Hi all,

I'm going to buy a new Intel Nuc 6 and I was wondering which is better or this purpose: I have to use a 1280x800 resolution, so I have to choose between the intel Nuc 6i3 with HD 520 graphic and the intel nuc 6i5 with iris 540.

I've searched for these 2 graphic card but I didn't find complete list of all the resolutions supported...since I've already tried a Nuc 5i3 that I have and it doesn't display well at this resolution, I ask you if it is possible to have a certified list of all the resolutions supported and if someone has already tested it.

thank you

Luca

Hi lupoz91,

 

 

The 6i5SYK comes with HD Iris™ 540 and 6i3SYK comes with HD 520. Both support the same maximum resolution of:

 

 

HDMI 1.4b: 4096x2304@24Hz

 

miniDP1.2: 4096x2304@60Hz

 

eDP1.2: 4096x2304@60Hz

 

 

The link below compares both processors

All the 6th gen NUCs are capable to support 1280x800 resolutions.

Thanks MIke,

I'm asking since I have a Intel NUC 5i3RYH and we have some problem setting 1280x800 resolution.

5th series also supports officially the 1280x800 resolution?

Hi lupoz91,

 

 

The 5th gen NUCs supports the maximum resolutions

 

 

HDMI 1.4a: 2560x1600@60Hz

 

DP: 3840x2160@60Hz

 

 

Now, it is possible to decrease the resolution if the TV or Monitor supports it.

 

 

Regards,
