Z87X-UD3H and graphics output

[BL888]

Hi All

I have one niggling issue in Windows.

I am connecting the on board graphics to my Dell U2713HM monitor via a HDMI cable.
For some reason i am being restricted to resolution of 1920x1080 when Gigabye website states it can handle upto 2560x1600 (see below).

I am trying to get it to output 2560x1440 to match my monitors max resolution.

Any idea why I cannot get to this resolution?


"1 x HDMI port, supporting a maximum resolution of 4096 x 2160 @ 24 Hz / 2560 x 1600 @ 60 Hz
* Support for HDMI 1.4a version."

Use displayport or duallink DVI.

Scrap that last bit, the board doesn't have duallink DVI, so use displayport.

Thanks for that. I just checked the Gigabyte website again and it has the same max resolution for displayport as with HDMI.

Would the displayport deffo give better results as i would need to purchase one?

1 x HDMI port, supporting a maximum resolution of 4096 x 2160 @ 24 Hz / 2560 x 1600 @ 60 Hz
* Support for HDMI 1.4a version.
1 x DisplayPort port, supporting a maximum resolution of 4096 x 2160 @ 24 Hz / 2560 x 1600 @ 60 Hz
* Support for DisplayPort 1.2 version.

Thanks
