I’ve been reasearching this topic for a week or so, but I haven’t been able to find a conclusive answer yet.
I am considering purchasing a 4K display — specifically the Dell UltraSharp U2718Q (https://www.amazon.com/DELL-Screen-...arp+U2718Q&dpPl=1&dpID=51BvMbAoHnL&ref=plSrch) — and I am wondering if the Late 2013 MacBook Pro 15” with dedicated graphics can handle 60Hz on this monitor.
On the official Apple webpage (https://support.apple.com/en-us/ht206587), it says that only the Mid 2014 supports 60Hz at 4K on monitors using SST (I am assuming this Dell monitor doesn’t have MST). However, this seems strange since the Mid 2014 and Late 2013 MacBook Pros have the same GPU and both have Thunderbolt 2. Given that the 2014 model supports 4K and 60Hz, shouldn’t the 2013 model also be able to achieve this?
Has anyone actually tried an SST 4K monitor with a Late 2013 MacBook Pro and been able to get 60Hz?
