I've used this display port switch in the past: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZR18VPS It worked well for 2560x1440 at 90Hz and I think 120Hz worked too. It even supports FreeSync. I assume it would work with DVI adapters too, but I'm pretty sure you would need active adapters which aren't very cheap. I ended up returning it though since it completely disconnects the monitor when switching, causing layout reconfiguration every time you switch. Apparently this is just an inherent problem with the DisplayPort protocol and not just this switch, so you will definitely have a better experience with a DVI switch if you don't need FreeSync. _______________________________________________ vfio-users mailing list vfio-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/vfio-users
