Hi
Why the resolution 5120x1440 Doesn't work with the New Apple M1 ...
You indicate on the website '' One display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz connected via Thunderbolt and one display with up to 4K resolution at 60Hz connected via HDMI 2.0 ''
But I can only use the resolution 3840 x 1080 not my native resolution 5120 x 1440.
Can I have a explication please ?
Thanks in advance
Mac mini 2018 or later
Hey all, my setup has the Samsung G9 with the M1 Mac Mini, and a desktop PC with an RTX2070. Watching some youtube vids, i made sure to buy a direct DisplayPort to USB-C cable that supported 1.4. I thought that would solve the issue, however, i still had to do some tinkering, although i think you'll still need a direct cable with DP 1.4 support for this to work.
Before playing around with the settings on the computers and the monitor, switching around and wake from sleep bugging out on the Mac Mini was really annoying. Even with the 1.4 direct DP > USB-C cable.
However, I think i've landed at a config that works, although this still requires the use of SwitchResX. Hopefully this will help some of you, there's a trial so you can try anyway.
G9 Monitor Settings:
Game: Refresh Rate > 120hz (240hz would bug out on wake from Mac)
Game: Adaptive Sync > off
System: DisplayPort Version > 1.4
Driver Version: 1008 (get from samsung site, requires a usb stick)
Mac Mini:
Mac OS: Big Sur 11.0.1
HI
i have exactly the same cable and same monitor but doesn’t work for me ...
I Chose DP 1.2, 60hz, freesync off and i dont have the 5120 x 1440p ...
If you can help me pls ...
One difference I'm seeing is that you still have the HDR option showing in Display preferences.
Can't think of any specific reasons for why they're different though...
can you run 5120x1440 at 60hz out of the box?
hopefully mine is here tomorrow so I can try it out with my Samsung G9 49" at 5120x1440 otherwise it is going back.
Not the same GPU...
with 10.15 the Apple Mini work 5120x1440 ?
Doesn’t work for me ...
Following your suggestion, I tried the opt key and got all the resolution options I needed.
nope... not for me... I don't game on the Mac and if I drag an app across the screen I can barely see the difference between 120 and 60.
@Pagemakers2 - I have a Samsung CRG90 49", 5120x1440 @120 HDR wDP1.4.
I have the exact same setup (except Moshi usbc-DP cable) but am having the wake from sleep issue. Forced to reinsert the cable for each use. Any ideas?
Try beta Big Sur. Some have had success.
