It suddenly occurred to me to check what the on-board video can
actually do. It's putting out 1920x1080 now, but is that only because
that's the best that the monitor that it's connected to can do?
I grabbed the manual from the Asrock Z270 motherboard and here's what
it said:
Dual graphics output:
Support HDMI and DisplayPort 1.2 ports by independent
display controllers <huh?>
Supports HDMI with max. resolution up to 4K by 2K (4096x2160
<sic>) at 24Hz / 3840x2160 @30Hz
Supports DisplayPort 1.2 with max resolution up to 4K by 2K
(4096x2304) @60Hz
<Plus other stuff about color and 'auto lip sync' - huh?>
I have read online that <60Hz is not good. So it looks like DisplayPort
1.2 is what I need. Yet another video cable to buy. But that is
better than having to buy a whole video card and praying that I can get
it working.
Thoughts?
