I'm a bit confused. With Catalina and Big Sur (and beyond) should I install
only the
"DisplayLink Manager App" and forget about the
"DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for macOS" (assuming this is the so called "legacy" driver), or should I install
both?
Instructions are somehow confusing, and the download page
https://www.displaylink.com/downloads/macos doesn't clearly state what is the preferred/recommended action. I currently have both installed. No alerts/messages whatsoever. But I've noticed that my CPU is hurting a lot, and some things like screenshoting with Snagit [1] can bring the machine down to its knees...
I'm concerned about performance issues. I'm using a MacBook Pro (Early 2015, i7 and 16G of RAM) with two additional 28" 4K (60Hz) external monitors connected via DisplayPort from a QGeeM docking station [2] that uses the DL-6950 Chipset. The external monitors resolution are set to a scaled 1920x1080 (high-res/retina) because I can't find the 1080p option on the list (even clicking on "scaled" while holding the alt/option key) - see [3].
Any advice will be much appreciated!
Thank you!
