This is a standard multi-display feature supported by the Microsoft Operating System. Notes: 1. When using a non-ATI PCI Express (PCIe) graphics card, SurroundView is not supported. The integrated graphics processor (IGP) is automatically disabled, and the system memory allocated to the IGP is freed for other use. 2. When installing an ATI PCIe graphics card, SurroundView is disabled by default. Enabling SurroundView in the BIOS (F10 Setup) enables the integrated UMA graphics controller, which in turn makes available up to two additional graphics outputs. When enabling the integrated UMA graphics controller, system memory will be reallocated. • The amount of memory allocated to internal graphics is determined in the BIOS (F10 Setup) setting Advanced Chipset Features/UMA Frame Buffer Size. The default is 64MB. • When viewing Advanced Chipset Features in the BIOS (F10 Setup), the Internal Video Mode may read "UMA" even if the internal graphics is disabled. This field is not updated by adding a PCIe graphics card. The Internal Video Mode "Disabled" setting frees up the allocated UMA graphics memory when a PCI graphics card is the only adapter required. • When a PCI graphics card is used in combination with the integrated graphics processor and/or a PCIe graphics card, it cannot be set as primary. By default it is configured as a secondary controller. If, instead, the PCI graphics card is the only enabled controller in the system, by necessity it is the primary controller. • Potentially, a non-ATI-branded PCIe graphics card could be installed, one that contains an ATI chipset and uses ATI-based software drivers, but does not support SurroundView. This may be caused by an older card and older driver source code. You may not be able to use SurroundView with all PCIe card combinations. All ATI-branded PCIe cards support SurroundView.
