Radeon 9600 pro TV-Out/Dual Display features
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1 Hello Everybody! I've been reading many stuff about the new Radeon 9600 Pro Chipset from ATI. I'm looking forward to buying especially a Sapphire Atlantis 9600 Pro. It seems, that you get many information about the 3D-features of this card but nothing about the tv-out connector, it's signal quality and how to use it at the same time with the normal VGA-connector/monitor. I'd like to see the normal windows desktop on my monitor for normal working (e.g. MS Word) and watch a divX or DVD at the same time on the tv with the tv-out of the radeon 9600 pro. Or just have more space on desktop by moving programs like icq/... on the second desktop shown on the tv. Does anybody know, if all that is possible? On ATI's homepage I noticed HYDRAVISION. It seems to provide this functionality. But if you click on supported products on http://www.ati.com/companyinfo/gloss...ision-demo.swf, no Radeon 9600 Pro is mentioned. What is wrong? Has anybody experience with that? Thnx a lot in advance!

TomsHardwareGuide tested radeon 9700pro and it was not possible, but i dont

On the ATI homepage I found following in http://mirror.ati.com/support/manualpdf/Rade9600.pdf, Page 6 (Display Configurations): ===snip=== Display Configuration: CRT display + TV Connector(s) used: VGA connector + TV Output Comments: Unsupported configuration if the CRT display is attached to the DVI-I connector via a DVI-I-to-VGA adapter* ===snap=== I'm still confused a little bit, since noboby seems to have experience in using the Radeon 9600 Pro in that confiuration. Hm.

So I can really hope, that this will work fine with the 9600 Pro, too. Other people tell me, that the refresh rate of the monitor goes down to 50 Hz and you have to reduce the display resolution, but they have the 9000.
