I'm baffled that Microsoft have better support for Apple's hardware than Apple does.

What are they playing at?!
Windows drivers come directly from nVidia AFAIK.
So it's not exactly Microsoft's achievement.

Have you all seen this? http://alex4d.com/notes/item/macbook-pros-run-4k-display-at-60hz

Sounds like the hardware definitely supports it, but perhaps only under Windows?

Yes, I've seen it and I am holding onto some hope in the up and coming Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 update.
Any developers know if this issue has been resolved with the new Mavericks update?

So if I'm correct, we need an update for the DisplayPort 1.2’s Multi-Stream Transport (MST) to be enabled, as it is in the MacPro.

This will allow us to connect to a Ultra HD monitor from our MacBook Pros (Late 2013) Thunderbolt 2 port.

Anyone have any more information? :confused:

Hi there, I have a rMPR13 late 2013 and a Dell UP3214Q 4K-Display. When I connect the Dell via HDMI, it will be recognized, but only 30 Hz are possible, of course. When I connect it via Thunderbolt cable, it will not be recognized. I talked with Apple Support. They told me I have to connect a MiniDP/DVI adapter and the take a DVI/miniDP cable (because the thunderbolt cable isn't recognized as a display cable). Has everyone tested that construction? It sounds crazy.

Do you have Windows on your machine? Can you try it via Windows and tell us whether it works (with 60 Hz)?

Thanks.
 
I searched a lot on the internet and found some things:
Iris can do 4K at 60HZ but only over Mini Display Port 1.2 (and for whatever reason, it looks like this is not implemented in OS X yet? whiskey tango foxtrot? So in order to get this you have to run windows 8 on your mac -- LMAO!) -- not HDMI.

Hope this helps. Looking forward to trade my 15" 2012 rMBP for a late 2013 13" rMBP.
 
Confirmed 4k @60hz Macbook pro retina

I just got an Asus PB287Q which I connected to my late 2013 macbook pro retina.
(the top spec model; dedicated gpu, 16GB ram)

I first connected it with the HDMI cable the monitor came with.
It worked at 4k but only at 30hz.

I then ordered a minidisplay port to display port cable.
The trick is to get a 1.2 display port cable and connect it to the mbp retina.
In my case it also required manually setting the monitor to use display port 1.2 (the default was 1.0)

(running osx yosemite)
(PS: scaling works brilliantly, much much better then windows)

Hi,

I bought a mini displayport to display port cable but I still can't do retina-like double pixel scaling. I tried on 10.10.2 and 10.10.3 and I don't get the scaling options, and only at 30 Hz.

Are you using 10.10.2 or 10.10.3 ? I'm not using the dedicated GPU version of the late retina macbook, maybe that's why it won't work ? The monitor is configured at MiniDisplayPort 1.2

Anyone have any ideas or should I send back my PB287Q ?
