5530 number of external displays

How many external displays can the 5530 /w Quadro P1000 actually output?

 

I have a 5530 with the P1000 option and UHD screen, and it's currently connected to external displays via the WD15 dock.

So far:

  • 3 displays to WD15 (hdmi/vga/dp):
    • laptop screen off: 2x 1080p, 1x 640x480
  • 2 displays to WD15 (vga/dp), 1 display to 5530 (hdmi):
    • laptop screen off: 3x 1080p

Is it even possible to power more than 3 total displays with the 5530 (even with a different dock)? It seems like a huge waste of the discrete graphics option.

Good question.

As many as @accoleon tells us ? :Smile:

There is this, but I think it has to use a dedicated DisplayPort on a dedicated card.

Hello

Same problem here:

  • Dell Precision 5530, Quadro P2000
  • Dell Dock WD19 TB
  • 3 pcs. of BenQ 3203R max. 2550x1440 @ 144Hz

Monitor N.1 + N.2 runs perfectly at 2550x1440 @ 144Hz via the two inbuilt DisplayPorts by WD19TB

But Monitor N.3 connected via inbuilt HDMI port by WD19TB but it runs only at 1920x1080 @ 59Hz !

I tried everything but N.3 can not set at 2550x1440 @ 144Hz via HDMI

What can I do?

Did you ever work out if this was a limitation? I'm worried that I'll hit a wall when upgrading to a 1920x1200 screen; currently I'm feeding a 1920x1080 screen via HDMI in addition to two 4k screens (1 external, 1 built in)

It's possible to run:
- 1 x 4k (built in laptop screen @ 60hz)
- 1 x 4k (external running full resolution @ 60hz) connected via TB/USB-C
- 1 x 1920x1080p external screen connected via HDMI
Hoping to upgrade this 1920x1080 to a 1920x1200 screen tomorrow or the day after and have it work @ 60hz

I'm running a M5530 Precision:
GPU: P1000 / Intel UHD
CPU: Xeon E-2176M
Storage: 1TB (2 x 512GB SSD)
RAM: 32GB
4k touchscreen
