Guys I have a quick motherboard question that I need answered fast.

So I'm ordering parts for my mom's build and I noticed something weird. She doesn't game and doesn't need a GPU so I was just going to use the onboard graphics. But I noticed this in the motherboard specs....

Supports HDMI with max. resolution 4096 x 2160 @ 24 Hz / 2560 x 1600 @ 60 Hz

 

 

Does that mean that it won't display 1080p @ 60Hz? What the hell?

That can't be right, can it?

You can run 1080p 60 just fine.

 

What system specs?

With the on board graphics and no GPU?

It's an Asus H110 motherboard and an i5 6500.

 

I tried looking this up and I don't know, this might be an actual thing? Like the on board graphics won't do 1080p @ 60Hz.

that's the maximum it supports, not the minimums, not the 1080p

Thats just the max res listed, it will run lower res's just fine.

 

Id get a i3 aswell.

Damn it. I'm so freakin stupid. I've been looking at parts all day and I was reading that like "1060." Ugh. Ignore this topic. It never happened.

HDMI can send to the monitor a finite amount of data,  which can be arranged in various ways .. the resolution and the number of frames per second are like  width, depth and height of a container full of water or any other material.  The width, height and depth can vary as long as the total quantity of material inside remains the same.

 

Since 1920 x 1080 at 60 hz fits inside 2560 x 1600 x 60 hz , the video card will be able to transmit it to the monitor.

 

2560 x 1600 x 60 = 245,760,000 pieces of information (like grains of sand or water molecules).

4096 x 2160 x 24  = 212,336,640 pieces, which is less than the above so it would work

1920 x 1080 x 60 = 124,416,000 pieces, of course they fit.
