Cannot get a higher resolution

[nestlee65]

I thought that installing a DVI-D cable would allow me to get a resolution of 2560 X 1440 (max for my monitor) but Windows 10 won't allow more than 1920 X 1080. What do I do?

MAX for DVI is 1920 x 1200
MAX for HDMI 2560x1600

It is not possible to get higher than that due to the amount of cables.
If it's dual linked it can achieve 2560x1600

Both HDMI and DVI can support higher resolutions. Do you have the drivers for your display installed? Are you using a single or dual-link DVI cable?

Only a dual link DVID can do so.

Does your monitor support HDMI?

Your probably using single link DVI which is your problem. Switch to dual link DVI and you'll be set.

(I'm running a 2560 x 1440 montior at 96hz on dual link dvi.)

Upgrade to HDMI or switch to dual link dvi and your fine.

If your monitor is DVI only, buy an HDMI to DVI cable and you should be set.
