What's the port configuration on it? I have a nagging curiosity that
the G450 may be able to swap the DAC<->connector mapping like the G550
can. But it only seems that this swap would happen if:
- you have a card with a DVI and an analog output
- you ignore the DVI connector and put an analog monitor on the analog
connector.
Not a common scenario. I know a lot of G550's come with a DVI and an
analog connector, but I've never seen a G450 like that. (The G450
manual claims that they exist., however.)
Anyway, if I can find someone with a G450 with that configuration, and
your G550 has the same, then we could verify that the two chips do both
indeed have the capability to swap DACs. G400-DH definitely does not,
because the Maven chip's DAC is hardwired to the second port.
The fact that you can change both the CRTC<->DAC mapping and the
DAC<->connector mappings is a little confusing to say the least but I
think I've got a handle on it.
Something else I'm curious about is hooking up two DVI monitors to a
G450 or G550 using a dual DVI cable. I guess in that case the DacG and
MGA-TVO are ignored completely, so do these cards have two TMDS
transmitters (one for each monitor on the cable)? Or are the TMDS
chips internal to the dual digital cables?
