hmmmm, 4K@30Hz

[Upinel]

Apple had update its description about the external Monitor support
it shows that Macbook only can output 4K @30Hz.

hmmmm, btw, still waiting for my Gold 1.3/512 expected. at 15/May

p.s. the HDMI adopter is running on HDMI 1.4b, anyone know will it works on 3440x1440@60Hz UQHD?

- Well, if it works with 3840x2160, it certainly should with lower resolutions.
Although this post suggest HDMI 1.4 won't do the full 60Hz at that resolution.

Has anyone been able to get UHD (3840x2160) at 60Hz using the Google's $39.99 USB Type-C to DisplayPort Cable?

What is the highest resolution the new MacBook can output to at 60Hz?

- I'm sure the cable itself could, but the MacBook can't. It'll only do 30Hz.

dealbreaker for me

Its because Apple does not offer a USB-C to mini-DP adapter. I am quite sure that the MB supports 4K@60fps output internally. The CPU itself supports it and the USB-C connector supports it. But maybe Apple wired it up in a weird way inside, who knows. I guess we will only know more when someone tries out a mini-DP adapter.

They will probably come out with a new "thunderbolt" display, but it will be USB-C. They are having such trouble keeping the AV multiport adapters in stock, and they probably did not realize how many people actually dock their macs.

- Ars Technica confirmed it'll only do 30Hz using Google's DP cable (which in itself does support 60Hz as it's DP 1.2), and Apple's specifications list 30Hz max as well.
The Intel GPU does support 60Hz, but Intel themselves recommend active cooling for that, which the rMB does not have.

I just won't do more than 30Hz.

It's Amazing...

.. that an uncooled laptop that is that thin and light does it at all to be honest. It wasn't that long ago that any laptop would struggle to output to a 1440 monitor.
