Question 1

Can this device replicate a DUAL display port output of 2560x1600 @ 60Hz, from a single 660 GTi NVIDIA based video card? My card only has ONE display port monitor output, and I have TWO Dell 30" (2560x 1600 @60Hz) Monitors.

Hello Cleveland. I don't have all the answers to your questions unfortunately but I promise you what I do know will save you a lot of grief that I had to deal with. Understand, I am just another consumer that happened to recently buy a couple of these things and the distributor asked if I could help you out. So here we go. After 2 weeks of researching what items I could use to put together an architectural video wall, I found out about the MST hub. The problem is, this nice inexpensive little device wasn't marketed until April 2013 and out of Europe, so there isn't many people in the U.S. that even know it exists! There are so many variables to making it function properly as well. I don't think the problem would be the resolution you are trying to achieve. The problem would more likely be on your video card. The MST Hub is pretty basic and simple in appearance but it has to be getting it's feed from a high end video card or it won't work. Also, I highly recommend you go to Club 3D's web page. There you will find active adapters and passive adapters for various formats that are known and proven to work with the hub. I made a mistake of buying some generic passive adapters from newegg.com and they didn't work with the hub. Now here is the most important thing you need to know: Call AMD technologies and ask all the questions you want. They have quality tech support and they make the processors for the MST hub. The man that helped me figure out what video card to buy took the time to research the specs and give me brand and model numbers to about 8 video cards that were guaranteed to work with the hub because they make the processors for the video cards as well. If your video card is up to the job, they will know and make life easier for you. That is, after you get them on the phone! Expect to be on hold for 30 to 45 minutes! But hey, they got all your answers, right? Good luck to you!

Question 2

Will this work with the Surface Pro 2?
 
the Surface Pro 2 With integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400 anyone have test it?

and it needs an adapter to mini disply port

Accepted Answer

I have yet to get this to work with my Surface Pro 2.  It may be the mini-displayport adapter, still waiting for support to answer.

Question 3

Does this work with the Microsoft Surface 3? From my understanding this would not work because the Surface uses a MiniDisplay Port. Would you need a minidisplay port to display port adapter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I use two of these monitors.  I used them with a Surface Pro 2, and now with a Surface Pro 3, and they are fantastic.  You do need to go from the mini (which connects to the computer or docking station) to the regular display port, but I think the cable that comes with it does that.  If not, they're cheap.  Fantastic monitor.

Question 4

Will this work with the new Surface 3 (i5/i7 models)?

Accepted Answer

I'm sorry, but I am not familiar with any Windows 64 bit OS beyond Ultimate. And I apologize in advance if this seems off topic, but I'll let you know what I experienced with the 3D that other peeps may be wondering about.   
    I used it on just a single min-dsport = dsport adapter, running via the MST, and followed by 3 more adapters for the 3 outs (dsport =DVI-D). Unfortunately, because the horizontal footprint of the output adapters I purchased wouldn't let me fit more than 2 montitor runs from the out, I ended up running 2 outputs via the MST from one of my Radeon HD 6950 cards. From that same card I ran 2 DVI-D signals, no problem.
   I'm running a 5th Mini DPort= DVI-D, signal from the second Radeon 6950 and my AsRock Fatal1ty Pro Gen 3 MOBO has a native hardwired VGA output that seems to be always active ( except  during EYEfinity mode, although it's totally stable during cross-fire).
     So basically, I have 6 screens but prior to the 3D Multi-Stream Transport, I was unable to run more than 5 screens . Sorry, that's all I've got. Hopefully somebody will find this useful!

Question 5

Spec sheet has "HBR" and "HBR2" and then show what can be connected.  What is HBR and HBR2?

Accepted Answer

Go DisplayPort website and 'How to Choose a DisplayPort Cabe, and Not Get a Bad One!'.

Basically HBR is High Bit Rate. HBR2 is High Bit Rate 2 (faster/better/more 1080p simulatenous displays).  There is also an RBR - Reduced Bit Rate.  There are cables that only support certain data rates. You have to get the right ones.

Question 6

Will this work with the Surface Pro 2? I know the Surface Pro 2 has Display Port v1.2.

Accepted Answer

Have not had success with Surface Pro 2 (with and without docking station).  Tried multiple configurations of hubs, adapters, monitors, docking stations and Surface Pro 2's.

Club 3D support is non-responsive on this issue.

Question 7

Does this work with HP 8560 Eilte book workstation? I am trying to use 3 displays for it. It has a DP++ port.

Accepted Answer

I use it with an AMD Radeon SAPPHIRE HD 7770 GHz VGA card. The club 3D MST brochure says it will work with any display port version 1.1a,1.2 or later.

Question 8

I have three 144Hz, 24" 1920x1080 monitors, but am only able to run them at 60Hz in Eyefinity due to one of them being hooked up via HDMI (hence, being a huge waste of money at this point). If I buy this, will I be able to run them all at 144Hz? I realize the specs say "up to 2560X1600@60Hz each monitor in DP1.2 MST and up to FHD/1080p in DP1.1 or DP 1.2 SST," but I wonder if I run them at a lower resolution, will I be able to use 144Hz on all three in Eyefinity?

Accepted Answer

One hub can drive two dual link dvi adapters, which should get you 144hz on two screens (and assuming you have a dl dvi output for the third screen you can get all 3 to do 144hz)

Question 9

Will this work with PNY Quadro K4000 ?

Accepted Answer

This works fine with eyefinity combatible AMD cards I am not sure about others

Question 10

Will this product work properly with a NVIDIA Quadro K2100M?  Implemented in HP ZBook 15 Mobile Workstation. Uses DP 1.2, brand new Haswell, but concerned with NVIDIA compatibility.

Accepted Answer

Will this product work properly with Intel HD530(Skylake) integrated graphics?
