EDIT:
It works fine. The issue was the old divx cable.

(Original)
The monitor works with a passive adapter at 2560x1600, but it flickers on certain content, usually busy screens, and always on anything heavy with HTML 5 components like web music apps.

It's NVIDIA NVS 510 video card driver version (latest) 391.25, 4 mini-DP ports, only three used, all for 30" 2560x1600 monitors. On Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, DirectX 12.0. Is it the dedicated video memory to small? 2048 MB DDR3. Too slow?
A lot of StarDock stuff seems to be a bit on the cheap quality high price side, but then that's all the vendors out there for this kind of stuff.

It's functional, but with my Dell 30" monitor (3007WFP-HC) the image had noticeable artifacts like RBG "sparkles" and color banding. Also, occasionally the whole image would start "vibrating" and I had to power cycle the monitor to correct. An alternative adapter is working beautifully with the same monitor, so I'm returning this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works for adding third monitor for 2013 Mac Pro Trashcan
Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2021
Verified Purchase
Since the Apple version of this was discontinued for some reason, I tried this out to see if it would work, and it does! To clarify, I have 2 DVI monitors and a LED TV connected via the HDMI port. With passive DVI, you can only use 2 monitors (the HDMI counts as one), so if you want more than 2 you'll have to get one of these.

Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because sometimes when waking the display, it'll have trouble and sometimes even give a static screen. Unplugging/replugging fixes this right away, but it can get annoying. 9/10 times it works as it should, and since this is the only option I saw available, it'll do!

imo this device should be removed from amazon. It had one job. People only buy this to work with the apple 30 inch display. if it does not consistently work for that one purpose, it is useless.
this is typical startech. make a device no one else makes. make it cheap. hope enough of them work where they can turn a meager profit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice quality product
Reviewed in Australia on May 5, 2021
Verified Purchase
Firstly let me say the product appears to be of good quality and does convert Display Port to Dual-link DVI well. I was able to run my monitor at 1920 x 1080 at 120 HZ refresh rate. The reason I purchased this product was in the hope that I could use it for Nvidia 3D vision. My plan was to connect to the display port of my RTX2060 as it has no DVI port, and try and obtain 3D vision through my ASUS VG278 monitor. You need to use no later than 425.31 Nvidia driver. Whilst the video worked well, the inbuilt emitter on the monitor would never come on. I ended up installing an old GTX660 alongside of the RTX2060 and use the DVI on that card for 3D vision, which now works well. I still have the HDMI connected to the same monitor for the RTX 2060. I have kept the adaptor even though it did not do what I wanted because I still think it might be handy to have.
