Re: Graphics cards and Monitors for the shack/ DXLabs
|
Henk, thank you.? It is not yet clear to me that my system will handle 4K monitors.? I need to learn more, but I read that Dell made several design choices in the XPS 8950 that may limit resolutions depending on the version of 8950.? Some seem to have motherboard limitations and DisplayPort version 1.2.? Some had add on Intel 730 graphics cards that offer higher performance, or so I read.? I need to learn more.
Thanks for the insight.

Hi,
The Intel UHD 730 chipset supports 4k resolution. (Max
4096x2160@60Hz).
Depending on the motherboard you might not need an additional
graphics card.
I use a 32 inch 4K monitor.
Make sure it has all possible inputs: HDMI, Displayport and
USB-C. Then you can use it for future computers.

I hope this is not too far off topic.? I'm researching
graphics cards and monitors to upgrade my shack to have more
DXLabs and WSJT-X?windows.? My current monitor is a TV/Monitor
that just does not offer enough room for much more than WSJT-X
or DXKeeper.? I do understand that I do not need all windows
open at once to be able to use DXLabs.? I gave my daughter my
old monitor and it allowed so much more on the screen while
maintaining good detail.
My problem is I have not yet been able to define the use
case so I can decide which combination of capabilities is best
for ham radio.? There is a good general reference on this
subject in the DXLab references.? Written by? Dave, W6DE, it
is:? ?
My computer?has an Intel UHD 730 graphics card (max
resolution is 1920 x 1080p but 1360 x 760p is recommended).?
It may well be too basic for a UHD or 4K monitor (3840 x
2160p), and I'm not yet convinced that a QHD 1440p monitor
will meet my needs.? I'm seeing UHD graphics cards designed
for gaming or photo editing that seem to cost as much as a
monitor.? I'm doubting that hams need all that graphics power
but I don't actually know what capability I need to have.? My
real goal is to be able to place most of the DXLabs windows up
at once with enough sharpness to read all the details.
I'm looking to understand what is needed in a new graphics
card to match a 4K/UHD or a 1440p monitor without breaking the
bank, grin.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks
