    Late 2013 15" MBP 4k@60Hz external monitor integrated GPU

    I'm curious if the A1398 2013 - 2014 15" MacBook Pros can drive an external 4k display at 60Hz over thunderbolt DisplayPort using the integrated GPU. It's working great for me but it's making me use the dedicated GPU. If I force the integrated GPU using gfxStatus, the external display remains...

    How to connect a 2018 Mac Mini to a Mini DisplayPort Monitor with 4K@60 Hz

    I recently bought the Samsung 27" ViewFinity S90PC 5K monitor (their competitor to the 27" Apple Studio Display). Besides a Thunderbolt 4 input, this monitor also offers a second input via Mini DisplayPort. The Thunderbolt 4 input is already occupied by my Mac Studio. I am looking to connect a...

    16 MBP M3 Max + Gaming PC sharing a LG 38inch Gaming Monitor. DisplayPort KVM switch vs HDMI on MBP?

    Hi all. I just pulled the trigger on a new M3 Max 16-inch (STOKED!). I have a 38-inch LG ultrawide monitor (LG 38GL950G-B), which is currently hooked up to my gaming PC via DisplayPort. It's a great monitor that supports up to 175hz, HDR (technically), and is 3840x1600. I'm hoping to easily...

    Dual DisplayPort monitors from a single Thunderbolt 4 port? (14" M2 MacBook Pro)

    I've searched the forum and I can't find anyone asking (or answering) this exact question: Can the 14" MBP M2 drive 2 DisplayPort monitors from a single thunderbolt port? I've tried a couple of Dell docks (Thunderbolt and one that required DisplayLink drivers) but neither do the job, unlike my...

    MacBook Pro 14 M1 Pro/Max/Ultra no HDMI 2.1 but...

    I like to ask and discuss where on the MacBook Pro M1 series are limited to HDMI 2.0. I am quite puzzled by the fact that this is not an M1 CPU/GPU bandwidth limitation? My MacBook Pro M1 Pro is capable of running 4K at 120Hz/144Hz(DSC) with the following setup: - USB-C to USB-C Monitor Alt-DP...

    Mac mini 2018 DisplayPort 1.4

    Hello, Is Mac Mini 2018 compatible with DisplayPort 1.4 using USB-C to DP1.4 cable? Right now, I'm using a USB-C to DP1.2 cable and it works without any problem at 1440p@120Hz 10-bit. But I'd like to test if I could get 1440p@144Hz 10-bit with newer USB-C to DP1.4 cables or if the computer's...

    Mac Studio not sending video signal to monitor after long time off

    I've had a Mac Studio for two weeks now. While I love it, I've come across a couple of issues I'm not too happy about. One was a kernel panic caused by Onedrive, and to me, no matter how bad a program might be, an OS should be strong enough to kill it and not let it bring the whole system down...

    Hi, I have a 2021 14" m1 mbp, and would like to connect it to two 5120x2880 monitors. I know I cannot daisy chain two LG Ultrafine 5ks, or two Apple Studio Displays, but I wasn't sure if I could daisy chain two PROLITE XB2779QQS-S1s. According to this thread, they use a single DisplayPort 1.4...

    M1 Max to Displayport correct cable

    I need to connect my M1 Max to a 6 year old NEC Multi sync display. The cables I'm seeing at Amazon and elsewhere do not have the same adapter as the ports on my machine, shown below. Aren't these the two ports Displayports? If so, what am I missing?

    Three 4k monitors on Sonnet Echo 11 Thunderbolt 4 Dock w/ M1 Max?

    Sonnet's own compatibility matrix suggests that using three 4k monitors via their dock is possible (with the caveat that you apparently need to use their Thunderbolt 3 to Dual DisplayPort Adapter). Theoretically that should be possible since 4k60 uses ~12Gbps bandwidth, and hence 36gbps total...

    I recently had an issue with my XFX R9 280X with MAC EFI and two brand new BenQ PD2700U monitors. The monitors connect via Thunderbolt cables (and you can plug a Thunderbolt cable in to Mini DisplayPort to get video output only). Upon powering on the system and trying only one BenQ monitor, it...
