Adanced Port replicator and 3 monitors

If I remember right, Lenovo w520 maxes at three with the dock.
HP has 5 displays in select models using the advanced dock:

Without port replicator/docking station 3 displays has been the maximum I remember seen. That also required AMD Eyefinity to be used, no room for nVidia there.

 

Honestly..I dont think anyone REALLY knows..you have that dell rep saying you can use eyefinity and then you have this:

So which is it with the M6600s..eyefinity or not?

 

Hi guys. Just thought I'd share my experience with this since I couldn't find the answer when I was ordering. I have an M6600 with a 4000M GPU. I have three external monitors connected (2 DVI, 1 VGA) through an E-Port Plus docking station.

Hope that helps.

 

All,
Both the M4600 & the M6600 support up to 5 total displays when using the advanced dock and AMD GFX cards. 3 total without the dock.
With NVIDIA you get 2 without Optimus, 3 with Optimus, 4 with the dock and Optimus. 2 max from NVIDIA GFX card and 1 or 2 from the Intel GPU.

 

Dell-Mano_G,
How would the AMD one be configured? 2 Displayport to Eyefinity dual adapters(one per advanced dock DP port) and then the M6600 LCD?

 

Heard it from our dell rep and tested it on a pre-production M6600 a few months ago.

While I would not call it 100% stable running 6 monitors, the engineer we were working with said it was due to it being a pre-production version and that the final shipping would be stable.

We have not bought any (due to other issues) but were impressed with the 6 monitor support.

 

Hi

I have also a problem with my M6600 with AMD Firepro and with my E-Port Plus:

I want to connect 2 external displays via DVI to my dock, so that i have 3 displays in total (2 extern 1 laptop display).
But I cannot set this in windows (Win 7 Professional). I can only choose 1 external display, never both together. When i try it, win says: You cannot save this setting.
I have tried the original firepro driver on dell website and the new original amd catalyst for radeon graphic cards.
How can i manage it to get both external displays working?

I want to expand my working space. No mirroring.


Thanks
