    What Mac Pro?

    If not the 2013 Mac Pro what graphics card?

     

    Apple says:

    Dual-cable displays

    Some displays with resolutions higher than 4K require two DisplayPort cables to connect the display at full resolution. With OS X Yosemite v10.10.3 or later, the Dell UP2715K 27-inch 5K display is supported on the following Mac computers:

    • Mac Pro (Late 2013)
    • iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014 and later)
    • MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) with AMD Radeon R9 M370X

    A silver tower Mac Pro with 980 card supports 5K
