Has everyone tested if the new 10.8.2 supports 4K@60Hz with Mac Pro and Dell UP3214Q?
With my rMBP late 2013 still only 30Hz are possible via TB/mDP...
Edit: Sorry, 10.9.2 of course.

YES! A friend told me that 60Hz now works just fine on the 32" UP3214Q with 10.9.3, even on up to three monitors! The 3200x1800 scaling is pleasing for the eyes, but currently appears buggy with multi-monitor setup.
I got to play around on one of these today at Microcenter hooked up to a base model nMP and it was pretty sweet. I went on youtube and watched some 4K video. It was my first time seeing 4K in action. Was only running at 30hz, but still looked really beautiful. Great news the 10.9.3 is going to make this even better.
Not true. Mini display port is the exact same as "full" display port.

Yes. Both dells run at 60hz. I have the 24 inch version. Runs perfectly scaled at 1080p for full retina action.
^^^^Nope!
The Mini DisplayPort (MiniDP or mDP) is a miniaturized version of the DisplayPort audio-visual digital interface. The functionality and signals are identical. Apple announced the Mini DisplayPort in October 2008. As of November 17, 2013, Apple fit the port to the LED Cinema Display and all new Macintosh computers: MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac mini, Mac Pro, and Xserve. The Mini DisplayPort is also fitted to some PC notebooks from various manufacturers including Asus, Microsoft, Lenovo, Toshiba, HP, and Dell. It is also fitted to some recent motherboards.

No such thing as "full" display port

That's what I just said.
Mini = DP in terms of functionality.
From my pc, I have DP to mDP on the monitor and it runs 4k at 60hz.

I have a Dell 24 4k monitor, all scaling modes are offered on my retina MBP 13 inch. However it's only at 30hz.
1080p is the "sweet" spot for 4k on this monitor considering 4k is 2x of 1080p although you can run it 1440p.
It's very similar to the scaling renders of the retina mbp. Sweet spot is the "best for retina" anything else is just as good just not "best". I personally use the 1680 x 1050 on my 13 inch and 1080p on the 4k monitor.
When the mac pro arrives, I might do 1440p, not sure yet.
