1   AMD Eyefinity technology can support up to six DisplayPort displays using a single enabled AMD graphics card. The number of supported displays varies by card model and board design; confirm 
specifications with the manufacturer before purchase. Additional hardware may be required. Utilizing DisplayPort 1.2 and Multi-Stream technology-enabled displays, connectors and/or hubs, a single 
graphics card may support up to two more displays than it has display outputs; limit six displays. Microsoft® Windows
® 7, Windows Vista®, or Linux® is required to support more than 2 displays; Windows 
XP is no longer supported. AMD Eyefinity technology works with applications that support non-standard aspect ratios, which is required for panning across multiple displays. SLS (“Single Large Surface”)
functionality requires an identical display resolution on all displays. See www.amd.com/firepro or www.amd.com/eyefinity for details.
2  AMD FirePro™ W5000 supports DisplayPort 1.2 with a max resolution of 4096x2160, can drive three displays at once, features 2GB GDDR5 memory, a 256-bit memory interface and 102.3 GB/s memory 
bandwidth. Compared to Nvidia Quadro 2000 supporting DisplayPort 1.1 with a max resolution of 2560x1600, can only drive two displays at once, features 1GB GDDR5 memory, a 128-bit memory interface 
and 41.6 GB/s memory bandwidth. Visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-quadro-2000-us.html for Nvidia product details. FP-41
 3  AMD FirePro™ W5000 has a triangle rate of 1.65 billion triangles per second compared to Nvidia Quadro 4000 that is capable of  410 million triangles per second. Visit http://www.nvidia.com/content/PDF/

 4  Full HD resolution is considered 1080p (1920x1080 = ~2.1 megapixels). One AMD FirePro W9000 graphics card with AMD Eyefinity technology supports up to 2560x1600x6 = ~24.6 megapixels for 12 x full 
HD resolution.
 5  W5000 (2xDP + 1XDVI-I) supports a maximum of 5 x 2560x1600 displays (2 x DP1.2 MST (2 per DP) + 1 x native DLDVI) or 6 x 1920x1200 (2 x DP1.2 MST (3 per DP)). Based off DP1.2 bandwidth 
availability for MST supports up to:4 x 1920x1200 @24bpp 60Hz displays, 2 x 2560x1600 @24bpp 60Hz displays, 1 x 4096x2160 @24bpp 60Hz display
