Graphics Subsystem
The board supports either integrated graphics (Intel Graphics Technology) or PCI
Express 2.0 x16 graphics.
Integrated Graphics
The board supports integrated graphics through the Intel
®
Flexible Display Interface
(Intel
®
FDI) for processors with Intel Graphics Technology.
Digital Visual Interface Graphics
Intel Desktop Board DQ57TML supports Digital Visual Interface (DVI) displays with a
DVI-D port.
The DVI-D port supports only digital DVI displays. The maximum supported resolution
is 2048 x 1536 at a 75 Hz refresh rate (QXGA). The DVI-D port is compliant with the
DVI 1.0 specification.
VGA Graphics
Intel Desktop Board DQ57TML supports VGA displays with a VGA connector on the
back panel. The maximum supported resolution is 2048 x 1536 at a 75 Hz refresh
rate (QXGA).
PCI Express* x16 Graphics
The Intel Core i7, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i3, and Intel Pentium processors in an
LGA1156 socket support discrete add-in graphics cards via the PCI Express 2.0 x16
add-in card connector. The board supports the following PCI Express speeds:
• PCI Express 2 frequency of 2.5 GHz which results in 5.0 Gb/s in each direction
(500 MB/s) per lane. The maximum theoretical bandwidth on the interface is
8 GB/s in each direction, simultaneously, when operating in x16 mode.
• PCI Express 1 frequency of 1.25 GHz resulting in 2.5 Gb/s each direction
(250 MB/s) per lane. The maximum theoretical bandwidth on the interface is
4 GB/s in each direction, simultaneously, when operating in x16 mode.
