So I'm thinking of getting the base level mac pro, was wondering how many dell u2715h monitors I can have hooked up to it.
Got a tip for us?

- Six Apple Thunderbolt Displays (27-inch), Apple LED Cinema Displays (27-inch), or third-party Mini DisplayPort displays.

Pay attention that via HDMI (standart HDMI + miniDP-HDMI-adapter) you can plug in only 2 monitors max. Otherwise you should use special miniDP-DVI active adapter (with additional USB-power cable).
Just to add, with every new DELL u2715h you get one Mini-DP to DP cable. So no need for any adapters, unless you used all your Thunderbolt ports (Mini DisplayPorts) for something else.
thanks for the responses. so the u2715 is not a 4k or 5k monitor? since i read on the forums that the new mac pro can only handle 1 5k monitor and 2 4k monitors?
So realistically I can hook up 6 u2715s to the mac pro running at 60hz without any issues?

DELL U2715 has optimal resolution of 2560 x 1440 at 60Hz, just like Apple Thunderbolt Display or 27" LED Cinema Display.

I see, so in order to be 4k, the resolution needs to be 3xxx by however much, 5k is 4xxx by however much?

Sorry to piggy back on this one but I think it's relatable.
Does anyone know if you can daisy chain with the U2715H and mac pro? So thunderbolt out to display 1 in mini-display port, monitor 1 out of display port to monitor 2 display port in. Make sense? thanks for any info. Just looking to free up thunderbolt ports for other i/o needs.

Yes, but you'll need to turn DP 1.2 on in the OSD Display Settings.
