Works great with my 34 " G-SYNC Ultra Wide Gaming Monitor

For years I've been looking for a KVM switch that supports gaming on my G-SYNC Ultra Wide Monitor. Everything I've tried before , had issues and none of them could work with a G-SYNC monitor at 3440x1440@100Hz. Guess what? This StarTech KVM switch works! I'm shocked and I love it! Here is the hardware that I am using: β€’ Computer 1: Apple 16" MacBook Pro connected to a CalDigit Thunderbolt 3 dock. A DisplayPort 1.2 cable runs from the dock to the StarTech KVM. β€’ Computer 2: Digital Storm Windows PC with EVGA 2080 Ti card A DisplayPort 1.2 cable runs from the docking station to the StarTech KVM β€’ Display: Acer Predator X34, 3440 x 1440, 100 Hz Everything works exactly as expected Switching between two computers is easy and fast F works perfectly every time. G-SYNC works as expected. Eventually I'm planning to upgrade to an even larger monitor with a resolution of 3840 x 1600. I suspect it won't run at 100+ Hz as DisplayPort 1.2 can't handle the bandwidth. For now, however, this StarTech KVM is working great. I hope they update it soon to support even larger monitors.

Pros
  • Rugged build
Cons
  • Not bad
