They would not exactly match the center display (shrug). The cost of those is probably about as much more as the cost of the converter, so its kind of a wash, but at least they would be more up to date monitors, possibly new instead of used. Option 2 would be to try to find two 24 inch 1920x1200 monitors that have display ports in them already., then I don't need the apple converter. But if I ever want to add an HDMI video monitor later, I will simply need an additional video card, end of story. So option 1, and perhaps cheapest baby step, i could get two used monitors that are just like my existing one(they go for around $120 each), two of those $99 adapters, and for approximately $450 have a 3 monitor setup at 3 x 1920x 1200.

Is that the total resolution of all three displays combined, or would I theoretically be able to run 3 display, each one up to 2560x1600, at 60hz, full operation on all three displays? I am guessing yes, but just want to verify. One question though, the spec for the ATI radeon 5770 says max resolution is 2560x1600.

So from the sounds of that, in the simplest scenario, I get two more matching DVI displays, plus I have to buy two Apple Mini display to dual link DVI converters at $99/each (ouch), then I could have 3 displays, theoretically at 1920x1200 for all three. I did just now find this page from Apple Support.which clarifies some things about the existing Radeon 5770 card a bit: To reiterate, I don't do gaming, I don't really need a lot of GPU crunching, other then just handling basic UI duties on that much screen real estate.ДЄny and all recommendations and advice are welcome at this point. Again, what can my existing Radeon 5770 handle and if its totally underpowered for this task, which video card(s) would I need to get? So first off, any suggestions about whether I can achieve any of the above with my existing ATI radeon 5770 or whether I need to get a new card, or second card to handle 3 monitors at 1920x1200, and what it would take later to add that 4th HDMI monitor on the wall for video playback.Д«eyond that, I'm also considering making the jump to 3 x 27 inch displays at a higher resolution, probably 4k.something I can get for maybe around $500-600 per display (and maybe the 4th HDMI video later).

Later on I might also want to add an HDMI display on the wall, at 720p, or 1040p perhaps exclusively for video playback.and I believe adding this 4th would probably push me over the edge to needing another video card, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Or I could get two more monitors that have mini display ports on them to avoid having to deal with conversion cables. I can get the Dell monitor in its current DVI form for cheap, to add two more that are all matching.

So first off, can the Radeon handle 3 displays at that resolution? Or would I need to get an additional video card? At a minimum I'd like to have 3 monitors with at least this much resolution each and no splitting of a 'space' across two monitors in other words, each display is its own separate display as far as OSX is concerned. I currently have one 24 inch DELL 2407 DVI monitor at 1920x1200. Just lots of screen real estate and smooth operation.Д¬urrent hardware: MacPro 5.1 12 core 3.33, 64gb memory, ATI Radeon 5770 (1 DVI, 2x mini display ports) I really don't need a super fast GPU per say. I don't do gaming, I don't do video editing. My use is primarily Logic Pro, Digital Performer, etc. Any guidance or suggestions, including upgrading the video card if I have to.

I just bought a refurbished Mac Pro and I want to run multi monitors, but its not entirely clear to me how many monitors and at what resolution I can run off of a single ATI Radeon 5770 that came with these.
