I've seen the post but it was referring to the old LG UltraFine 5K, I thought the new one might support DP 1.3+ / HBR3 which would allow true 5K on a single 4-lanes connection.
But anyway the log file confirms there's only one DP 1.2 HBR2 (4x5,4Gbps) connection, so true 5K is not possible :
Code:Connections: 1: 2: * 3: [DP 1.2 4 x HBR2] Status: [4 x HBR2 7777] caps [features 0x101001b, p_encoding 0xd] Sink OUI:204-045-140 27MD5K [050-055-077-068-053-075] HW Version: 48 FW Version: 3.4 4: 5: 6:
Further down the lines I can see what seems to be a downscaling from 5120x2880 to 3840x2160 :
Code:Refresh Rate (Calculated) 60 Hz Refresh Rate (Stored) 0.0 Hz Refresh Rate (Stored) 0.0 Hz Window (Active) 3840 x 2160 Window (Active) 3840 x 2160 Window (Scaled) 5120 x 2880 Window (Scaled) 5120 x 2880 Scaled Inset 0 x 0 Scaled Inset 0 x 0
The same test with my MacBookPro13,2 reveals two DP 1.2 HBR2 connections (the only difference being features at 0x1000a instead of 0x101001b and p_encoding at 0x0 instead of 0xd).
I'm happy to report that my LG Ultrafine 5K (2019) is now working at full 5K : 5120x2880@60Hz thanks to a GC-Titan Ridge PCIe card (with 2 DP inputs coming from the Radeon VII, 1 TB3 output to the display) :

AGDCDiagnose confirms there's two DP 1.2 HBR2 connections just like with my MacBook Pro :
Code:

There's still a lot of tests to be done and only the display is working at the moment (no USB-C, internal camera, speaker and microphone) but it's showing promise.
I plugged the GC-Titan Ridge card in the PCIEX8 slot of the Designare because my PCIEX4 slot is currently blocked by a piece of water-cooling tubing. I think it should be plugged in the PCIEX4 to run from PCH since there's already the internal Alpine Ridge running on the CPU.
I'll try disabling the internal thunderbolt controller and/or using the PCIEX4 on PCH to see if I can get full Thunderbolt functionality but there's hope !
