Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately the Nvidia 650 TI does only 4K 30, otherwise it looked good. Another option would be to upgrade the whole PC, since my Intel i7 didn't have VT-d (required now for Qubes 4.0), so since I'm not going to play games/3D I could go by with a recent i7-6* or i7-7*, whose DisplayPort does support 4K60 4:4:4. But that means: CPU + mobo + memory, so while Qubes 3.2 lasts, I'd rather just get a supported 4K60 video card. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
