Hello Linguica,
Did not hear this one yet …
How did you setup the 4K 60Hz ? Using SwitchResX for that ?

[MST1407]

Hi Cabouret,
Well if it all works well on the MacBook Pro at least we know all the parts are working.
With regards to the Mini MAC, you amde a custom resolution for 3840x2160p at 60Hz with Timing standard set to CVT-Redeced Blanking (RB), saved it and then after rebooting system selected it with TV connected and on?
Will have support send you the checklist as well with some tips for MAC’s for your reference although you seem like a knowledgeable user …

Hello Criag,

It often works best for setups with TV’s is to make a custom resolution for, in this case , 1920x1080p at 60 Hz with Timing Standard set to CVT-Reduced Blanking (RB).

As for drivers for the R9 290. I think Driver version 16.8.3 is overall working best. I know AMD made many small driver updates after that, however all aimed at RX400 series and non that I know of for R7/9 200 or 300 Series. 

I do hear end-users with R7/9 200/300 series Cards reporting that 16.12.1 also works quite decent for them. Did not test that myself yet, but aparently AMD enabled the option for making Custom Resolutions again in that version.

On most Sony TV you will also need to do a setting:

Check setting for the TV . For most Sony TV’s you need to enable “Enhanced Mode” in the settings of the TV and please also check you are using the correct

HDMI input. Use either ‘Game’ or ‘Graphics’ mode, and then go to ‘Settings -> ‘External Inputs’ -> ‘HDMI Signal Format’ and choose ‘Enhanced.’

Hi Friendkiller96,

For your R9 390X I think Driver version 16.8.3 is overall working best. I know AMD made many small driver updates after that, however all aimed at RX400 series and non that I know of for R7/9 200 or 300 Series. So please try this:

Uninstall the Graphics driver and all related Graphics software like Afterburner/GPU-Z or whatever graphics related software you might have installed.

Best way to remove Driver Software is to boot Windows in Safe mode, so the registry can also be cleaned. If your system does not allow you to do that, you can also use a program like DDU to remove such software: http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/

Reboot and manually download and install 16.8.3 graphics driver (don’t let auto installer from Windows do that). You can find that here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/previous/detail?os=Windows%2010%20-%2064&rev=16.8.3

I will have [email protected] send you an email with latest firmware for the MST Hub so you can update it.
One more question: You are using normal HDMI Cables to go from MST HUB to Screens ?

[MST1407]

i forwarded your suggestion to Product Managment and R&D … you be the first to knwo when i hear something back 🙂

Setups with TV’s normally work best by making a custom resolution for 3840x2160p at 60Hz with timing standard set to CVT-Redecued Blanking (RB). On MAc OSx you will need  aprogram like SwitchResX to be able to do that Timing Setting.

Within the boudries of what the adapter can handle, that would be depending on the capability of the system and normally mainly on what the screen can handle …

Hi Haycan07,

Sorry for the delay of this reaction.
What Tablet are we talking about (brand and Type) ?

We do have CSV-1530 Mini Dockings Stations that have a USB Type C uplink and a Ehternet + USB3.0 port + a USB Type C Connectir for Charging only …

Thanks for the feedback and good to hear you got it working 🙂

Hi Friendkiller96,

What Graphics driver ar you currently using ?

[MST1407]

What often works best for setups with TV’s is to make a custom resolution for 3840x2160p at 60 Hz with Timing Standard set to CVT-Reduced Blanking (RB).

For MAC OSx you will need a program like SwitchResX to be able to do that setting for the Timing Standard.

 

Please make sure your HDMI cable is capable of doing 4K at 60 Hz. You said you have a “High Speed” cable, but that only garantees 3840×2160 at 30Hz … the “premium high speed”

Versions should be made for 3840×2160 at 60Hz. Don’t get me wrong here, I am not saying your cable is not good or that is not able to do it, but please check and make sure.

A Premium High Speed Cable no longer then 3 meters / 10 ft is preferred. Does not have to cost all that much, in the US you can already buy our Certified cable for about 17 USD.

When running in 3840x2160p at 60Hz at 4:4:4 you will need to set the BPC to 8Bit (if that is not done by the Graphics Software automatically).

Please note I am talking BPC not BPP.

Good day SmellySock999,

Sorry fo the late reply. Normally Graphics Card do not support  more than 6 screens, So connecting 3 x MST Hub with 3 outputs won’t enable you to connect more than those 6 screens. Yes it should be possibel to just place a second card, and it wouldbe even better if that would work on the same driver to prevent conflicts. With 2 cards in a system you should be able to go  up to connecting 12 screens.
With regards to Multi Monitor setups, with AMD Based cards this is normally a bit “easier” than with Nvidia Based cards, also because the driver already comes with Eyefinity Mulit Monitor software…

[MST1407]

That is Bits Per Pixel (BPP) you are talking about. This grpahcis show Bits per Color (BPC), not the same thing. And i dont think Intel will give you the option to do setting on the BPC.
