Intel DQ57TM Product Guide

Intel Desktop Board DQ57TML Product Guide
16
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.
Digital Visual Interface Graphics
Intel Desktop Board DQ57TML supports Digital Visual Interface (DVI) displays with a
DVI-D port.
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.
VGA Graphics
Intel Desktop Board DQ57TML supports VGA displays with a VGA connector on the
back panel. The maximum supported resolution is 2048 x 1536 at a 75 Hz refresh
rate (QXGA).
PCI Express* x16 Graphics
The Intel Core i7, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i3, and Intel Pentium processors in an
LGA1156 socket support discrete add-in graphics cards via the PCI Express 2.0 x16
add-in card connector. The board supports the following PCI Express speeds:
• PCI Express 2 frequency of 2.5 GHz which results in 5.0 Gb/s in each direction
(500 MB/s) per lane. The maximum theoretical bandwidth on the interface is
8 GB/s in each direction, simultaneously, when operating in x16 mode.
• PCI Express 1 frequency of 1.25 GHz resulting in 2.5 Gb/s each direction
(250 MB/s) per lane. The maximum theoretical bandwidth on the interface is
4 GB/s in each direction, simultaneously, when operating in x16 mode.
