Question 5120 x 1440 required for large monitor

[Daxy]

Hi Guys

I need a card capable of 5120 x 1440 resolution its not for gaming just productivity 3D photoshop possibly video editing etc so I'm after recommendations please dont have a big budget sadly, difficult I know. thanks in advance.

What is your budget? What is your power supply and how many watts?

What is your budget, specifically? 'Not big' means different things to different people.

On the photoshop/video editing front, I'm not too familiar. However, from a strictly 'supporting' 5120x1440 standpoint, almost anything remotely 'new' should be able to support that.
Most cards can support at least 4K 60Hz (3840x2160 = roughly 8.3m pixels). 5120x1440 = ~7.4m pixels

On a budget front, new... An RX550 should be capable enough of 'supporting' it, but your workloads would probably benefit from a stronger GPU, I would suspect. Perhaps an RX570 or RX580?

Computer is a Dell T550 dual hex core 32 gb ram psu is 875w currently a quadro K620

Your current GPU should be capable of outputting that resolution at 60Hz over Displayport.

The Quadro can't do it?

K620's can do 4096x2160 @ 60 Hz, should be plenty of bandwidth to support 5120x1440 ..... I would've thought?

K620 3840x2160 @ 60 Hz with 30-bit color

What do you have for video inputs on your monitor?

It can only do that over DP so if the monitor doesn't have DP then he is SOL with that current card.

As far as I can tell there are only 4 monitors on the market with that resolution, and they all have DP.

 

[Barty1884]

K620 3840x2160 @ 60 Hz with 30-bit color

And you're trying to achieve? Likely some missing info here....

It can only do that over DP so if the monitor doesn't have DP then he is SOL with that current card.

True, but the OP is either running one of a select handful of 5120x1440 monitors (which all have DisplayPort), or dual 2560x1440 monitors.... most of which should have DP.

Displayport 1.2 is capable of 17.26 Gbps. Uncompressed 10 bit 5120x1440 @ 60 Hz only requires ~13.9 Gbps.

Thanks guys plumped for a gtx 1050ti goes well over the size I need thanks again. Its so confusing.

How much are you paying for a 1050 ti you can get far better amd cards for less usually

I'm not sure of rx 570 prices in the uk, but that is not that bad of a deal if it is new. In the u.s. market the rx 570 beats out the 1050ti in scenario

Its refurbished I see the rx beats it in just about every bench mark but as I said I want it for productivity not gaming so cuda cores are more important with the software I use. Wish I could have afforded a better card but this will do for now spent all my money on the monitor.

The 1050 ti is a perfectly good card, in fact i'm using one right now. The rx 570 is better price to performance is all I was saying.
