boogi Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I'm trying to run dual Dell 27" U2713HM displays at 2560x1440 resolution and have the following setup:- Intel i5 2500k at 4.2ghz- Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 - SAPPHIRE Vapor-X 100283VX-2L Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5Both monitors are hooked up via DVI. The first display runs fine at 2560x1440 resolution, but if I try to run the second display at full 2560x1440 resolution, the output looks green and fuzzy (see attachment). The second display runs fine at 1920x1080 resolution though. I'm not running any graphics kexts, and I'm only using the correct DSDT for my motherboard/bios. Would changing any settings in my Chameleon boot file help out? It's current set to:AtiConfig: VervetAtiPorts: 4 Does this mean that my video card simply can't support dual displays at 2560x1440? Or is there anything else that's possibly going on? If I have to buy a better video card, what's the cheapest one that I can get that will solve this problem (I don't really game at all on my computer, so it doesn't have to be the best video card).Thanks in advance!

dcai777 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 check to see if the second monitor's dvi cable is dual-link 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogi Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Wow, that was it. I just bought the second monitor refurbished from Dell Outlet and they sent it with a normal DVI cable instead of a dual-link one. Luckily, my first one (bought new) came with the correct DVI cable, so I swapped cables to confirm that was the issue. Now I have to go buy another dual-link one. Thanks a lot! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
