2560 x 1440 from DVI to HDMI or from DVI to DisplayPort
Hello, I've just purchased a Philips 275E1S display, which is capable of a 2560 x 1440 resolution. I've connected the VGA video output from my MSI A68HM-P33 V2 (MS-7895) (P0) mainboard to the VGA input of the display and I can get up to 1920 x 1080.

Since the display has VGA, HDMI and DP inputs only, I'm wondering if I could obtain a 2560 x 1440 using either a DVI-to-HDMI or a DVI-to-DP passive adapter.

I've found a old thread where someone posted a link to a and I'd like to know if someone has successfully achieved what I'm trying to do, using the pixel clock patcher for AMD/ATI or any other trick, but using only passive converters/cables.

Thank you.
Regards

DVI to DisplayPort doesn't exist as a passive adapter, and the active ones are single-link and don't officially support higher pixel clocks, so that won't work.

DVI to HDMI is technically possible with the patcher (you might need to use the -sl option for single-link), but that's assuming the patcher works with your hardware. I know the patcher works with HD 5000-series and newer GPUs, but I don't know what APUs are supported.

Why not get a cheap older video card instead? Something like the Radeon HD 7850 or GTX 750 should work without tricks.

Hello, thank you for your reply. I'm not sure I'd like to spend over 70 euro for a graphics card on such an old system.
What happens if the patcher is not compatible? Will it mess up my system or simply will it not provide the desired resolution?
