Hi to all 
, I've been looking around for an answer to this but I'm still not sure if it can be done, hope someone can spare a minute to clear my doubts…
I own this Mac Pro:
Mac Pro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (early 2009)
Memory: 12 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
Video card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB
Model Identifier: MacPro4,1
running OSX 10.8.5
…and I'd like to buy a 40" 4k monitor, not a tv since I work many hours in a row and want to avoid eye strain. I would like to use Logic Pro fullscreen and work at a comfortable distance (5 feet).
I saw on the Apple site that my Mac is not on the official list of Macs that can support such a high resolution, so here are my questions:
1) Can I use such a monitor only by buying a new video card and maybe via some updated drivers, BUT avoiding to upgrade the whole OSX?
2) If not, which is the max resolution at 60Hz I could go on any 40" 4k monitor with my early 2009 Mac Pro running 10.8.5?
Thanks a lot for your kind help
