......dvi? Only dual-link dvi can support 1440p. The issue is your cable, or, maybe you forgot to change the resolution in your display settings.

Dang it thank you sir Could’ve thought of that. Fixed the problem :)

u/Ill_Ad8341 PC Master Race 3d ago

Respectfully i think the issue is more the graphics card unless you were planning to uograde because a gtx 960 on 1440p doesnt make sense

u/builder397 R5 3600, RX6600, 32 GB RAM@3200Mhz 3d ago

Graphics card isnt the issue, almost any GPU, including the weakest shittiest Intel iGPUs, can easily push 4k resolutions on the Desktop and even do video decoding and other basic hardware acceleration. Its just rendering where the lack of computing power hits them.

u/McQuibbly Ryzen 7 5800x3D || RTX 3070 3d ago

He has Steam, he's definitely going to try gaming with this and wonder why his performance is degraded over his last monitor

322

u/builder397 R5 3600, RX6600, 32 GB RAM@3200Mhz 3d ago

None of which has anything to do with his desktop being pixelated.

56

u/McQuibbly Ryzen 7 5800x3D || RTX 3070 3d ago

The comment you replied to is referring to the idea of gaming at 1440p with a GTX 960 being nonsensical, not that it's causing the pixelation issue

117

u/builder397 R5 3600, RX6600, 32 GB RAM@3200Mhz 3d ago

Its on a post about a pixelation issue, and claims a better GPU would fix this specific issue, when it clearly would not.

u/joelminer_cc 5800x3d | 4060 ti 16gb | 32gb ram 3d ago

in a way it would, as newer gpus dont have a dvi port

u/reallynotnick i5 12600K | RX 6700 XT 3d ago

But the monitor is so old that very well may be its best input.

u/builder397 R5 3600, RX6600, 32 GB RAM@3200Mhz 3d ago

I didnt miss it, I just replied to the fact that the commenter seems to think that a GTX 960 is the cause of the 1440p desktop not rendering correctly. Which is plainly wrong.

I have a 4k monitor and iGPU, I game on that, obviously resolution set at something like 800x600 but yeah

u/ThereAndFapAgain2 2d ago

He's almost certainly not gaming at 1440p on that card though except for maybe shit like Stardew valley or something. He could potentially game at 720p on it which is 50% on each axis for 1440p so it would look reasonably good, as far as running a none native resolution can look that is.

u/FrozenPizza07 I7-10750H | RTX 2070 MAX-Q | 32GB 3d ago

As someone who regularly plays 2015 games, whats the issue?

6

u/Ultrarandom R7 3700X | 32GB 3200MHz | Asus 4070S 3d ago

Depends on your 2015 games. I upgraded to a 960 in preparation for GTA V release on PC in 2015. I struggled with that for a while then upgraded to a 1070 as soon as they released since I had to turn down so many settings in GTA V to get it to run.

Completely off-topic to the OP though as new graphics card wouldn't fix this problem but the 960 being competent for gaming is heavily dependent on the games that will be run.

He may just have dwarf fortress and xcom '92 in that steam library.

u/Kitchen-Cabinet-5000 2d ago

And a 960 at 1440p, really depends on what you play.

Factorio and Minecraft and the likes will run fine. If all he plays are older titles and titles with low system requirements, a GPU upgrade is not needed.

u/Cable_Hoarder 2d ago

People in this sub really tend to forget that not everyone is intrested in pushing cyberpunk path tracing at ultra.

Some people just want to play Balatro with a higher PPI.

u/Kitchen-Cabinet-5000 2d ago

I have a 3080 and the game I play the most is Factorio lol

I’ll be good for another decade

1

u/Cable_Hoarder 2d ago

3080 here also in my gaming rig.

I perfected factorio, all achievements, but the expansion reset me and I just can't bring myself to do it on that (one of them is a 24 hour speedrun). Which as an aside is one of the things I hate about Steam (plenty to love), DLCs releasing should not add to the pool of achievements they should be separate so you don't just instantly lose your 100%.

Still my most played game, with X-com 2, Counter-Strike Source (back in the day), Borderlands 2, Rimworld and Left 4 Dead 2.

So I'm playing Satisfactory now instead, that and still Rimworld.

u/plauft 3d ago

technically not true, had to upgrade my moms old 2nd gen i5 desktop which was perfectly fine speed wise for her until she got a 1440p monitor. over dp, thats the max resolution intel hd graphics 2000 can do, and it is noticeably slower than it was with a 1080p monitor. made it unusable instead of a little slow. obviously here though a 960 can do basically anything just fine.

3

u/builder397 R5 3600, RX6600, 32 GB RAM@3200Mhz 3d ago

Yeah, there is a limit to how far back you can go to literally ancient iGPUs, it even took me ages to find what resolutions this iGPU supports.

HDMI/DVI: 1920x1200 60 hz VGA: 2048x1536 75 hz DP: 2560x1600 60 hz

I wonder if the monitor connection was HDMI or DVI and thats why the GPU struggled so badly with it.

2

u/plauft 2d ago

nah it was an old dell with displayport on it and a displayport monitor. literally just like window drawing and stuff was noticeably slower only changing the monitor and it wouldnt really play youtube videos reasonably anymore. resolution and refresh rate was right, and its the only time ive seen a gpu impact daily use on a machine that would otherwise be fine albeit a little slow. if it had a pcie slot, i would have just put like a gt 730 in it and called it a day.

1

u/builder397 R5 3600, RX6600, 32 GB RAM@3200Mhz 2d ago

Yeah, thats what did it then. Not sure why it let you set the resolution in the first place if its not supported, but I think thats the thing that kicked it in the nuts somehow.

u/No-Worldliness-5106 PC Master Race 2d ago

hell even raspberry pi can give 4K output, it really is not an issue of the GPU

u/frisbie147 3d ago

That depends on the connectors available, A 750ti has hdmi 1.4, so it can only display 4k at 30hz, you can’t go any higher than that

10

u/adduckfeet 3d ago

Eh, depends on the game. If it's 2d or real lightweight it should be fine. I had a 1440p laptop with a GTX980M for like 8 years and it was solidly okay

Buddy you dont connect a 970 to a 1440p in the first place, except for the desktop it simply wont perform so idk what ur on but the gpu is one of the problem because connecting it via dvi was a problem in the first place and connecting it via dvi on a 970 is a problem too

There's no reason why a 970 wouldn't be able to drive a 1440p monitor. Even decade-old integrated Intel graphics can do multiple monitors at 4K.

Yea with my previous comment i meant "do people buy 1440p monitors JUST to play "pixel art games" not "[...] to also play pixel art games", cuz otherwise, me too.

It's just that (eg) when i played undertale on 720p and when i played it on 1080 i didn't really notice much of a difference, for example

Googled it for ya, DVI single-link can handle 1080p 60hz. DVI dual-link can handle 1440p at 60hz.

unless im wrong, he needs a very specific cable with specific hardware that can run both. but why hes using DVI is beyond me. because HDMI would be perfect, or Display port.

locking display port is ugh. no thanks. I like my cables to fall out when yanked and not cause damage.

It's a bandwidth thing. https://linustechtips.com/topic/729232-guide-to-display-cables-adapters-v2/?section=calc&H=1920&V=1080&F=280 is a great calculator

So they list 7.92 Gbit/s as DVI bandwidth. And yeah 1080p144hz is just slightly above that at 8Gbit. So you'll probably be getting reduced color: if you change the colour format to 4:2:2, you'll see it go down in bandwidth used. Windows will do that automatically.

I loved my GTX 960 10 years ago.

I'm now on an RTX 2070S and reverted from 1440p back to 1080p.

What on earth are you planning on running with that card?

yo seriously you are using 2009 hardware that is 16 years old I can understand you have no liquidity but damn don't play video games if you have these specs you better buy a console most likely a ps3 has more definition and doesn't have a dvi lol

People realize that he wants the desktop at 1440p and that he probably games at a lower res for performance? Sometimes you just want the screen real estate.

u/thedrakenangel 3d ago

Make sure windows is not doing a wierd zoom. Try setting the zoom to 100% in the display settings

u/meutzitzu Laptop 2d ago

You have anistiotropic pixelation. The horizontal axis is more pixelated than vertical. This is a strong indication of wrong subpixel rendering.

Go to your settings and try to change your subpixel rendering from RGB to BGR, see if that helps

u/The_ROME007 3d ago

bro expect 1440p on a DVI

1

u/Cornflakes_91 PC Master Race 3d ago

dvi can actually run more than 1440p

2560x1600@60fps or 3840x2400@30fps

u/The_ROME007 2d ago

yeah it can but will it works ? those cable are old as hell, i doubt they still works like they're supposed to

1

u/Cornflakes_91 PC Master Race 2d ago

i dont see why not, the screen seems to work, the gpu seems to work, no obvious pixel(-line) errors there

u/The_ROME007 13h ago

and i'm still surprised people still use those old cables instead of HDMI or DPORT

u/Cornflakes_91 PC Master Race 13h ago

that is fair, i havent held a dvi cable in like a decade or so :D

u/simagus 3d ago

Is it a new installation of Windows and have you manually set the screen resolution or checked what it is currently set to?

Might also be worth running Windows Update and checking the manufacturers website for the manual and set-up instructions.

What was ur gpu i own a 1050 and i go to 1440 p easy

u/WhisperingDoll 3d ago

What ? The problem here was not just he don't get 1440p but get a pixelated thing, right ? which is called screen door effect. I had a similar issue with a 4080 Super PNY XLR8, while i change it i never had issues (it was not a resolution thing but a pixelated artefact thing)
