Yes
I have the NVidia GeForce 730 graphics cards in my current Windows 10 system and currently running a 24" monitor. I'd like to get one of the BenQ SW2700 2560x1449 IPS monitors but I'm not sure if my card would support it.

The spec on the card says 3840x2160 Digital or 2048x1546 VGA. The spec for the BenQ monitor says 2560x1449. Most of that means very little to me so I'm hoping one of you bright souls will be able to help.

AFAIK you should be OK provided you connect using the Digital port on the graphics card......................which you will have use anyway because the monitor does not have a VGA analogue port. The BenQ model does look good with it's gamut range of AdobeRGB 99%, 100% sRGB :)

HTH :)

PS the figures refer to the (usable) display resolution. The figures being the maximum limits that can be used.

PS sometimes depending Windows doing its updating there is need to install more up to date drivers to take advantage of higher resolutions.........if you can find the driver version number that can be checked.

Thanks for all the help and all the information, really appreciated.
 
be fine for pics/editing but frame rates would probably be a bit slow if playing demanding pc games
