Using a Apple LED Cinema Display with Mac Pro

You could get This but at the MSRP you are better off getting a cheap GT120

 

Hello,

The older mac pros have mini display ports, and the newests [don't] have thunderbolt port [yet], which would also work.

Which model of mac pro are you looking at?

Any Mac Pro that is 2009 or better by default comes with a MDP card.

Any Mac Pro earlier than that can be upgraded to a MDP card. My 2008 Mac Pro has several MDP ports after a card upgrade.

 

No mac pro has thunderbolt.
Not all mac pros have MDP from factory. only 2009 and later.

 

When did they get these??

Apple OEM 4870, 5770, and 5870 all have MDP and work with any Mac Pro.

Nice powerful cards for most uses.

GT120 and Quadro 4000 also have MDP but require a 3,1 or later Mac Pro. (Q4K uses DP to MDP)

 

Several MDP ports? They have 2

 

I actually used to have a GT 120 in my machine too, so I had at least 3 MDP ports. I think the GT120 had two MDP ports though?

 

One MDP, One DVI.

 

I have the 5770 in my 2008 Mac Pro. 2 MDP, 1 DVI
