What type of monitors
do you need?
Your Fire GL 8800 is optimally configured
to be combined with digital flat-panel
(DFP) TFT LCD displays and digital CRT
displays. You can also connect the Fire
GL 8800 to high-resolution MultiSync or
multi-frequency monitors or other VGA
monitors.
To connect a VGA monitor to the DVI
connector you may use the provided VGA-
to-DVI adapter.
Notes: (1) You need a Plug-and-Play
monitor that supports VESA’s Display
Channel specifications (DDC1 or DDC2) to
take advantage of the DDC1/DDC2b+
features
(2) You can use the full power of the
graphics card only if your monitor supports
the horizontal (kHz) and vertical (Hz)
refresh rates as required by the graphics
card. Refer to your monitor's
documentation for recommended refresh
rates
