MP 1,1-5,1 mp5,1 & Apple Pro Display XDR @ 6K 60Hz

[betovel]

Hey guys, wondering if there is a way to use a mp5,1 and the Apple Pro Display XDR @ 6K 60Hz, I would assume that there might be a way to do it without needing to boot on windo

Hi I'm interested too. did you found any useful information?

Why would you bother?
Plus it’s TB3, so not compatible.
Wouldn’t you rather spend the same money on a 2019 macpro.

I do have a NcMP 2019 and am using an LG UltraFine display with USB-C input. I am also using an RX5700XT video card with a DP output. With this cable:

Monoprice Bidirectional USB Type-C to DisplayPort Cable - 4K@60Hz, Black, 6ft - Monoprice.com

No longer will you be limited by the direction of your cable! This Bidirectional USB-C? to DisplayPort? Cable allows you to connect your legacy DisplayPort devices to your newest USB-C enabled display

I am able to successfully use the monitor @ 60Hz. I do not, however, have a boot screen.

No reason why it should not work on a cMP 5,1.

If that cable works why can’t you run an eGPU on a cMP?
edit: I was talking nonsense.

The xdr probably won’t work at 6k though.... 😬
It also needs Catalina.

^^^^Running an eGPU sort of defeats the purpose of the cMP's modular design.

I really didn’t think you could connect a TB3 monitor to a cMP (the xdr specs say 2019mp with TB3) so this is interesting.... 👍
