3 - Pipes Ivybridge Limitations Haswell Limitations How to Set Up Dual Head for Intel® Graphics with RandR 1.2
Programmer's Reference Manuals

3 - Pipes

3-pipes is a feature that allows users to have three Monitors plugged in. It is present at 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ processors with Intel® HD Graphics (code named IvyBridge) and 4th Generation Intel® Core™ processors with Intel® HD Graphics (code named Haswell).

For other platforms only Dual outputs are supported.

Ivybridge Limitations

In order to get three screen outputs at Ivy Bridge you should use two display ports plus any display with some limitations on modes supported.

An easy way to verify what modes are supported is using this script.

Haswell Limitations

Haswell 3-pipes is less restrictive than Ivy Bridge. You can have three screens with

* 2 Display Ports + any display

* 1 Display Port and 2 HDMI or DVI

* 1 VGA and 2 HDMI or DVI

and no restrictions on mode combination.
