5. Will the GFX 750 work when other graphics cards are installed in my Sun chassis?
Yes, the GFX 750 card takes up only one PCI slot in your system. All other available slots may be used for other PCI cards as needed and their operation will not be constrained in any way by the presence of the GFX 750 card.

|
6. Will the GFX 750 support Digital LCD’s?
Yes, the GFX 750 has both an analog HD-15 port and a DVI connector. Your digital monitor must support the DVI interface.
|
|
7. What resolutions are supported for digital monitors?
The GFX 750 supports Digital DVI output resolutions up to a maximum of 1920 × 1200 depending on your digital LCD. The DDC will automatically adjust to your monitor's resolution as needed.

8. Can the GFX 750 be configured in a dual screen mode utilizing the HD-15 and DVI ports?
The GFX 750 card consists of one graphic processor and two DACs. The drawing engine is capable of driving both DACs with different outputs.
OpenWindows, Gnome or CDE (X Window System) can be configured to start in either single or dual-screen mode by using the fxtconfig utility provided with the GFX 750 software. In dual-screen configurations, the X Window session will act as one single display across two screens. Both screens will be set to the same resolution and each is limited to 1920 × 1200 @60. So, the effective resolution across both screens is 3840 × 1200 @60. Please note that this configuration requires that you have one analog monitor and one DVI LCD connected to the card.

11. Will the GFX 750 work in my PC running Windows or Linux?
No, Tech Source has not developed drivers to support the GFX 750 on Linux or Windows. In addition, the GFX 750 does not have a VGA BIOS which is required for a graphics card to be the boot device on an x86 machine.
|
|
12. How do I change the resolution or bit depth on my GFX 750 card?
The GFX 750 software provides a utility for easily changing the resolution or bit depth on your card. From a command prompt simply type “fxtconfig –i” to bring up the interactive menu. Using your arrow keys to navigate the program you can choose a new resolution or bit depth from the list. Once finished, simply type “s” to save changes and exit the program. Please note, you must restart the X environment for the changes to take place.
