I think that is where the issue is at — when i connect the dock i am not seeing the 2.5 GbE connection, all I see is a Thunderbolt (TM) Controller (15BF). I also tried the CAC-1336 and that almost worked, I tried it with (1) monitor directly connected via USB C and the other monitor using the adapter. (the one connected with the CAC-1336) is a black screen, sound comes out but just cant get the picture to show.
I think that might be the Thunderbolt controller of your laptop.
The CAC-1336 should be able to work with USB-C displays or USB-C docks. The Apple Studio Display can work as a USB-C display so it should work.
The DisplayPort inputs of a Thunderbolt controller cannot be switched to one of the USB-C ports as far as I know. Anyway, even if that were possible, there's no software to make that happen.
That won't work your board needs to specifically support display passthrough or you have to add in an add on card. If you don't have passthrough, you need to have an igpu, for amd that would something like a 5600g
You're right. I've had no success with this solution. I ordered the ASUS ProArt Z790 with DP inputs as a replacement for the ROG Maximus. So feeding the ProArt DP input with the signal from the RTX and connecting the ASD to the MB thunderbolt is the plan.
The thunderbolt 4 cable that came with the asd will work just fine, any thunderbolt 3 or 4 certified cable will work including Cornings TB3 fiber optic ones
In my experience the Apple TB cable that comes with the Studio Display/Pro Display XDR does not play nicely with Windows PCs. Use a TB4 cable for best compatibility.
Mine has been working just fine on my Asus proart board, especially after deleting the machallsys driver from device manager and it's associated service
Thanks for doing this testing. It looks like Thunderbolt ports are not bi-directional when it comes to Displayport (you can't use a Thunderbolt port as a DP in).
You don't need 2 DP inputs for the Apple Studio Display if your GPU supports DSC.
So is the Apple Studio Display panel setup differently from the Ultrafine 5K? I must be confusing it with the older panel, because I think the Ultrafine 5k requires two separate DP IN's because the panel itself is split into two halves to overcome the DP 1.2 no DSC limitation back then.
Apple Studio Display supports the same kind of Thunderbolt input as the LG UltraFine 5K for GPUs that don't support DSC (dual HBR2 over Thunderbolt). It also supports a single HBR2 input like the LG UltraFine 5K for 4K60 or 5K39 (with custom timing and maybe also 5K47 if the Apple Studio Display is not limited to ≈600 MHz?). Thirdly, it supports HBR2 + DSC for GPUs that support DSC to get 5K60 10bpc RGB from a single DisplayPort connection. With Thunderbolt, you get 10 Gbps USB ports. With USB-C, you only get 480 Mb/s USB ports. LG UltraFine 5K USB is limited to 5 Gbps for Thunderbolt.
A separate question I had: Are you limited to one Apple Studio Display per Thunderbolt controller? On a M1 Max MacBook Pro I think each Thunderbolt port has a separate controller, so I could plug in multiple ASD's, one to each port. But on my desktop computer, although the motherboard has two Thunderbolt ports, I think they are both wired to the same Thunderbolt controller. SO there is only a single Thunderbolt controller on the motherboard. In this case, would I only be able to run one ASD via Thunderbolt?
On windows you're only limited by what is the max throughput of your gpu. For example on my 4090 if I have two displayport passthroughs into thunderbolt I can use each port to drive seperate displays, I've also driven two asd on a windows laptop using an Intel chip (Asus ux482)
A Thunderbolt controller usually has two DisplayPort inputs so it can output to two different displays.
what interface/cable are you using to connect to the monitor?Hello, i try to install the brightness controller, but i don't have the "vid:05ac pid:1114 rev:0201 mi:08" on Filter Wizard, how can i do ?
