Hi there,

Can Intel 4600/5000/5100/5200 graphics drive a single-link DVI monitor 1920x1200 @ 85 Hz ? (Photoshop painting)

More about : haswell graphics dvi monitor refresh rate

Yes, to all. You may experience input lag.

Thanks, but have you personally been able to do it? because in the meantime, I found this:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/quick-referen...

about 2/3 down the page, under "Display and Audio Features Comparison", it says
DVI 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz, and I find the same limitation in the specs of the motherboard I'm considering (Asus H97 Pro : "Supports DVI-D with max. resolution 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz").

Still, if H-Processors can do 3840 x 2160@60Hz on DisplayPort as per that Intel webpage, they should be able to do higher refresh rates at lower resolutions... but maybe not on DVI?

The depends on a few things. Namely will the monitor accept 85hz over dvi. If dvi is it's only input interface and it runs at 85hz I don't see why it wouldn't unless there is false advertising which I very much doubt is the case.

WHAT? the question here has nothing to do with the monitor. Of course it accepts 85Hz over DVI, but if the graphics hardware of the computer -subject of my question- cannot PROVIDE 85Hz, my monitor will be very sorry indeed, whatever its position on truth in advertising.

Any GPU is capable of 85 hz. When your talking about gpu's your concern is frames per second. Monitors and refresh rates. The GPU will not be limited by a refresh rate only how many frames it can send in a second. Which is entirely dependent on the task its given. It won't stop at 60 fps or 85 it will push out as many as it can handle. Nothing less unless you use software to limit it by either defining a set fps to display, or by turning v sync on.

Frames per second? :lol:  How many frames per second in Excel? and in Command Prompt?
You obviously don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about, and I suggest you try to shine somewhere else. JEEEZ.

To answer that question my refresh rate is clocked to 72 hz. Thus my monitor is displaying 72 FPS on DWM, Excel, word, command prompt, and any program that does not unlock my refresh rate. Thats on an i7 4770 @ 1080p with intel HD Graphics 4600.

Once again, I state that a GPU pushes as many frames as it can, these frames are displayed on the monitor each time it refreshes one at a time. The GPU will not affect the refresh rate compatibility, only what the controller of the monitor can support at the set resolution, and the amount of bandwidth the cable and connector type can support.

The information is out there, go find it. Anyways there are far more important things to worry about when selecting a monitor for Photoshop and other workstation related tasks. Like response times, color clarity, DPI, contrast ratio, and reliability.
