A computer with a DisplayPort v1.2 compatible Graphics Card (e.g. AMD Radeon with AMD Eyefinity
technology) is required to display in video wall mode. Backward compatible with most DisplayPort 1.1a
equipment running current graphics drivers, with the feature set being limited to that of your equipment
(e.g. you may be limited to displaying in Clone / Mirror mode only). Compatibility with older graphics
cards is not guaranteed.
MST-compliant DisplayPort 1.2 graphics cards are limited to a bandwidth of 21.6 Gbps amongst all
monitors with higher resolution monitors using up more bandwidth. 1080p monitors will use up
approximately 22% of bandwidth, whereas 4K monitors will use 40% or more. As each monitor will be
different, it is necessary to verify the percentage of bandwidth being used by each monitor in the display
settings interface of your graphics card. If the total percentage of bandwidth taken up by all the
connected monitors exceeds 100%, an image will not display on one or more of them.
