When I upgraded most of my desktop PC last fall, I skimped on the video card like always. I don't game much, mostly screw around with a couple older Madden and Triple Play sports games, so I've never spent much on graphics.

Got a new 2560x1440 monitor today and come to find out, my card only has a single link DVI output and will only run it at 1920x1080.

Looking around online, it seems some R7 240 cards come with dual link DVI and support 1440p, but mine doesn't? My card is: item 82E16814202055 on Newegg - I can't post the link - I ordered it a couple weeks after the new R series came out.


Just trying to make sure that I'm not overlooking something dumb before I go spend $100 or so on a new card.

Hopefully someone here can throw a little knowledge my way.  Thanks in advance! :-)

Yeah, I read toms, have a subscription to Maximum PC, build my own computers and all that fun stuff - but I'm not really all that tech-y when it comes down to it.  I was more asking specifically if there's any way I can possibly run a (my) single link DVI card in 1440p.  Googling it and my particular GPU gives all kinds of confounded answers, with dual monitor setups to get 3840x2160 with HDMI, supposedly supported 4k resolution (but not really) yada yada - or if I'm stuck and going to spend around $100 on a new card.

I don't think you are going to get that. From what I see DVI only handles a single output at max 1920x1200 resolution.

So unless you have a way to upscale the video, you need to use an HDMI output.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
