While DFI RNO171 is not the first Ryzen V2000 mini-ITX motherboard with quad-display we’ve seen so far, that’s the first one to do so via four DisplayPort connectors, as for instance, ASRock 4X4-V2000M and 4X4-V2000V mini-ITX motherboards do so using one HDMI 2.0 port, one DisplayPort connector, and two USB-C ports with DisplayPort Alt mode.

DFI’s Ryzen V2000 motherboard may not be available just yet, as the product page still shows the information is preliminary. RNO171 board also appears to be an update the the company’s earlier GH171 mini-ITX motherboard featuring AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000/V1000 processor.
