Click to expand... Was it an HDMI display? The HDMI port of the Mac Pro 2013 only supports HDMI 1.4. To do 4K60 requires a DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 adapter. Amethyst1 said: Yes. Two 4K monitors at 60 Hz via DisplayPort. Click to expand... Tech specs say three dual cable 5K displays or six 1440p displays. https://support.apple.com/kb/sp697 I think that means it can do between three and six 4K displays. Each 4K display needs to be connected to a separate Thunderbolt port. Reactions: Amethyst1

There were also some cheap-ish 4K displays in 2013/2014 that were limited to 30 Hz, such as the Dell P2815Q or Seiki TVs. joevt said: Tech specs say three dual cable 5K displays or six 1440p displays. https://support.apple.com/kb/sp697 Click to expand...
