i7 6700 HD Graphics 530 - different resolution on identical screens

I connected a second screen on my computer but

  • one screen shows 2560x1440 pixel (connected via HDMI)
  • second screen shows only 1920x1080 pixel (connected via a DVI cable - cable was used for a 2560px resolution before, so it should be the right one)

more information

  • both screens are a BenQ GW2765 screen
  • Mainboard: MSI Z170A GAMING PRO Carbon Z170
  • no graphic card installed just using the Intel Graphics

I have updated the graphic and main board drivers to the most recent ones I've been able to find.

The Intel graphics tool on my Windows 10 named one screen "BenQ TV" and one screen "BenQ Display" anyway

Any chance to run both screens with 2560x1440px by using the integrated Intel graphics?

Hello CarlosLosTopografos,

 

 

I understand you would like to know if the DVI port that comes in your MSI Z170A GAMING PRO Carbon Z170 motherboard supports or not 2560x1440 screen resolution.

 

 

According to MSI* website the DVI that comes in the motherboard supports up to 1920x1200@60Hz. You can confirm that on this link under the Onboard Graphics section https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z170A-GAMING-PRO-CARBON.html# hero-specification https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z170A-GAMING-PRO-CARBON.html# hero-specification

 

 

The HDMI port support a maximum resolution of 4096x2160@24Hz, 2560x1600@60Hz.

 

 

Let me know if you have or not any other inquiry.

 

 

Regards,

 

Fred D.

Connect one monitor via display port. Judging from previous issues by other users it's the favorite port on many rigs.

According to https://ark.intel.com/products/88196/Intel-Core-i7-6700-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_00-GHz Intel® Core™ i7-6700 Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.00 GHz) Product Specifications your processor can handle

  • Graphics Output eDP/DP/HDMI/DVI
  • 4K Support Yes, at 60Hz
  • Max Resolution (HDMI 1.4)‡ 4096x2304@24Hz
  • Max Resolution (DP)‡ 4096x2304@60Hz
  • Max Resolution (eDP - Integrated Flat Panel)‡ 4096x2304@60Hz

Check your BIOS manual https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z170A-GAMING-PRO-CARBON.html# down-manual Support For Z170A GAMING PRO CARBON | Motherboard - The world leader in motherboard design | MSI Global

Anything useful at Advanced configuration / Integrated Graphics Configuration?

Yeah, I have checked the processor before buying and saw the same. The board has one HDMI and one DVI only, no display port. I have opened a ticket at MSI support as well.

If some of you guys here have one more idea... Don't wanna buy a graphics card for just some pixels (I am not a gamer)

Thanks for the information. I have to admit. I looked around but did not find this information.

It seems I need a separate graphic card...
