Solved! Docking station for two 2K monitors at 144Hz refresh rate?

Hi,

I am after a docking station which would allow my XPS13 7390 2in1 to power a dual monitor setup where each monitor is running 2K (2560x1440 or also known as QHD) at 144hz refresh rate.

One of the candidates is the Dell Universal Dock - D6000. However, the sales team cannot confirm and the manual doesn't clarify if the docking station is capable to do it (it only has the refresh rate matrix for 4K resolution) and also it is missing the info on what DisplayPorts and HDMI generations it is fitted with. Can anyone recommend a docking station which would support two 2k monitors at 144hz?

Ideally, the Dell docking station should be able to run the 2x2K at 144hz because running 4K at 60hz is about twice as much as running 2K at 144hz, but then still how about the power of the machine?

Can someone help me to conclude that if the docking station would be able to run the monitor setup mentioned above with my XPS13?

Thanks in advance.
