Viewing the PC’s Display on TV or HDTV
The graphics card has TV out capability. You can attach the graphics card
to a TV and a monitor at the same time. If your graphics card has video
input capability, you can also connect it to a VCR and record the monitor’s
display.
Warning! IMPORTANT INFORMATION for European Customers.
Some PC monitors in Europe cannot be used simultaneously with TV
display. When you enable TV display in Europe, the refresh rate for
the monitor and TV is set to 50 Hz. Some monitors may not support
this refresh rate and could be damaged.
Check the documentation supplied with the monitor to see if the
monitor supports a refresh rate of 50 Hz. If the monitor does not
support 50 Hz (or if you are not sure), do not use your monitor as a
secondary display.
TV display is useful for giving presentations and watching movies, or
playing games on a screen larger than a typical monitor. The following tips
will help you get the most out of the TV out feature.
Using a Monitor vs. Using TV Display
Using the TV as the primary computer display can be useful; however, the
display on the monitor may change or looked squashed. This distortion
occurs because the display adjusts to fit the dimensions of the TV. To
correct the monitor display, use the monitor control buttons to adjust its
display size and position.
Some single-frequency monitors may not work with TV display enabled. If
you experience problems when TV display is enabled, disable TV display
to restore the monitor’s display.
18
Viewing Text on a TV
A TV is designed primarily to show moving images. The large dot pitch of
a TV will yield poor quality static images. The small text sizes commonly
used for PC desktops can appear blurred or unclear on a TV. You can
compensate for this degradation by using larger fonts.
Using a TV as the Only Display
If you plan to move the computer to a place where you are using TV display
only, make sure that you have the TV display feature enabled prior to
disconnecting the monitor.
The maximum display resolution for TV is 1024×768. Choosing a
resolution higher than this will cause the TV display to disappear if it is the
only display device.
Using Games and Applications
Some older games and applications may instruct the graphics card to run
under a specific display mode. This may cause the TV display to turn off
automatically or become scrambled (the PC monitor or LCD display will
not be affected). The TV display will be restored once you exit the game or
if you restart the computer.
Connecting to a TV, VCR, or HDTV
You can connect the graphics card to a TV, HDTV, or VCR in several
ways, depending on the inputs the TV supports. To ensure the highest
quality graphics, choose the connection available that provides the best
signal.
Connections supported, in descending order of quality:
• HDMI™ (available on HDTV only)
• DVI (available on HDTV only)
• Component
• Composite
• S-Video
Note: If the TV has cable input only, connect the graphics card to the
TV through a VCR or an RF modulator, which is available from most
electronics stores.
Note: Copy-protected DVDs restrict playback to 480i and 480p
modes.

modes are used. Alternatively, you can enable the Super Anti-aliasing
mode in ATI Catalyst™ Control Center.
Note: When CrossFire™ is enabled, only one display device is
enabled.
Note: CrossFire™ Super Anti-Aliasing can be adjusted in the ATI
Catalyst™ Control Center 3D settings.
Note: GPU Physics is only available when CrossFire™ is inactive.
This ensures the highest possible performance. For more information
on GPU Physics, see the ATI Catalyst™ Control Center Help.
Display Configurations
Display support is available through only one display device when
CrossFire™ is active. This arrangement ensures the best performance.
42
If additional displays are required when CrossFire™ is active, use either
SurroundView™ (included in the Custom install options on the installation
CD) or an additional graphics card.
While CrossFire™ is designed for optimal use on a single display, it is
possible to drive multiple monitors using a CrossFire™ system when
CrossFire™ is not enabled. On a standard CrossFire™ system, it is possible
to drive four separate monitors and still have one of those displays as a
dedicated CrossFire™ display. You can add more displays if the

card.
If your computer has an AGP bus, you may need to update the motherboard
AGP drivers before installing a new graphics card.
The AGP drivers for your motherboard enable AGP functionality for the
motherboard chipset. These drivers may be referred to using any of the
following names:
• AGP Driver
• AGP Miniport
• AGP VXD Driver
• Chipset Driver
• GART Driver
• VGART
Often you will see the name of a motherboard chipset in connection with
these terms. For example:
48
• ALi GART Driver
• AMD AGP Miniport
• Intel VGART
• VIA AGP Driver
Obtain AGP drivers for your motherboard/chipset
If you experience problems with the AGP chipset drivers, you may
need a software update from the motherboard or chipset
manufacturer.
Note: Installing the wrong AGP motherboard/chipset drivers may
prevent Windows® from launching successfully. Make sure that the
drivers you install are designed to function correctly with the
motherboard. If you are uncertain, consult with the motherboard
manufacturer for advice.
If you purchased a new motherboard, you likely received a CD that
