The OS is Win7 32 bit. I use the v12.1 AGP hotfix Catalyst driver.

If I connect the graphic card to the monitor with a DVI-DVI cable I can set the 2560x1080 resolution both in window opening right click on desktop / screen resolution and AMD Vison Control Panel. The latter also tells me that monitor is connected with dual link DVI cable

If I use HDMI-HDMI cable I can set only 1920x1080 resolution!

As per my specification of my graphic card (https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-R465D2-1GI#sp) its max resolution is 2560x1600 in case of digital outputs like HDM & DVI. Furthermore I investigated that the version of graphic card HDMI connector is 1.3a thus even 2560x1440@75Hz resolution should be possible.

I also learnt from 1st post of this forum that old Radeon cards (like HD4650 is) HDMI is clocked only on 165 MHz which limits the output bandwith unless driver is pacthed. Of course I did the patch with AMD Pixel Clock Patcher which was successful, but I am still not able to set 2560x1080 nor in desktop/screen resolution neither in AMD Vision Control Panel(.
The max available resolution is still only 1920x1080 despite the successful patch.

If DVI works, why not use that? I don't have a way to make HDMI go beyond 165 MHz pixel clock with 4000-series GPUs. The patch is meant for 5000-series GPUs and newer.

Hi ToastyX,
Because there is no audio passthrough on DVI If I connect with DVI-DVI cable I can select only analog sound input in the menu of my monitor.
Are you absolutely sure that it is impossible to use higher than 1920x1080 resolution via HDMI port of a HD4000 series graphic card? It is highlighetd on the box of my graphic card that it card has 1.3a version HDMI connector. As per table found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI HDMI ver 1.3a can support 2560x1440 resolution.
Will I be so unlucky that despite the built in HDMI 1.3a version connector resolution maximum of my HD4000 series card is only 1920x1080 on HDMI because of some hardware limitations, irrespective the card is able to send out above full HD resolutions on DVI?
If yes, than my last chance is to obtain a cable with dual link DVI connector on the one side and HDMI on the other side, connect DVI to the card, HDMI to the monitor and hope that card is able to serve audio signal on DVI too not only in HDMI.
Or an adapter like this
Do you think it is worth to try?

p.s. After running your AMD/ATI Pixel Clock Patcher utility it posts that limitations have been sucessfully patched. Despite the succesfull patch the pixel clock remains on 165 MHz because it is a HD4000 series card which is not able to use higher pixel clock?
