| | Cant get full 2560 resolution from Nvidia Quadro NVS 295 After fitting a Nvidia NVS 295 card into my new Advent computer (Foxconn mobo, i5, 8GB RAM) my DELL ULTRASHARP U2711 will not display at its maximum 2560 x1400 res. I can only get 1920. In fact 1920 is the highest selectable in the Nvidia control panel. I let the Nvidia installer set up everything without removing the onboard AVG driver first - I assume it did this automatically? I am using the DVI cable that came with the Dell. What am I doing wrong? I have used the latest Windows7 64bit driver download from Nvidia website. |

| | Hi, http://www.nvidia.com/docs/IO/68245/...INAL_LoRes.pdf States here to use 2560 x 1400 you need to use display port. DisplayPort to DVI-D (Single Link) > industry standard cables can be used to drive digital displays at resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz Your monitor has a display port connector. To utilise full resolution you need that.  Last edited by Indianatone; 16 Oct 2012 at 11:50 AM.. Reason: Forgot to say Hi |

| | Yes, I am using a display port to DVI-D adaptor. My suspicion is now that the NVS 295 card comes in 2 different resolutions - 2560 and 1900. I seem to have the lower one. The packaging and website information on this product is very ambiguous. |

| | I'll have a pint of bottled real ale, you can email it to me.  As A Brit in America beer here sucks big time Don't let them know that. Glad you finally got the message. Glad to help. Visited Devon several times in the past, lovely especially Covelly. |

| | I am a home brewer of real ales - I have 2 barrels always on tap! Now stocking up with Xmas 'winter warmers' - 5.7%. Clovelly was in the news last week - heavy rains had caused the river at the top of the hill to burst its banks and flow down the main street all the way down to the harbour - turning the sea red. Might be on youtube. |

| | YES! Thanks Indianatone!! Got the right cable today and I can now get the full 2560 x1600 resolution - WOW! what a difference it makes - photos look wonderful but text is incredible small, though but I only do photo-editing so that's OK.

Glad you got it working and posted back as this will help someone else. That would be my problem with such a high resolution, I could not read the text but for editing photos, wonderful. Enjoy your monitor and have a pint!  |

(Dual link suggests 2 cables, but it's really one.) You might have gotten 2560 X 1440 if you had a DP to Dual Link adapter. Apparently, you did not. I write this to correct the impression some may have that you can't get the high-res graphics with DVI. You can, but a Dual Link capable card (and cable) are required. DisplayPort is best for you, though: no adapters. |
