A few weeks ago I bought a new Acer Nitro 27 inch (XV272U) monitor, which can deliver 2560x1440p at 144 Hz. This works perfectly with my Lenovo T14 1st Gen with an AMD R7 and AMD graphics installed there (connected via an HDMI cable).
Now I would like to use this monitor for my desktop computer, which has an Nvidia GeForce GT 530 installed (a few years older). According to research (e.g. https://www.gpuzoo.com/GPU-NVIDIA/GeForce_GT_530_OEM_2GB.html) this card should be able to deliver 2560x1440p via the DVI output (assume at 30-60 Hz).
That was probably not the best source because I only get 1920x1080p at 60 Hz on the screen. I checked the following connections:
1) Normally via the HDMI output of the PC to the HMDI input of the monitor. A maximum of 1920x1080p at 60 Hz arrives. As mentioned: With the laptop this worked fine at 2560x1440p at 144 Hz.
2) Via the DVI output of the PC to the HDMI input of the monitor. For this I had to use a DVI-D dual link> HDMI adapter https://www.delock.de/produkt/65466/merkmale.html). There, too, I only get the 1920x1080p. According to the manufacturer, the adapter allows 3840 x 2160p at 60 Hz, so this should not be the limiting factor.
3) With the DVI connection, I defined my own resolution of 2560x1440p in the Nvidia settings, but it looks blurry.
Is there a way to get the full 2560x1440p (at 50-60 Hz) so that it looks like the usual QHD picture, or does the graphics card just not manage it?
Will never work in life even in the approach with the graphics card and even if you would have said 1fps or better seconds per image XD
you definitely need another gpu
