Hi Amr,
The FireStream 9170 will actually contain a single DVI connector which can be used as a video output, if desired.
The video port was intentionally added back onto the card to address situations just like the one you are encountering. Also, during our system qualifications and testing, we discovered that there are some workstations which contain only a single PCIe x16 slot and no integrated graphics. This would have caused our customers undue grief in trying to find an alternative video output method.
To make AMD FireStream 9170 integration into existing systems as easy as possible for our customers, we decided to provide you with the video output option on the AMD FireStream 9170.
I hope this helps solve your dilemma! 🙂
Michael.
