Can Surface Pro (2017) output to two 4K monitors at 60hz via Surface Dock?

Hi,

Currently I got SP3 and I can output to two 4k Monitors but only @30hz, which is just horrible to look at.

Can somebody check for me if the new Surface Pro 2017 can output via Surface Dock to two 4k monitors at 60hz?

Cheers

I thought it could only do one at 60hz because of limitations but maybe I'm wrong.

Well unfortunately it turns out that you are right.

I bought the Surface Pro 2017 with i7 processor and it can only display one at 60hz via dock.

When I have connected two 4k monitors (the SP display turned off) it switched both of them to 30hz

I have tried to connect 1 monitor via dock and second straight to SP and same thing

What a disappointment.

When looking at the GPU spec it kind of refers to not supporting 2x 4k screens. 3 max, as we know, with that including the built-in screen. The 'other' screen, being hdmi, is at 30Hz. Do other makes manage 2x4k @ 60Hz with the same cpu?
