The benefits of Thunderbolt 4 docking include: Port expansion. Increase the number of devices you can connect to a laptop or desktop PC with a Thunderbolt 4 dock. For example, connect a gaming keyboard, a wired gaming mouse, external monitor, and SSD to a dock, and then to a PC with a single Thunderbolt 4 cable.
Most Thunderbolt 4 docks increase the number of Thunderbolt 4 ports available and frequently feature additional ports for USB 3. Ease of throughput. Cable management. Use a dock to keep your gaming space organized, with all of your gaming accessories plugging into a central hub instead of connecting directly to the PC itself. With just one cable going from the dock to your PC, your gaming area stays clean and free of clutter.
Simply detach one cable instead of three or four when you want to relocate with your laptop. External Upgrades. External SSD. This allows games to be transferred to an external drive, so they can be played on any system that supports Thunderbolt 4. Video capture device s.
You can capture gameplay in full 4K at 60Hz or in p at Hz. Having a dedicated unit for capturing gameplay frees up system resources, allowing you to play games at higher settings while retaining clear video quality.
External Graphics. Connect an external GPU to boost the graphical performance of a laptop or lightweight PC, allowing you to play more games at higher settings. Cable Simplification There are a number of benefits to replacing USB cables in your gaming setup with Thunderbolt 4, the foremost being simplicity. Learn about adapters for the Thunderbolt 3 ports on your Mac. Mac Pro supports the following display configurations, depending on the graphics cards installed. Three 5K displays with resolutions of x at 60Hz when connected to any of these modules:.
Eight 4K displays with resolutions of x at 60Hz when connected to any of these modules:. This connector is used for simplicity foremost, but there are other reasons, too. Early versions of Thunderbolt relied on a Mini DisplayPort-style connector, and Apple was the only major manufacturer to embrace Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt 3 supports the DisplayPort protocol too, so you can use one cable to daisy-chain and drive multiple 4K displays at 60Hz.
Thunderbolt 3 allows for connection speeds up to 40Gbps - so double the speed of the previous generation - USB 3. It also offers USB speeds of up to 10Gbps, and it can connect up to two 4K displays, outputting video and audio signal at the same time. USB Type-C is well-known because it allows for quicker data transfer. USB Type-C also allows your devices to charge, because it can transmit up to W, which is enough to charge most laptops.
That means you can use a single cable with a USB Type-C connector to quickly transfer data to your device while you charge it. But the most interesting thing about USB-C is that the connector is reversible: there is no "right way up". You can just blindly stick it into a port on a device, and it'll smoothly go in and work. Manufacturers have embraced Thunderbolt because of its features - mostly the fast data transfer for storing large files.
If your Mac has two Thunderbolt ports, you can connect each display to separate Thunderbolt ports on your Mac. A DisplayPort device must be the last device in a chain of connected Thunderbolt devices. See Connect a display, TV, or projector to Mac. See the Apple Support article Connect a display to your Mac. The other devices in the chain must be powered by separate power adapters. Open the Displays pane for me. Click the Detect Displays button.
