Z68 Intel HD 3000 maximum display resolution

[aktabo]

Trying to connect my Dell U2711 to my new i5 2405s / zotac Z68 8G ram on HDMI but then I relaize it seems only support 1920x1080 resolution.

any thing higher seems not supported.

ANy one know what is the maximum display resolution support by this Intel Chip set?

Do I need a just display port cable or a NV or ATI display card to get it up to 2550x1440?


Thanks

since thats up to the ramdac, and ramdacs are crazy cheap i bet it can handle up to 2560 x 1600 but ill check

 

[farrengottu]

for getting it to work at the right resolution.
if you have windows 7 you can right click on the desktop and click screen resolution. then click the resolution dropdown and crack it up. if its not available there check the intel graphics driver software for its res changing section.

you monitor might need a driver installed. windows update generally find these but you can check dells website.

if you cant get anything from those ideas try a different type of cable they are crazy cheap from monoprice.com

When I try to add a new resolution using custom setting it said

>The Custom resolution exceed the maximum bandwidth capacity<

I have install the driver which come with the U2711

Have to try to buy a new display port cable tomorrow

Also check at intel all drivers are current ><

Bought a display port cable, is working now.
Seems like Zotac Z68 only support 2560-1440 or 1600 when using display port
Hdmi do not support

maybe you had an first gen hdmi cable there are different versions. i know that 1.4 supports everything except for daisy chaining monitors. only displayport does that
