Will a Studio M1 Max drive a Dell 6K monitor?

TidBITS Talk

I have a Studio M1 Max (64GB/1TB/32 Core) running Ventura currently driving a 34" AlienWare monitor (2560x1440) via Thunderbolt-to-DisplayPort in the middle, flanked by an Apple Studio 27" 5K and a Dell 27" 5K monitors both connected via Thunderbolt.

I am considering replacing the Alienware 34" monitor with the recently released 32" Dell 6K monitor for more text clarity. This would be connected either by Thunderbolt or or the currently used Thunderbolt-to-DisplayPort.

Can anyone definitely confirm or refute whether or not the Apple Studio M1 Max will drive all three monitors?

I think you should be OK.

Thanks for that information. At first I was thinking that it might only be the M1 Ultra version that would drive four Apple 6K monitors as it has more Thunderbolt ports (and busses), but have confirmed that the regular M1 Max can do this also.
