ATI Eyefinity ecosystem grows with inexpensive ($30) Single Link DisplayPort-to-DVI adapters

AMD announced that several technology partners will be releasing Eyefinity-validated DisplayPort to DVI adapters.

“The availability of the inexpensive Single Link DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter, with a suggested retail price of $30 US, expands the ATI Eyefinity ecosystem to include the massive number of LCD monitors with DVI connectors and resolutions up to 1920 x1200. This encompasses the vast majority of monitors sold today, with many models available for well under $200 each. Now, ATI Eyefinity multi-monitor solutions are within reach of virtually everyone, from die-hard gaming enthusiasts to individuals wanting more screen real estate to improve workflow.”

First up: Accell’s UltraAV Active DisplayPort to DVI Single-Link adapter and UltraAV Active Mini DisplayPort to DVI Single-Link adapter. The adapters are ATI Eyefinity Multi-Display validated and support multiple independent display outputs simultaneously, enabling a panoramic visual environment when used with a FirePro or Radeon graphics card. The adapters are available now and have an MSRP of $29.99.
