I’ve found a page on the Framework website which states the laptop can drive 4 displays simultaneously, but is it possible or advisable to do this from a single USB-C port?
Framework 13 AMD
Key word “DP daisy chain”
Intel supports routing all the available display pipelines through a single DP MST connection (any DP output). While AMD does not themselves publicly document this, they do support the same, just as Nvidia does.
Depending on involved peripherals, you might run into bandwidth limits. 4x 4K60 for example is possible over a single DP connection and Lenovo for example even lists that as supported with the right dock for their AMD laptops.
My Intel 13 starts rate limiting the framerate at 3 minitors. Wonder what gives
I have 2, 1080p monitors working great out of one port through a dell thunderbolt hub
Depends on the resolution. Four 1080p displays would probably be okay. Four 4K monitors? Not so much.
I have used 4 1080P monitors through my Dell WD19TB dock. Intel 1360P.
I could do 2 external 1080p monitors + the laptop screen with a USB-C CalDigit dock no problem. I have the AMD 7840.
