Can I connect a DVI display?

Mac Pro supports DVI displays using Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapters. Use a single-link DVI adapter such as the Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter for DVI displays with a resolution up to 1920x1200. Use a Dual-Link DVI adapter such as the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter for resolutions up to 2560x1600.

Mac Pro supports a total of TWO single-link DVI displays. If you connect a third DVI display using a passive adapter or a display via HDMI, it will cause one of the three displays to become inactive.

from:

Mac Pro (Late 2013): Using multiple displays - Apple Support


ACTIVE DVI Adapters cost about US$40 in the US. They will be sold as ACTIVE to justify their higher price. If they do not say ACTIVE, then they are NOT.

If the resolution of the displays is 1920x1200 or less you do not need the

$99 dual-link active adapter. An active adopter like this will work:
