2560x1600p i believe.. The IGP is simply listed as Intel HD Graphics, with the GPU offering half the number of execution units (just 10) as its K-series counterparts

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/quick-reference-guide-to-intel-processor-graphics

4th generation Intel® Core™ processor family
(Intel® Iris™ Pro graphics 5200 / Intel® Iris™ graphics 5100, Intel® HD graphics 5000 / 4600 / 4400 / 4200)

DisplayPort* 1.2 / eDP*
H-Processors: 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz (Ultra-HD)
U-Processors: 3200 x 2000 @ 60 Hz, 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz
Y-Processors: 2560 x 1600 @ 60 Hz
HDMI*: 4096 x 2304, 3840 x 2160 @ 24 Hz / 24bpp
DVI: 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz

Effectively, it's probably going to be 1920x1200. Most motherboards that you'd use a G3258 with (i.e., low-end and midrange boards) won't have DisplayPort, and the DVI connection is apparently limited to 1920x1200.

FYI, I am using this info to purchase a monitor for a new low-power workstation based on this processor. Ideally I'd like something better than 1920x1080, but if the onboard graphics can't handle anything greater than that, then there is no point.

It's not that the IGP won't handle it, the board has to have DisplayPort for higher than 1920 X 1200 @ 60Hz..

alternatively you just go out and get a cheap ass video card and not worry about what the on board graphics can do

It's not that I don't believe you, I would just like to see the specs on the G3258 in black-and-white myself.

FYI, my MB is the ASRock B85M-ITX, which has HDMI and DVI. Am I am limited by the fact that this MB does not have a display port?

The Mini-ITX case & PS only have 90W total to work with, so an add-on video card is out.

Yes, nothing higher than 1920x1200 for your board. The specs of the G3258 aren't the determining factor here. The port is.

yes, stick with 1920x1200, go to mATX and get a H81 with DP, or just get the HP Stream Mini if you are looking for a tiny workstation.

DVI: 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz

But while the CPU may support it, the mobo and ports have to too. And the sad reality is that most, don't.

Burpo, can you post the link to where you got this? Thanks. :)

*So, since I have an HDMI port, I should be able to get greater than 1920x1200, correct?

You can get 2560 X 1440 working with HDMI 1.4, but it takes some tricks (CVT_RB Timing & Refresh @ 55Hz)

If you're buying a better than 1080 screen, it's probably best to get something that'll let you do that rather than spend way more on the price of a board that'll do it or an add-on card and not be happy with it.

But you cant return your board and exchange it for the MSI with DP? its just $5 more.

A Pentium workstation? Isn't that a contradiction?
