![]() ![]() That said, the system is very fluid indeed. Maybe when SwitchResX is fully compatible with M1 we could unlock a higher HiDPI resolution. It is not the best but for the moment it can also be good. This can be annoying and require disconnecting/reconnecting the dummy or turn off/on mirroring. The maximum resolution that this display has with M1 in HiDPI is 3008x1269 (scaled to 6016x2538). On Intel you'll have some issues with BetterDummy especially with non-integrated GPUs as in that scenario a lot of data is being moved around but on Intel SwitchResX is unquestionably the best choice to create custom resolutions.īetterDummy has some issues on some configs with mirroring which are related to various macOS bugs when mirroring a virtual display (this happens with Sidecar as well without BetterDummy) - there can be some sleep woes and sometimes flickering when there is some screen activity (for example mouse is moved around) due to some weird colorsync problems. The M1 MacBook Air and MacBook Pro allow the use of one external monitor with up to 6K resolution through the USB-C port. Hey - I think neither SwitchResX nor BetterDummy should be that heavy on resources as in case of mirroring both approaches use an intra-GPU, hardware mirror which means that there should be a single common framebuffer (but even if the framebuffer is copied, everything happens on-chip for M1 machines and the framebuffers are not too large big actually, the desktop compositing - which might be the heavier thing - happens only once in both scenarios).īetterDummy can do streaming instead of mirroring, that will actually have two desktops, but the actual process is also super-efficient (the source screen is applied to a window layer surface which is optimized at hardware/kernel level to work ultra fast on M1 machines).
