BenQ Pro SW271 27in IPS LCD Monitor and Graphics Card

[JJ2012]

Hi

Will I be able to use the above monitor on a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1GB ? I have three Dell Ultrasharp monitors that are 2560 x 1440 on two of these graphics cards but, I'm not sure if the new Benq will work on these cards.

Thanks

I don't see why not. If the resolution is supported, and you have an open output ANY monitor would work.

Stupid question but, how can I tell if the resolution is supported?

Generally you take the model number to the manufacturer's site and look up its specifications.

Now depending on what connection you are planning to use, a 4K monitor might only run at 30hz with this card, via display port. If your particular card doesn't have Display Port, but HDMI, then the same might be true, as it certainly comes before HDMI 2.0 was a standard.

Now if you plan on all four monitors, that might be beyond the cards capabilities.

GTX 550Ti is getting fairly old. GT1030 are about $90 and would make a reasonable replacement(s)

Great thank you very much, I'll take a look and might get a new card.
