Three PHYSICAL video outs in Trinity???

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Please note that I initially added this to another Trinity thread, but decided afterwards to create a separate thread.

Toms HW has yet another video of Trinity platforms running three monitors. I know that Trinity has three display controllers and that DP 1.2 can run multiple video streams over a single connector.

Does anybody know if Trinity and the FCH can drive THREE DP connectors; in other words does it have the extra serdei, pinouts, etc for three connectors? Or do you need the still non-existant AFAIK DP hub to split out the DP micropackets/whatever?

The photo of the desktop shows at least three cables plugged into the rear IO panel. I can't tell what they are, though one looks like a VGA (in 2012!).

The full Tom's HW blurb is here:

But wait! There's more:
Fudzilla has a tidbit on the new A85X FCH, though there is no mention of anything video nuts-and-bolts related:

Note that I picked DP because I assume that DP would use the least resources on the physical output pin side: it does not have the seperate clock pair that DVI/HDMI uses.
