Hey everyone, I'm trying to link all my peripherals—headphones, mouse, keyboard, and two monitors—to my Dell WD19TB Thunderbolt dock. My aim is to have the same dock connected to either my work M1 Pro or my home PC for easy switching. The setup includes a display port monitor and a USB-C/HDMI monitor; the latter didn't work with my Mac. Once I fixed it on Mac, the PC still doesn't recognize the monitors unless they're directly linked to the graphics card. Other devices work fine on my PC. I've adjusted Thunderbolt settings in BIOS, but nothing seems to be missing. I have an ASRock Z790 Taichi and a 7900XTX. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I believe PCs include a Thunderbolt application. You might want to look for it and adjust any necessary settings.

Hi! Glad you asked. The Intel Thunderbolt control center isn't providing much assistance right now.

Your motherboard includes a Thunderbolt port. It also supports GPU pass-through and has internal connectors for video transmission. Older models sometimes used display port headers to route video through the Thunderbolt interface. For video over Thunderbolt, the graphics card must connect to the Thunderbolt controller.

It seems you're encountering an issue where a display signal can't pass through Thunderbolt from your graphics card. You may need to use a different motherboard to resolve this problem.

Ensure the DP cable is properly linked to the graphics card. Check for any additional settings or drivers required for HDMI over USB-C.

You notice that linking your monitors to the IGPU makes your 7900XTX nearly ineffective. Also, you’re puzzled about the DP issue—sometimes it behaves unpredictably.

It seems the GPU is handling the heavy lifting even when using the HDMI monitor. I'll keep an eye on it. Also, I don't understand why DP isn't working. I'll post another update if I learn more.

Confirming the update: the primary GPU isn't being utilized, and it seems my motherboard doesn't support passthrough.
