I got the dell ultrasharp u2713HM monitor for photography, not for gaming. I have a AMD Radeon HD 7700 series, that apparently tops out at 1920n x 1200 x 60hz. I'm using the DVI cable. What is my best solution, and what is my cheapest solution? Thanks, Rob
I bought a dell w/ 2560 x 1440 and need a new card?

Solution
My existing card does not support 2560 x 1440. I was wondering if there was anyway to update it so it would work? If that's the case, would the displayport change do anything? I have found that it is hard to see graphic card screen resolutions listed on-line. I could not find them on the ATI Radeon site for example.
And to backtread- I suppose that I do need card capable of fast rendering since I do use CAD rendering programs, and video editing.

The 7700 series certainly does support 2560X1440. It just doesn't show the resolutions that the connection or monitor won't support. I suspect that you are using a single link DVI cable. The DisplayPort connection, which nearly all Radeon 7700 series cards have, would work much better.
Thank you dgingri. Dell shipped a dual link DVI cable with the monitor, but it had a bent pin. So I used another DVI cable that I had. After your post, I checked the Dell cable which was clearly labled Dual DVI, and straightened the pin. Now, everything works. I will get a displayPort cable and compare the two. So thank you. If you hadn't helped, I probably would have bought another card. Rob
