Ultra Wide monitor resolution issue

I just bought a IIYAMA G-MASTER GB3461WQSU-B1 which has a native resolution of 3440x1440 but my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)  can't run it at its full resolution. 


Some have suggested a WARRKY USB-C To DisplayPort cable but my machine only has thunderbolt 2 ports. Is there an adaptor cable I can use with this or another cable that will allow me to run the full resolution on the monitor?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

Your display has two DisplayPort 1.4 ports.


Thunderbolt-2 is a SuperSet of Mini DisplayPort.


Mini DisplayPort is a direct re-wire (no conversion) for [Full size] DisplayPort.


try this one, electrically the same as DisplayPort 1.4, and rated up to 4K:


Monoprice Select Series Mini DisplayPort 1.2 to DisplayPort 1.2 Cable, 6ft - Product # 13373 - $6.57
