Question Dual Monitor High Refresh Rate on Docking Station

[dzirkelb]

I purchased a Lenovo Legion 5, and I'm struggling with dual monitor support on a couple different docks.

The first dock i could only get power to one monitor at a time. My current dock only allows high refresh rate on one monitor at at time, with the other being throttled to 30 refresh rate, roughly, if i want max resolution. I can change resolution to one notch lower, and i can increase refresh rate, but that bloats everything on the screen.

So, what I'd like to know is what do I have to research to identify if a mount will give me dual monitors at a high refresh rate? I think it's a power consumption thing, but not sure.

You state using multiple docks, which ones have you worked with? Links to said docks would help us two fold. Which Lenovo Legion 5 do you? As in, you should pass on the SKU to your laptop. What BIOS version are you currently on for your laptop?

You've stated using two high refresh rate monitors, what is the make and model of said monitors? Just to clarify, the docks might state 60Hz at 4K but if you were to reduce said resolution, there's a chance you can bump up the refresh rate. I said chance since not all docks are designed/built equally.
