Posted May 21, 2018 HI Everyone, I currently use a 2016 MacBook Pro (2.9 i7, 16 gig ram maxed out) and 2 LG 5k Displays. I primarily use the system for trading, and using platforms like Etrade and TD. I noticed the system slows down running both platforms and both monitors running, there is some lag. I'm curious to see if anyone here has a system running dual 5K monitors on thunderbolt 3. I had an SSD drive and just need to plan what system I build with an I7 and over 32 gig ram to handle the load. Appreciate any input and suggestions.

I think Linus explained in some video how Apple has some special software that allows them to push 5K pixels at 60HZ through one thunderbolt 3 cable.

Apparently there are 4 separate Thunderbolt 3 ports on the device. I thought it was running over 1 connection, which is why I was surprised.
