Intel HD 4000

Hi folks,

I just wanted to build a low power home theater system.

I grabbed an Asus P8Z77-WS and a Intel i7-3770S to connect to my beautiful HP LP3065 30 inch monitor. The monitor only has DVI input, which is why I choose the Asus WS board. The specs for the Asus board state that the resolution of 1920x1200 output is supported by the onboard DVI. Intel HD 4000 should have enough performance to drive that resolution, right?

Well I can't get the resolution to go any higher than 1280x800. :confused:

I'm using Win7 64bit and have a Ceton InfiniTV card.

It's depressing. I was hoping to have an excellently performing and low power setup...

Anyone have any solutions I could try, before I stick an Nvidia Geforce GT 520 into it?

Thanks!

Jonathan
 
Hey thanks for the reply, good information!

I wonder why then if I connect the HD4000 to my Dell U3011, I get a max resolution of 1600x1200?

Also, why am I able to run at the intermediate resolution of 1920x1200 on the HP LP3065 when I connect it to a Geforce GT 520?
 
Are you using the Windows screen resolution or the actual Intel Graphics utility.
 
With the HD-4000 connected to the HP-LP3065, the windows screen resolution control panel doesn't have the 1920x1200 listed... there is an option to unhide 1920x1200, but that resolution gives a blank screen. Same with the Intel Graphics utility, the resolution isn't available and if you specify 1920x1200 as a custom resolution I get an error message about insufficient bandwidth.
 
Makes me wish I had gotten instead... maybe an AMD A8-3870K?

On the other hand... it's funny how even with an added Geforce GT 520, the power use may still be less with the Intel setup than an AMD setup.

I do really wish Intel could get their head out of their azz with their graphics... do it well or don't do it at all.

They're working on it, but it's not an easy process. Notice how big the jump was from G45 to socket 1156's IGP, and again from HD3000 to HD4000. Now that Intel has committed to focusing on this area, it's just a matter of time. Notice that AMD has already said they're not bothering with cards below a 7750, they feel that integrated solutions on both sides are good enough to make dedicated, redundant.

I found this thread via Google. :) Trying to get this POS HD4000 system to work.

LOL. They're working on it. Right.

My HD4000 box will not go past 1600x1200 on my U3011. It refuses to do 1920x1080, 1920x1200 let alone 2560x1600 via dual link DVI. It'll do 1080p fine on HMDI. But dual link DVI? LOL. No. Adding a custom resolution yields "resolution exceeds bandwidth." The same resolution that works on HDMI. Bandwidth. Right. Whatever.

And yes, I have all the current drivers, yadda, yadda, etc.

Face it: Intel GPUs are shit and they don't care unless you're a laptop vendor. They're double shit for video with banding and clipped black levels due to their derpy HDMI logo compliance implementation: http://communities.intel.com/thread/31860
