Graphics Cards

[benabadbeat1]

Hey.

I have just bought a new ultrawide 49 inch monitor. I  own a PC with an AMD Radeon R9 200 Series. Unfortunately, I'm maxing out at 3840x1080 with no better resolution available. I tried downloading new software for my graphics card but was hit with an error - 'driver signature'. I'm not sure what that means.

Generally looking for some advice as I'm unsure if my graphics card is simply not good enough or if it is a driver issue.

Appreciate any help!

Need to post the specific Make & Model of your R9 200 series GPU Card.

For instance the Sapphire R9 290 has these Maximum Resolutions:

• Max Resolution Details
  DVI: 2560 x 1600 / DisplayPort: 4096 x 2160 / HDMI: 4096 x 2160

Another for instance the MSI R9 290 has these Maximum Resolutions:

Now if you have an previous R9 200 series GPU card other than R9 290 than you need to go to the Manufacturer's Support to find out its Maximum Resolutions.

Might be similar to what is showing above depending on the  Manufacturer of the GPU card.

You can use GPU-Z to find out the specific Make & Model of your GPU card.

NOTE: Try changing the Resolution Frequency to a lower Frequency from let say 60 Hz to 30 Hz and see if you are able to get the higher resolution on your new Monitor.

You can do that using Windows Settings - Display
