Michael Stapelberg's blog was a source for me when I bought my Dell UP3218Ks specifically for usage with Linux. A great resource!
The article mentions that "it (the Dell UP3218K) needs two (!) DisplayPort cables on a GPU with MST support, meaning that in practice, it only works with nVidia graphics cards."
I would like to tell people here that this is not true in my experience (which might be related to advances in amdgpu and/or linux in general): I'm running one Dell on a Vega (64) Frontier Edition and one on a 6900XT, both on Linux 6.3 with the amdgpu driver. It sets up correctly, using DP TILE extension, so both cables used, 7680x4320@60hz.
Also I would like to add (subjectively) that nothing beats the display quality of these screens. It's literally life/eye-changing.. insanely nice, sharp. I could never go back to sub ~200ish DPI displays.
- secure 3y agoHey, thanks for letting us know! I most recently tried the AMD GPU that came with my ThinkStation P620, and it could not drive the monitor at native resolution :( Maybe I should try a 6900XT. Which particular model do you have? How much power does it use when driving the 8K monitor? Do you have PCIe ASPM enabled in the UEFI setup for your PEG slot, and does that run reliably? I was running into problems with ASPM with my nVidia: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/pcie-errors-after-enabling-aspm-power-saving-gpu-has-fallen-off-the-bus/257440 https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/pcie-errors-after-enab...
