Intel HD4000 and MST Hub

[DOsia]

Hi,

I've got laptop with Intel i7-3630QM. There is integrated graphic card Intel HD4000 and 3 outputs: DVI, HDMI and Display Port. I'd like to connect 3 monitors at the same time in extended mode (independent). I've found the information that I can connect up to 3 monitors to my laptop if at least 2 of them are connected via Display Port. Due to only 1 Display Port output I need to use a hub. And now is my question: Can I use MST Hub (i.e. http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/products/reader.en/product/mst-hub-1-3.html Multi Stream Transport (MST) Hub DisplayPort 1-3 - Graphic solutions GeForce & Radeon) to extend number of outputs? Then I could connect 1 monitor via Display Port -> Display Port, second via active dongle Display Port -> DVI or HDMI and 3rd via the same dongle or via native DVI or HDMI Intel HD4000 output.

I'm digging the Internet looking for a solution for a few days and I don't want to spend money on not working solutions.

Thanks,

Darek

It's Clevo P170EM (http://www.nhl.pl/index.php?showtopic=58648 Clevo P170EM - Forum Notebookcheck.pl) with Intel i7-3630QM and second GPU Radeon HD7970M but Radeon works in "Enduro" mode which means it can only support Intel GPU and not work standalone.

Hi Darek

I do not have the Clevo to test with but I am able to use and MST hub to have 3 displays running in clone mode, extended mode, and collage mode. I use the MST hub to connect to the DP on my laptop and connect 3 displays to the hub. However, only 3 display at a time can run so the laptop display is disable when I use the hub.

Thanks

Robert
