Question

2010 Mac Pro with 2 X 2k monitors and 1080p TV?

Greetings,

I have a 5,1 Mac Pro. Specifically, a Mid 2010 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon model with 64 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC memory running OS X 10.10.5.

I currently have two ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB graphic cards, both stock, but I am looking to sell one to free up slots for other things.

My question is, I'd like to know if it's possible to run two 2k monitors ( currently looking at: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0JC-0009-00012 ) while also running 1080p on my Sony Bravia 40"?

I was thinking I'd go:

mDP to DP on 2k monitor #1

mDP to DP on 2k monitor #2

dual-link DVI to HDMI on Sony Bravia 40".

It should be noted that I'd like to have all monitors operating at a minimum refresh rate of 60Hz.

Thanks!

Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), Logic X

I think it will work. See:

Thanks for the response, but I should clarify by stating that I already know I can get three monitors to work out of it... doing that now with no problem! It's supporting two 2k monitors, which as of right now I have none, that I'm uncertain about - with specific regard to also getting 1080p out of it as well. I couldn't find much info regarding that scenario in the link you posted.
