4k60 also wasn’t an option for me, thats why I had to make a custom resolution profile in intel graphics control panel. there you can add any resolution you want and any hz, it will just try whatever you put in. Make sure you select the right display & timing standard.

According to benq that model should support 4k60 8bit over HDMI. Yeah I think it uses the onboard graphics by default, but for heavy graphics it should automatically switch to rendering on the mx150, similar to how the internal display works (as far as I know). Now that you mention it, I remember I did have to make a custom resolution profile in the intel graphics control panel for my display specifically. I think it was with CVT-RB 3840×2160 and then try 60hz or 59hz if 60hz is buggy.

Honestly I’m not sure, you’d have to try it out. Are you sure the HDMI port on your display supports 4k60? My display only has two 4k60 ports and two 1080p ports, so it might be a specific port or your display might only support it through dp mini. And is your hdmi cable high speed? Some of the older HDMI cables dont support 4k60.

Hi all, have been chasing the same/similar issues. I’ve tried multiple hubs (unfortunately my xiaomi hub didnt work) and so far have found only one that actually works. Its this one: https://www.choetech.com/product/usb-c-to-hdmi-adapter-with-power-delivery-charging.html  its a hdmi 4k60 out and one power port. This is the only thing that has ever succesfully let me use an hdmi port on my 4k screen and get 60hz instead of 30hz. Apparently it uses DP-alt mode and then converts it to hdmi 2.0 within the hub or some magic like that. So at least we know its physically possible..

 

However, I’m still searching for something that also has USB ports as I love the idea of one cable for everything. If anyone has found something like this please let me know. I might try to order another one of the xiaomi hubs, since my display does support dp as well, maybe the one i got was just busted..

 

small warning: do not buy Wofalo hubs, they specifically state they support 4k60, but actually dont. When I complained they only offered me a refund if I gave them a 5 star review on their misleading product lmao.
