SyncMaster S27A850 & USB3 to DP adapter - Win8

[Wim]

Can you let us have the system information from here:

Our automated performance tests tell us that there should be no difference between Win 7 or Win 8, however there do seem to be some users that are finding a performance degradation and we need to try and understand why this is.

As a temporary solution: is it possible to force the monitor to 1920*1080 resolution?

FYI to the moderator(s):

Updating to v7.1M0 has drastically improved lag on my Displaylink monitor (at 2560*1600 resolution) on win8. There's still an occasional "hang" but that also happened when I was running win7.

I had to install it manually though, I didn't receive a new version notification and forcing a check did not find the update.

Interesting... There were a number of bug fixes in here, but nothing off the top of my head that would have changed this. Glad it is working better though!

7.1 is not on Windows update yet. We leave it a few weeks to make sure there are no major issues before pushing it out to all users.
