Hello; I recently bought a laptop with a GTX 1060 in it.
Very happy, working @ 1920x1080 @ 60Hz.
>> On the webpage it says it can go until 7680x4320@60Hz
When choosing a list of resolutions, I noticed the max I can choose on my laptop is 1920x1080. I reckon this is the laptop-manifacturer making it so the max resolution fits the laptop-screen.
However, I would like to hook up a second monitor, that has a 3K resolution (sort of) and I can't get the resolution right without MANUALY ADDING the correct resolution of the screen in the list as a "custom-resolution".
This works, however, all fonts on this screen now become distorted and foggy-to-read. - Images go smooth. Working on 2 applications, and using for example photoshop or after effects on the second monitor, go very sluggish.
My question being: I suspect the selling company to purposly creating a ceiling for the graphics card to tailor this laptop and nothing more. Is there a way to "undo" the switch they created, leaving my laptop crippled to connect to a higher resolution? This is killing me and I paid good money for this laptop.
Oh, and I need to add the following information: the secondary "intel-graphics"-card is Intel HD Graphics 530
If the primary card can do those resolutions, but the basic-intel-graphics cannot, does this mean I'm "jammed"? Is this "your resolution is as strong as your weakest link"?
Thanks for the input; Grts
