to a DP-DVI adapter ? Does it have to be an active or passive adapter ? I tried it earlier and got no signal to the monitor .

Cheers
Martin.

Why not just use DVI to DVI or does your setup preclude that?

The 69xx series of cards only has one DVI out and 5 DP outs ....

Most HD 69xx series cards have 2 DVI outputs apart from the HD 6990.

Out of curiosity which card do you have with 1 DVI and 5 miniDP outputs?

I assume your DP outputs are miniDP to fit on the card.

If you're already using the DVI for something else then according to AMD you need an active miniDP to dual link DVI-D adapter.

Or you could use an active DP to dual link DVI-D adapter along with a miniDP to DP adapter.

You need a dual link adapter otherwise you won't be able to run the monitor at 2560x1440.

I have the HIS 6990 . I have a dual screen setup already ( 2 x Samsung 245B) and I am using 1 x DVI and 1 x miniDP > DVI adapter ..... think its a passive one but I am not sure . I have an active one here alright but not sure its working .

Just tested the active adapter and its not working either .

I thought the HIS HD 6990 only had 4 miniDP connectors?

Anyway, perhaps you should try connecting the Samsungs using the DP adapters and the Hazro with the DVI connection.

I'm not sure how your setup would work in Eyefinity as I thought all the monitors had to operate at the same resolution. Perhaps I'm wrong?

It works fine over DP to dual link dvi, as it should (apple model on an m18x). Passive/active single links won't work.

I am replacing the Samsung monitors with 2 x Hazro . I just got one initially to see if I like it with the Glass front etc . I will then buy a second so I will just have 2 x Hazro connected and I need to use one of the DP connections .

What kind of connector/cable are you using so ?

I said it in the post

, I was using an apple dp to dual link.

oh sorry

Hmmm , bleh !

Those adapters are like £100+

Does HDMI or DP support 2560x1440 e.g the connections on the WA or WD screens ?

Surveyor · 30 Aug 2011 at 11:04

Dual link DVI or DisplayPort definately support 2560x1440, I don't think HDMI does.

FYI:

WA - 1 x Dual Link DVI-D [HDCP], 1 x HDMI, 2 x VGA
WB - 1 x Dual Link DVI-D
WC - 1 x Dual Link DVI-D
WD - 1 x Dual Link DVI-D [HDCP], 1x DisplayPort, 2 x HDMI, 1 x VGA

OcUK sell the WC and WD screens.
