It only goes up to 1920x1080 and don't have an option for the native res of my monitor(2560x1440) I have try DVI-D and HDMI cables but the resolution list only goes up to 1920x1080. HD530 driver is up to date, as well as the motherboard bios. Also if I try to set 2560x1440 via custom resolution (from intel HD graphics control panel) I get a message that say the custom resolution exceeds the maximum bandwidth capacity.
I think Intel 530 might not support DL-DVI, and the old HDMI port provided is probably not enough for this resolution. Only DisplayPort would work. Does the monitor have displayport? If not, you might need a dp to dvi-d or dp to hdmi cable.
DVI and HDMI on the Intels are only capable of 1080p. The IGP can do 2560x1440, but you need DisplayPort.
I will try that and I will report back. of course it worked with the 390 however my 390 decided to die after 20 months, so for now I am using the crappy iGPU until my new gpu arrives. btw the DVI-D cable that I am using is dual link, and my monitor is Dell U2713HM Anybody here have any experience with sapphire RMA? Also what displayport cable should I buy?
That doesn't matter if only single-link DVI is supported. The extra link in the cable goes unused by the Intel chip. A cable supporting at least DP 1.2 should work.
I had a similar problem with my work laptop. The really weird thing is, if I start the laptop with the lid open and connected with an HDMI cable to my 1440p screen, I get the standard 900p res. After getting to the login screen, if I close the lid until it snaps, it will automatically adjust the resolution to 2560x1440. I have no idea why. But at work I have a pair of 30" 1600p monitors, and it took getting DisplayPort cables hooked up to my docking station to run them at native res.
