Native Resolution No Longer Available After Quadro m4000

[amoncur]

I recently installed an Nvidia Quadro m4000 graphics card, and my native screen resolution (Dell U3011 which is 2560 x 1600) is no longer available in the Advanced Display Settings. The highest setting now available is only 1600 x 1200. Previously I was using a GTX 780 and then a GTX 1080 and both provided the 2560 x 1600 resolution setting. Any idea why the Quadro card is not giving me the native 2560 x 1600 resolution option?

What cable are you using for your GPU to your monitor?

Thanks for the quick response! I am using the HDMI to DVI adapter that came with the Quadro card. Also, I am using the same DVI cable to connect my monitor that I had used before with the two GTX cards, and it had no problem with 2560 x 1600 resolution with the GTX cards.

Not sure why it's not detecting your native panel resolution, but you can force it to display a custom resolution. See this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlERjmkBoHg

I've had to use this in the past with monitors that had weird resolutions (1600x1024 anyone?)

Right click on the windows desktop.
Select screen resolution from the pull down menu.

Click on Advanced settings in blue writing.

Then click on the list all modes tab.

See if the top resolution of the monitor is presented in the table of resolutions the monitor is capable of .
Select it.
Click apply.

If it is not present then in the Force ware software provided by Nvidia.
Enable super virtual resolution or Gpu scaling.

It should then give you extra screen resolution settings.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've actually tried this and once I enter the custom screen resolution and click test, the screen goes black for about 5 seconds then comes back to the custom resolution window but no change has been made. So for whatever reason it seems like this will not work.

Thank you for the suggestion - The native resolution of the monitor used to be available in that drop down (with my previous graphics cards) but is no longer available since installing the Quadro card. Also, I don't see the super virtual resolution or GPU scaling anywhere in the Nvidia Control Panel. I am on Windows 10 64 - is there somewhere in particular I can look to find these options?

Well I installed a DP to DP cable and now it is working fine. Odd, since per the mfg's specs the dual link DVI cable should have worked. Anyway, problem solved.
