LG 34UM95 3440 x 1440p Won't Work?

[Spikar]

Just upgrade to a 34UM95 and tried running it via HDMI, DP and Thunderbolt (mini DP) and for some reason it gets to the apple load screen, however when reaches desktop it won't work and becomes all blurry?

Running Sierra
HD4000 Graphics

Any reason as to why this is happening?

The board is listed as supporting 2560 x 1600 @ 60Hz with DisplayPort.

You might get a better result trying to use the pixel clock patch, but I would suggest adding a GPU with a DisplayPort socket like a new GTX 1050 or perhaps even consider an older used GTX 760 or similar from eBay.

I would stick with nvidia until further issues using AMD get ironed out. You are welcome to test and provide feedback with an AMD option, but you will not get the functionality that is available with the easy nvidia option right now.

If going for a used card then there are many options listed in older buying guides that you can consider:

Enjoy your updated Customac!

Remember to not apply Apple OS updates for 24-48 hours after they are publicly released, this gives nvidia time to update, test and then publicly release drivers - we provide details for each update at Tonymac.
