I I just wonder why I can not run more than 1440p Ultra on my iMac 27 Core i7 (8) with a AMD Pro 5700 8GB?

Surely the device can handle the resolution ?

On raw power your graphics card should be easily capable of the highest resolution and profile, though AMD’s Windows drivers don’t do well with OpenGL which Zwift uses, and yours is a workstation model. Problem is that Zwift add GPUs to a lookup table manually and if one isn’t on it they don’t get the full list of options. I can’t imagine they’ve decided yours isn’t strong enough, so chances are it just hasn’t actually been accounted for yet.

All you can do is nag them on here.
