Each GT120 can support two monitors all by itself. They should have one Dual-Link DVI (good for any size display) and one Mini DisplayPort, which can be adapted to single-Link DVI (good for up to 1920 wide or 1080p) with any-old adapter. For Dual-Link DVI, you will need the Apple ACTIVE Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter (US$100).
The problem with multiple GT120s does not seem ilke it is going away.

Jun 6, 2013 5:17 AM in response to jrbuuckby Miguel from Salvador-BA,After last two years , after a long time expended with this forum and close with Apple , also expending time and a lot of money , after heard a lot of wrong sugestions, the reality is : nobody here , solved this problem without replacing de logic board and/or power supply . I decided to replace all my logic boards for MacPro early 2008 and backplane boards for Mac Pro early 2009 and mid 2010 (yes , they are with problems too) . Well , all of you expected is , that all my problems has been solved , yes they were for a time , but not enough as the old macintosh that you was running for 8 to 10 years with no problem . I have around 15 MacPro early 2008 that all have been replaced the logic board almost one time and 10 from early 2009 in the same way , more 12 from mid 2010 in the same way . With a lot of problems and still working with Apple , I discovered that for the MacPro early 2008 the problem is a voltage regulator in logic board and for 2009 and 2010 is a chipset that needs reballing , but I can't get find , after discorery and localited the problems I tried , a company or a person that knew how to fix this problems , after trying a lot of companies in Brazil , I tried in USA , but no success too . Again , the reality is : Apple is manufacturing bad products and you have to protect your investiments with Apple Care and all times that you have problems have to wait for a week or more , for a solution at Apple Assistence

Jun 6, 2013 6:44 AM in response to Miguel from Salvador-BAby Vinny1701,MIguel, I'm sorry you had to replace the Logic Board, but at last the problem, which never should have existed in the first place, is solved. I'm afraid I'll have to do that, too, or buy a new 12-core machine next week. The rumors I'm seeing about the new Mac Pro tower does NOT look encouraging (no internal expandability, no optical drive), at least for my needs. You can be assured, though, that if I buy a new 12-core machine, I will spring for the 3-year Apple Care.

Jun 6, 2013 8:41 AM in response to Vinny1701by m1kygarcia,The reality of this, is that no matter how much care and protective you are with the machine, by default it can´t be manufacturated like Apple promote, the massive amount of heat and electrical power these computer requires, needs a way better and costly power supply.
I´m sure of this because of my experience with the Mac pro 2008 (eight core) having it replaced twice PSU and motherboard (you can look on these forums my old post), and the second time i thought i had enough, so i went to local University of engineering here in my town to donate it and have it studied with professional equipment, after a month or so they came up with a very logical explanation.
Apple promotes that is enviromentally friendly but the materials they use for the semi conductors and the soldering is just not enough to last with the massive consumption of the Mac Pro, they are just not enough "strong" to put in simple words to take that amount of electrical power and heat.
In order to work you have to operate it in a specific temperature and power consumption, other wise it degradates really fast, no wonder why Europe didn´t allow Apple to sell them anymore.
In short these computer theoritically it´s the best, but in realllity it´s just not build with the right ingredients, and we are in 2013 even the Mac Mini is faster than the 2008 Mac pro, so i went that route and i´m happy with the Mac Mini Server maxed out of ram.
At least we have to see what they come up with in WWDC 2013.
Best of luck and pardon my english .

Jun 10, 2013 7:22 AM in response to jrbuuckby gshanky,Hi,
I changed from 8GB (4 x 2) ram to 16GB (8 x 2) and ever since my Mac Book Pro has been randomly re-starting. Here is the most recent stack trace. I am running OS X 10.7.5 on a late 2011 build.
Appreciate all the help.

Jun 10, 2013 7:41 AM in response to gshankyby kaz-k,I suppose it's a RAM issue. You'd better check your RAM with Apple Hardware test.

That is an ordinary general protection fault (access to an area of memory that is not yours). It occurred deep in routines called by kernel task.
The Mac OS X kernel does not generally panic this way. But you are not using the Mac OS X kernel, you have added a number of third-party extensions to it. These very well may be making it unstable:
net.juniper.nke.nctun_tiger (not currently loaded)

Like most Mac so-called anti-Virus software, the one you have installed is designed to enrich its developers, not to protect you (unless you consider checks for Windows Viruses and system instability "protection". The obvious back door in Mac OS X have already been plugged by Mac OS X. As long as you have the restraint "not to talk to Strangers" (or read the poisoned emails they send you) you do not need so-called anti-Virus software or even an additional Firewall while operating behind a Router you control.
-------
Check the rest of your panic logs. Problems in the same general area can establish a trend that may lead you to the source of the problem. Problems "all over the map" are a distinctive non-trend, which tends to implicate memory as the likely culprit, except in the Mac Pro which uses Error Correcting Code memory.

Jun 11, 2013 6:13 PM in response to Samsaraby reflectionlj,my mac pro suddenly started shutting down whenever the computer would go to sleep. it would restart every time i wanted the computer to wake up. i saw someone on this thread recommended this: resetting the system management controller (smc) which was basically unplugging the power cord, waiting 15 seconds, plugging it back in waiting 5 seconds, then starting back up and the problem is fixed. yea! couldn't have been any easier and just wanted to pass that along in case it helps anyone else with this problem.

Jun 11, 2013 7:28 PM in response to reflectionljby reflectionlj,update: turns out it was only a momentary fix. guess i'll have to read more of this thread. blah.
-
Jun 11, 2013 10:02 PM in response to reflectionljby Vinny1701,Having wrestled with this problem for months now, it's probably going to come down to one of three things: faulty 3rd party memory, faulty power supply or faulty logic board. In my case, I couldn't get additional OEM memory, so I settled for Crucial.com memory. I also replaced the power supply and still, I would get spontaneous shut downs. The last resort was replacing the logic board, and since that, coupled with the other fixes I tried, would've cost more than the machine initially cost me (a 3,1 2 X 3.2GHz 8-core Mac Pro), I decided to bite the bullet and buy a brand new 12-core 2 X 2.24GHz Mac Pro, complete with 3-year Apple Care warranty. So glad I did that. Best of luck to you and please keep us posted.

Jun 12, 2013 11:08 AM in response to Vinny1701by The hatter,If you already bought your 12-core, that is fine, but beaware that 2.24GHz does not always yield the best or optimal configuration for performance (it can be upgraded to dual 3.3GHz though) and for some a 6-core 3.4GHz (but only 4 DIMMs slots max 48GB RAM). 6-core was for many "sweet spot" configuration.
So many BTO options and choices...
-
Jun 12, 2013 11:30 AM in response to Vinny1701by Oreocracker,I agree with Vinny. I was in the middle of a huge rush job and I thought I had fixed the problem by cleaning my memory a half year before. It was too expensive to replace my logic board and couldn't deal with 'dicking around with it', so I got a new computer..... then that one had the same problem the day I got it, (it was from Apple and it was a 2012 refurb - this all happened in January 2013), so I had to take, no LUG, the new computer to the Apple store and get another brand new one. Same year as the refurb, but different months. 2012, 3.2 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon. Knock on wood, it's been a workhorse. Same specs as the one that died, so I guess in 3 years..... I vowed a pc after that debacle.
To make a long story short, save frequently to a bootable external so that you can quickly get another computer and plug and go.

Jun 21, 2013 8:44 AM in response to Vivi4lifeby Grant Bennet-Alder,problems "since installing an update" are sometimes caused by stale add-ons that are not comparably up-to-date.
