You’re right, not only do they not specify details in that page, they don’t even give specifications in the video-card pages either (I guess for some reason, AMD just doesn’t think users need to know that stuff ¬_¬
). Curiously, resolution information is not specified in comparison charts for the AMD cards, nor even for the series-specific charts.
Nontheless, fortunately, specifications are not difficult to find. Google 6530D resolution
to get this page (figure 1). Even better, the answer is right there in the search results (figure 2).
That card supports different resolutions depending on what mode the output is and what cable is being used (figure 3):
- The maximum digital resolution (using a DVI or HDMI cable) is 2560×16001
- The maximum analog resolution (when using a VGA cable) is 2048×1536
1Note, that to actually achieve a resolution of 2560×1600 with a DVI cable, you must use a Dual-Link cable, either integrated (-I) or digital only (-D) will work, as long as it doesn’t have that gap in the middle of the pins.

You need to specify the motherboard and the port too (DVI, HDMI, DP, etc). For example the specifications for the Gigabyte GA-A75-D3H motherboard say this about the onboard graphics: "1 x DVI-D port, supporting a maximum resolution of 2560x1600; 1 x HDMI port, supporting a maximum resolution of 1920x1200".
