Intel Desktop Board DQ57TM Product Guide

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.

NOTE

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

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 be converted to High- Definition Multimedia Interface* (HDMI*) output using a DisplayPort-HDMI converter.

DisplayPort’s maximum supported display resolution is 2560 x 1600 at a 60 Hz refresh rate with a 16:10 aspect ratio (WQXGA). DisplayPort 1.1 adds support for High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) version 1.3 which enables viewing of protected content from Blu-ray Disc* and HD-DVD optical media over DisplayPort 1.1 connections.

Digital Visual Interface

Intel Desktop Board DQ57TM supports Digital Visual Interface (DVI) displays with two back panel ports: a DVI-D port and a DVI-I port.

The DVI-I port supports both digital and analog DVI displays. The maximum supported resolution is 2048 x 1536 at a 75 Hz refresh rate (QXGA). The DVI-I port is compliant with the DVI 1.0 specification. DVI analog output from the DVI-I port can be converted to VGA for viewing on a VGA display using a DVI-VGA converter.

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.
