DisplayLink Software - High CPU on MBA

FoxBJK · 07-04-2019, 03:10 PM

Bumping this up. 2015 MacBook Air, D3100 dock, u3415w monitor (made by Dell), but the CPU usage is way up there. My computer’s getting alarmingly warm during anything graphics-heavy like video playback.

Plugging the monitor directly into the Mac via DisplayPort is substantially better, so there’s definitely a problem with the dock or the driver. Probably the driver, because I was using this dock with an XPS earlier this week with no issues.

Keeping the DisplayPort cable plugged in for now, but hopefully there’ll be a performance improvement in the future.
