Docking station
Posted
Does anybody have a docking station with 5 4k video ports?
Don't question what im using it for

It's extremely unlikely to find one of those, and I'm not sure that one even exists.
No laptop natively supports 5 DP or HDMI outs capable of 4k (as far as I know, for consumers). A docking station for that purpose would have to be an external graphics card (Likely USB-3-Thunderbolt -> PCI-E 3.0 16x), and a high end one at that, as most graphics cards have a max of 4 outputs - which are often mixed, such as DP + HDMI + DVI (or even VGA). For 5-6 outputs, you are looking at either NVIDIA'S Quadro cards, or an Ampere graphics card (RTX 3060ti or above). Or some other high-end / workstation graphics card.
You can ask funtimes, I know he has a pretty beefy rig of his own with an RTX 3090. :)

@Moon Yeah, well, if you just need a display adapter and you don't even want to dream about something capable of 3D, then you can buy yourself one of those garbage USB-A to DVI/VGA/HDMI/DP adapters.
