Subject: Z170 Extreme 4: DP1.2 and TB at the same time?
Posted: 01 Feb 2017 at 2:02am
@wardog: I don't WANT to have a graphics card since my CPU is already doing it well and supports 4K as well. It just adds noise, and I'm not a gamer, I do music production, so the more silent the computer case, the better. Also, I'm not daisy-chaining into a storage chain. My audio interface is connected through TB. But, for this to work, I need to sacrifice DisplayPort on my motherboard, which AIC card converts to TB.
My question still stands. I don't need a TB dock. I need to use DisplayPort on my motherboard BOTH for the 4K monitor I might get one day (which only supports max resolution at 60 Hz using DP 1.2, not HDMI or anything else), and I need to keep my audio interface connected to TB.
Hence my query here :)
