Performance

USB graphics adapters work by rendering 2D/3D with your computer's CPU and GPU, and then compressing and transmitting the pixels that change over USB. Dual core or 2Ghz or better CPU recommended. Recommended for web and applications, not 3D gaming or motion video playback.

Connectivity

The adapter package includes the main USB 2.0 to HDMI adapter, a USB 2.0 cable and hardware adapters for the different connector types (HDMI TO DVI). This adapter has audio function. Supports monitors and PC-compatible TVs up 1920x1080/1600x1200 Powered via USB; the adapter has an LED indicator light.

Drivers

Windows 7/Vista/XP drivers installed automatically via Windows Update. 32 and 64 bit supported for both Vista and Win7. Vista Home Basic and Win7 Starter Edition disable multiple monitors and are not supported. Windows 8 drivers available at DISPLAY LINKS website. GPU is used for 2D/3D rendering on Windows, requiring Intel, nVidia, or ATI primary WDDM driver. Not recommended for use on Mac, as only beta-level Mac OS X 10.4+ Intel 32/64-bit driver available via download, and Mac has lower performance and functionality than Windows for USB graphics. Open source available for Linux and other platforms--for advanced users only because of manual xorg.conf editing. USB graphics devices with different chipset drivers (MCT, SMSC, DisplayLink, etc.) should not be mixed on the same system.
