GPU, max resolution 2560 x 1600 but no 1080p support

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The graphics card in question, despite its maximum resolution of 2560x1600, does not officially support 1080p (1920x1080) due to potential limitations in its HDMI connector. Users report that their 32" LCD monitors recognize the input as 1080p, indicating a possible discrepancy in the specifications provided by the manufacturer. This situation suggests either a typographical error in the specs or a misunderstanding regarding the card's capabilities. For accurate information, users are advised to consult the detailed specifications on the manufacturer's website.

So I have this graphics card and I don't understand why its specs say "no" for 1080p support.

It says max resolution 2560x1600 and 1080p is only 1920x1080. I use a 32" LCD for my monitor and my resolution is set to 1920x1080. When I turn on the display it actually says "HDMI 1 - 1080p." If I had the resolution set low like 1024x768 when i turn on the display it would say "HDMI 1 - 1024x768" instead of 1080p. So how can the specs say no 1080p support when the max resolution is 2560x1080 and my TV is currently recognizing it as 1080p. Is it a type in the specs or am I not understanding something about resolutions.

They could mean that the HDMI connector doesn't support 1080p - but my guess is that they have made a mistake.
You coudl check the detailed specs on the card makers site
