Monitor resolution 5120x1440 on Intel HD530?

[KKell16]

Is it possible to use the monitor Samsung C49RG94 49", 5120x1440, 120Hz on the integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 in full resolution? Maybe even with a second monitor 1920x1200 24" or 3440x1440 34"? Thanks a lot!

Here's the pertinent information:

• The Intel HD Graphics 530 engine can support three output channels.
• If configured for HDMI 1.4 output, a channel can support a full 4K (4096x2304) monitor at up to 24Hz and a standard 4K (3840x2160) monitor at up to 30Hz.
  • Similarly, if configured for HDMI 1.4 output, a channel can support a 5120x1440 monitor at up to 30Hz.
• If configured for DisplayPort 1.2 output, a channel can support both standard and full 4K monitors at up to 60Hz.
  • Similarly, if configured for DisplayPort 1.2 output, a channel can support a 5120x1440 monitor at up to 60Hz.
• If configured for DisplayPort 1.2 output, multiple monitors can be connected to a channel using either DisplayPort daisy-chaining or a Multi-Stream Transport (MST) Hub.
  • When multiple monitors are connected to a DisplayPort 1.2 output channel, they share the bandwidth of this channel.
  • If two 4K monitors are connected to a single DisplayPort 1.2 output channel, they can each run at up to 30Hz.
  • If a standard 4K monitor and a 1080p monitor are connected to a single DisplayPort 1.2 output channel, they can each run at up to 60Hz!
• Regardless of the number of monitors that you could actually connect, the Intel HD Graphics 530 engine can simultaneously support up to three monitors.
  • If additional monitors are connected, they will remain blank.

Bottom line,

• Yes, your 5120x1440 can be supported, but at only 60Hz on a DisplayPort 1.2 output channel and at only 30Hz on a HDMI 1.4 output channel.
• Yes, you can potentially have an additional two 1080p, 2K and/or 4K monitors connected. This will be limited by the architecture of your motherboard's support for these output channels, however.

All this said, I have read a number of complaints from folks indicating that they had problems getting these ultra-wide monitors to work. I do not know if Intel Customer Support (@Bryce@Intel​?) was ever able to resolve these issues. Until they do, everything I have said is theoretical.

Hope this helps,
