Sapphire Announces Cheap DisplayPort Adapter for Radeon HD 5000 series Video Cards

Sapphire is the largest maker of video cards that use the ATI HD 5000 series of GPUs around. The company has announced a new and cheap adapter for its line of HD 500 series video cards. The cheap adapter turns the DisplayPort into a DVI out.

The adapter is a pigtail style that allows the user to take advantage of up to three screens and support Eyefinity mode. The point of the adapter is to allow the connection of a third screen that only needs low resolution.

Sapphires idea of low resolution is a bit more than what some people think though and will support up to 1920 x 1200. The exact price of the adapter is not noted, but it should be low cost.
