LG UltraFine 5K Build

Hot damn, I got it working with the GA-Z170X-Designare

With a caveat, it isn't 5K, not even 4K.

$ system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType |grep Resolution
Resolution: 1920 x 1200 @ 59 Hz
Resolution: 3360 x 1890

But at least I'm one step closer.

Good stuff! Hope you get it working at 5k!

I was just thinking, what GPU would drive that display in OSX? Cant be iGPU, nor NVIDIA as there are no drivers for 10 series.

Using SwitchResX I can get 4K and 5K.

$ system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType |grep Resolution
Resolution: 1920 x 1200 @ 59 Hz
Resolution: 5120 x 2880

Brightness control doesn't work though, nor audio through the LG's speakers.

Brightness controlling & Audio act as special USB devices (at least for the 4K one. not sure about the 5K).

What's under you 'System Infomation -> USB'?

Mate, which GPU are you using to power this?
