Hi,
I've seen a couple of posts on this, but not seen any answers. I have an ASUS PB287Q monitor with a display resolution of 3840x2160. This works fine on my Hackintosh with AMD XFX 290X graphics card, but I can only see HiDPI modes up to 1920x1080 in the display panel. What I really want is 2560x1440 as HiDPI so that I can get more real estate and still benefit from the 4k resolution (my MBPr does 1920x1200 HiDPI on its 2880x1800 15" display). I have tried to create 5120x2880 in switchresx as a scaled resolution, but it does not activate. The following article suggests this works with Nvidia cards (he used a GTX 780). Can anyone confirm this is true? I've already switched once from an Nvidia GTX 760 to the AMD 290x as originally I wanted to run OS X as a VM in ESXi with PCI passthrough and Nvidia cards weren't supported for the passthrough. That experiment didn't work, so now I'm running OS X natively (under Clover) and then using VMware Fusion for my VMs. If anyone has got this working, please could you let me know your exact card make/exact model so that I can buy the same and get this working? This is the link I was talking about:

thanks in advance
