Modern screen designs use the "Plug and Play" function to set the
optimum parameters automatically. To do this, they use the DDC
(

hannel). If the monitor and the graphics card are
DDC-compatible, they exchange their information via the operating
system and adjust to one other optimally.
Please follow the instructions in your monitor’s user manual.
Games and graphics applications can take up a great deal of
memory. It is not only the speed of the CPU that is crucial for
problem-free running, but also the size of the graphics card
memory. The capacity of the available graphics memory is crucial
for the number of colours and their resolution that can be
displayed, as the colour information for the red, green and blue
(RGB) colour elements must be provided for each pixel. Graphics
cards with a low memory capacity only have a limited range of
colours. Essentially, the resolution of a graphics card depends on
the graphics card memory, the refresh rate and the colour depth.
The higher the resolution and colour depth, the lower the refresh
rate.
