Intel Desktop Board DQ57TM Technical Product Specification

1.7 Graphics Subsystem

The board supports system graphics through either Intel Graphics Technology or a

PCI Express 2.0 x16 add-in graphics card.

1.7.1 Integrated Graphics

The board supports integrated graphics through the Intel

Flexible Display Interface

(Intel

FDI) for processors with Intel Graphics Technology.

NOTE

If using a processor with integrated graphics, the board will support only two of the

integrated graphics interfaces simultaneously: DisplayPort, DVI-I, DVI-D. Also, during

the Power On Self Test (POST), the board will not output to the DisplayPort if DVI-I or

DVI-D is used concurrently with DisplayPort.

1.7.1.1 DisplayPort*

DisplayPort is a digital communication interface that utilizes differential signaling to

achieve a high bandwidth bus interface designed to support connections between PCs

and monitors, projectors, and TV displays. DisplayPort is suitable for display

connections between consumer electronics devices such as high definition optical disc

players, set top boxes, and TV displays. DisplayPort output can also be converted to

High-Definition Multimedia Interface* (HDMI*) using a DisplayPort-HDMI converter.

DisplayPort’s maximum supported display resolution is 2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz refresh

with a 16:10 aspect ratio (WQXGA). DisplayPort 1.1 adds support for High Bandwidth

Digital Content Protection (HDCP) version 1.3. HDCP support enables viewing of

protected content from Blu-ray Disc* and HD-DVD optical media over DisplayPort 1.1

connections.

The DVI-I port supports both digital and analog DVI displays. The maximum

supported resolution is 2048 x 1536 at 75 Hz refresh (QXGA). The DVI port is

compliant with the DVI 1.0 specification. DVI analog output can also be converted to

VGA using a DVI-VGA converter.

The DVI-D port supports only digital DVI displays. The maximum supported resolution

is 2048 x 1536 at 75 Hz refresh (QXGA). The DVI-D port is compliant with the

DVI 1.0 specification.
