Configuring a Quad View System
This function is supported only on Windows XP operating system.
With Quad View technology from GIGABYTE, Dual Graphic enabled motherboards offer multiple display
support on up to four separate monitors. This improves the capabilities and productivity of the user by
allowing them to spread multiple windows over four monitors and view them simultaneously. For users,
Quad View technology takes the immersive experience to new heights with the ability to open "control" and
"telemetry" windows on dedicated screens.

Multiple display support for immersive video / gaming experience
The exact power requirement will depend on your overall system configurations. You need a power
supply that can provide sufficient and stable power to your system and the two graphics cards. We
recommend a power supply that supplies 400W (or above) and 25A (or above) +12V current.
Before you begin--
If you want to enable the Quad View function, install two similar graphics cards into PCIE x 16 slots (it is
recommended to use graphics cards of identical brand and chips. For example: GIGABYTE GV-NX66T128D).
If you want to set up a single graphics card system, we recommend installing the graphics card on the
PCIE_16_1 slot to ensure better display performance.
