4 Graphics Cards in 2010 Mac Pro

[peskaa]

I have a question What does that active and non active thing mean?? and how does it effect performance etc. I use many screens with my mac pro and i use apples single link adapters for the FULL HD ones and the Dual Link DVI ones for my 1600p screen. wondering if there is a different way because those dual link adapter are extremely annoying and have so many bugs (they are s*** in my opinion )

cheers

Active/Non-active refers to circuits within the adapter or not, rather than the single-link/dual-link issue. There is no impact on performance between a non-active and an active adapter.

Single link will drive a monitor up to 1920x1200 resolution (which I'm assuming you mean by Full HD). Dual-Link will drive beyond that, so is needed for anything larger in resolution (2560x1440, 2560x1600 etc) - but because dual-link needs circuits inside the adapter, it's also natively active.

That would be very interesting for me to...

I'm also working in a theater with a MacPro and 3 Graphic-Cards (also I've never used 8 outputs so far)...
But a Triple-Head with 3-Times 800*600 and on the other Port also 800*600 on a GeForce 8800GT in a MacPro 2,1 was no Problem...
