Does Intel HD 2500 support WQHD (2560X1440) resolution?

Does Intel HD 2500 support WQHD (2560X1440) resolution?
HP Elite 8300 SFF with HD 2500 graphics.
Others have noted it supports 2560x1600 also show in the specs, but nowhere does it state if it will work with 2560x1440 (a more standard resolution of monitors)

No response so I went and bought the 2560 x 1440 monitor, and YES, the HD 2500 graphics card DOES support the 2560 x 1440 resolution. You MUST use a Display Port to Display Port cable. A Display Port to HDMI only showed the 1080 x 1920 max resolution.

Can you also tell me if it will still support 3 monitors if one of them is at the max resolution?

Could you have WQHD + FHD + FHD, or WQHD +WQHD + WQHD ?

At present I have FHD + FHD, + 720 and want to upgrade one of them to WQHD

funny, i was just looking to answer this very same question! what are the odds. 😉 so i guess it'll be able to drive this screen: LG 25UM58-P 25" Class 21:9 UltraWide Full HD IPS Monitor 5ms 2560 x 1080 75 Hz Refresh Rate Flicker Safe Black Stabilizer and On Screen Control w/ Screen Split 2.0 HDMI.... ah but wait... screen only has HDMI connectors!!!!! WTF???!!! i knew it was too good to be true.. goddam it.

EDIT: actually, i did some more searching and found this: 'A dual-link DVI connection (as opposed to single-link) can handle 2560x1440 at 60Hz, but not 3840x2160 (which is the typical; 4K resolution).'

here: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/pc-peripheral/how-connect-4k-screen-pc-3634369/

so, since i'm going for a cheapo Dell Optiplex 7010 system (obviously NOT for gaming) which has 2 DVI ports in the back, and IF those ports are dual-link, then the integrated Intel HD2500 should be able to drive the LG screen when using a DVI to HDMI 2.0 adapter.

EDIT 2: further research confirmed that you could get a DP to HDMI Active adapter to drive a screen up to 4K@60Hz, BUT DP must be vs 1.2. here: https://www.startech.com/AV/Displayport-Converters/dp-hdmi-2-adapter-4k~DP2HD4K60S
