The specification sheet of the the CSV-1460 mentions single screen setup 5120 × 2880 @60 Hz. 

Does it also support single screen setup 5120 × 2160 @60 Hz?

They are less pixels so I would say yes it should support it.

Maybe not. The CSV-1460 uses DisplayLink which is limited to HBR2 link rate.

I think 5120×2880 refers to dual cable 5K displays where each 2560×2880 half of the display uses a separate DisplayPort 1.2 HBR2 x4 connection.

5120×2160 displays don’t have a dual cable mode unless it’s through a Thunderbolt port (where the Thunderbolt port carries two DisplayPort HBR2 x4 connections – one for each 2560×2160 half of the display). Exactly which display do you have?

5120×2160 60Hz only requires 693 MHz pixel clock which should be doable with HBR2 x4 at 8bpc but I don’t think DisplayLink supports widths greater than 4K. Actually, https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/525038-displaylink-display-resolution-support says DisplayLink can do 5120×1440 60Hz. Maybe it can do 5120×2160 60Hz then (if it allows 8bpc)?

I guess first you should determine if the display will do 5120×2160 using HBR2 link rate from a normal GPU.
