Determining Your DisplayPort (DP) Version:
The version of DP on your laptop, computer, or tablet directly determines the actual resolution when connecting to external monitors using the Anker hub. There are three simple ways to find out which version of DP your device has.
1. Ask your device manufacturer or seller directly.
2. If you’re using a Windows device, you can tell which version of DP you have by checking your CPU generation.
DP version 1.2 if your CPU is Intel generation 10 or earlier.
DP version 1.4 if your CPU is Intel generation 11 or later.
DP version 1.4 if you’re using a workstation laptop with an NVIDIA GPU.
Don’t know how to find your CPU generation? Simply go to This PC (or My Computer) > Properties and look for the number (shown in bold and underlined below):
Processer: Intel(R) Core i7-8850H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59Ghz
