    The display port connection is not supported with the 3870 vga, once the 4870 are released the display port will be supported and functional.

    Displayport: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort

    It is covered by a plastic piece on the back of the unit, because it is not supported.

    Not the VGA port, there is another port on the rear with a plastic twist out plug. This is for the new display port adapter which will be supported with the 4870 vga.
