Hey, guys. I just ordered gtx 680 for a mac pro 2010. I noticed that GTX 680 doesn't have mini display port that led-cinema-display-1st-gen-24-inch-2nz-800.jpg

also I have Apple cinema display....What would I need to connect my display with gtx 680?
 
A Display Port to Mini-DisplayPort Adapter.

And probably extension cables (MiniDisplayPort and USB). The Cable of the Apple Cinema Display is too short when the Mac Pro is under the desk.

Thanks.

So i also need mini display port and usb as well? My mac pro is actually on the top of the desk.
 
Don't need a USB extension unless it isn't long enough. Mine is definitely long enough and I am running no extensions. I use my 24" ACD with my 2010 Mac Pro + GTX 980 and it works well.
I guess it wouldn't hurt to get one if I needed a extra length.

I guess the monitor on the picture is an 27" Cinema Display from 2010. The 27" Apple Cinema Display has a shorter cable than older Apple monitors.
