hi all, did the serching on the forum and couldnt really find the answer to my issue but wanted some advice as i think its a limitation and wanted to get some reccomendations on what to buy to over come my issue.
All was a slow process as was in between house move and birth of my 2nd daughter.
PC specs:
my main PC which i built using a gigabyte Z77X-D3H S1155 Intel Z77 DDR3 ATX running Core i7-3770K.
i didnt bother getting a GPU as it has both HDMi and DVI out.
initially i was using a single 27" Liyama and then purchased the second.
Issue:
DVI > perfect colours
HDMI > seems washed out
did the usual swapping them around, calibrating etc problem just flips from one when swapping screens etc.
so doing some homework i belive this may be a limitation for the HD4000.
what im looking for is dual DVI GPU, dont need hdmi or display port.
dont need hdmi as not passing any audio either as thats direct to my amp.
I know HDMi should put out as good as DVI but think the HD4000 and maybe the combination of the mobo makes the hdmi res very poor. just thought that i should have tried HDMI to a single monitor on its own, but i need two so makes no difference.
was looking at the sapphire Flex but thought id ask if any other recomendations?
i knwo that at least with a dedicated GPU both outputs will be mirrored in quality.
what i need is silent, low power consumption and good as the HD4000 or slighthly better.
i even thought that just add an old gpu with dvi and run the second monitor from that, but my oldest card is a sapphire 4670 ultimate from my older pc.
id rather keep inside as that PC will be used somewhere else.
so as im looking to buy a new GPU i may as well get one that handles both screens or am i wrong?
