NEC MultiSync EA274WMi 27 inch Widescreen LED Monitor - Black (16:9, 2560x1440, 1000:1, 6ms, VGA/HDMI/DVI-D/DisplayPort)

Hello,


I bought this monitor recently.

NEC MultiSync EA274WMi 27 inch Widescreen LED Monitor - Black (16:9, 2560x1440, 1000:1, 6ms, VGA/HDMI/DVI-D/DisplayPort)

I own Mac Pro 3.1 with Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT 512Mb and 20 Gb RAM.

How can I run this monitor in its full resolution.

If I need to upgrade my video card what options do I have?

I use Lightroom and Photoshop CC on this machine.

I wanted to upgrade this machine to be able to use the capabilities of this screen.

I do not play games on this machine.

I live in UK and looking for a reasonable upgrade option.

Can you please help me and point me in the right direction.

Many thanks,


Ysaglik

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5), null

A dual-link DVI cable is all that is need to run at full resolution.

If it is as advertised it will work fine.

Also for info, a lot of PC cards will work in a Mace Pro with 10.7.5 and later. However, yo will not get anything on the screen until the drivers load. Thus, you can't select Startup disk and do some other things.

I have a 2009 Mac Pro with Yosemite and have a PC AMD 5770 in addition to the original GT120.

Graphics card with 1 GB or later memory can be used by some apps from computations. It depends upon the manufacture. NVidia use CUDA while AMD uses Open GL. Not all apps support both
