The inclusion of the more powerful AMD Radeon graphics adapter allows the system to support a maximum of four external displays. As the name implies, the system can ‘switch’ between the two depending on need and in doing so allows for better battery life or higher performance. They have both an Intel graphics adapter and a more capable (but more power hungry) AMD Radeon graphics adapter.

If more than two displays are needed, the options available depend on the type of internal graphics adapter built-in to the MacBook Pro.Īll MacBook Pro 13” Thunderbolt 3 models have an internal Intel graphics adapter that is limited to a maximum of two external displays, so using a docking station with two displays as described above would be the maximum.Īll MacBook Pro 15” Thunderbolt 3 models have what is known as switchable internal graphics adapters. We have a video demonstration showing the setup of the TBT3-UDV ( ) that can help provide context for those unfamiliar. When combined with one of our USB-C to video cables (such as our USB-C to HDMI cable -> or our USB-C to DisplayPort cable -> ) a second display can be connected to the dock.
