Radeon HD 5770 at G27Q20 monitor, how set 2560x1440 mode?

deepforest · 2026-09-03 19:26:12

Hi!)
At my new 2K monitor i cant set 2560x1440 via hdmi
i am understand that limitation of hdmi specs at Radeon HD 5770

Video features
Multi-monitor:	Up to 4 displays
Maximum digital resolution:	2560 x 1600
Maximum DP resolution:	2560 x 1600
Maximum DVI resolution:	2560 x 1600
Maximum HDMI resolution:	1920 x 1200
Maximum VGA resolution:	2048 x 1536
Anti-Aliasing technologies:	24 x MSAA
24 x SSAA
Adaptive AA
HDMI:	Yes
HDMI version:	1.3

https://www.gpuzoo.com/GPU-ATI/Radeon_HD_5770.html

But under Windows i am apply this patch and can set 2k mode with no issues
https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thre … ck-Patcher

Is there similar bypass at Linux for set 2k resolution?

ps is it safe if i try use DVI > HDMI adapter for setup 2k resolution here via dvi?

Any ideas?
I am do not understand where is can be issue here?

My monitor have 2 x HDMI 2.0

Connectivity

Information about the available connectivity ports, slots and interfaces such as USB, infrared port, SD card slot, audio/video and network interfaces, etc.
	1 x USB 2.0 (Type-A; downstream; FW update only)
2 x HDMI 2.0
1 x DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC)
1 x 3.5 mm Audio Out

https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/9dd44578

My video car have 1x HDMI 1.3a

Outputs
    2x DVI
    1x HDMI 1.3a
    1x DisplayPort 1.1

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/r … -5770.c250

So.
According to this article on Wikipedia, it Max. TMDS character rate (MHz) 340
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_comparison

Here can not be limits 165MHz
https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thre … 5#pid10625

Why by default Linux open Radeon driver not detect 2K mode at 60Hz?
When i am try apply custom modes using cvt or cvt12 i get "No signal" from monitor?

Maybe it opensource Radeon driver issue?

How exactly are you using these?

Possibly.

HDMI 1.3 officially has a max pixel clock of 340MHz so this monitor's desired clock (241.5Mhz) should be supportable.

The EDID does not seem to be the issue. What does a plain xrandr output? Is 2560x1440 available?

Have you tired adding a custom mode using xrandr?

# 1. Define the new mode using the CVT-RB parameters
xrandr --newmode "2560x1440_60.00"  241.50  2560 2608 2640 2720  1440 1443 1448 1481 +hsync -vsync

# 2. Assign the mode to your active display output
xrandr --addmode HDMI-0 "2560x1440_60.00"

# 3. Switch the display to the new resolution
xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode "2560x1440_60.00"

That why i am asking.

PS
also answer from Artix forum

Don't bother with setting it through xorg, this won't work. You need to patch EDID directly.

but its unsafe and i am do not want do that

PPS
also if i try set custom EDID(i am grub bin from get-edid command) via kernel boot option its also not working.

also now working

,
Did you mean not working?

I'm close to certain EDID is not the problem so patching it will do nothing.

I notice the modelines you used are for 50Hz. Try the 60Hz from my post. Probably won't work, but just to confirm.

mean not, thanks

i am unsure too, also patching EDID can be destructive

i will try and inform here

As here mentioned author of AMD Patcher Utility for Windows, HDMI port at Linux lose half pixels

The patch changes that to 230 MHz, but I don't have a patch for Linux. You do need an active adapter to go beyond 165 MHz pixel clock. The other option is to reduce the refresh rate to 50 Hz to get under 165 MHz.

https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thre … 5#pid10625
So, i am apply that working mode

./cvt12 2056 1440 50 -b

xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode "2056x1440_50.00_rb2"

That's 2056px not 2560px horizontal. That'll work but it's not the native resolution of the monitor.

You can try the native resolution with 30Hz (nonstandard) or 40Hz (very nonstandard).

xrandr --newmode "2560x1440_30.00"  119.217 2560 2608 2640 2720 1440 1443 1448 1461 +hsync -vsync

xrandr --newmode "2560x1440_40.00"  159.609 2560 2608 2640 2720 1440 1443 1448 1467 +hsync -vsync
