Re: Does This Kill The Mac Pro?

You're right about the Displays.... I thought that they'd EOL'd the Cinema display, but obviously I was wrong.

[Jeremy Garchow] "No. (Sorry). I don't get it. A MacPro can have a GPU with DVI/Displayport. Thunderbolt IS Displayport+PCIe. You can have a DVI/Displayport monitor and plug straight in to the GPU, or you can use a Thunderbolt monitor and plug right in to Thunderbolt, which will still get the info from the GPU, it's just sent out of the thunderbolt port. You can have both, you don't need custom anything (in theory) and you won't have to buy a thunderbolt monitor with a thunderbolt MacPro."

Think about what you just said.

"or you can use a Thunderbolt monitor and plug right in to Thunderbolt, which will still get the info from the GPU,"

You need a Custom GPU to do this. There's no other way.
How do you expect to do this without a GPU of a type that doesn't currently exist?
