![]() ![]() The nice part is, the additional cabling added for the Dual Link DisplayPort cables tidies up the giant power brick situation. Separating them so everyone played nicely together in the Thunderbolt sandbox fixed everything - they both function as you would expect. Turns out the computer just couldn't figure out what to do and didn't want to power them both together anymore. The first acted totally fine, but the second, upon adjustment, would show a little lock below the typical brightness icon. I have each 30" on their own Bus (1&2) and had the two 20" screens on one combined (Bus 0).īefore I learned this little fact, I couldn't figure out why the second 30" wouldn't let me control its brightness level. Note, there are three Thunderbolt busses on our Mac Pros: I have no need to crank the jams in my humble tech room, but I digress. I also get by just fine with its internal speaker I don't need anything else. It was definitely less snappy (ha) with all four plugged in at the same time. I once had two 20" screens off to the left as well the computer didn't really like them too much. The vintage of the Thunderbolt ports on the Trashcan is like a fine wine this is probably the last Apple Desktop to natively play nicely with the awesome family of Cinema Displays. Two 30" Cinema Displays with a 2013 Mac Pro, you say?! Long-winded response time!Īll Apple parts, including the Dual Link DVI cables - no special, third party adapters needed. Thunderbolt 2 at the upstream might not have enough power for the Thunderbolt 3 downstream device. I know the Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter has enough power for an Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter or a Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter but in that case, the upstream is Thunderbolt 3 and the downstream is Thunderbolt 2. However, I don't know if it will have enough power for the OWC adapter. ![]() Well, the OWC Thunderbolt 3 to Dual DisplayPort Adapter has a detachable Thunderbolt cable, so you could connect the Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter to that. Actually, the Thunderbolt 3 to Dual DisplayPort Adapters have an attached USB-C cable so you would have to use a Thunderbolt 3 dock. You should be able to connect two 2560x1600 displays to the same Thunderbolt port using a Thunderbolt 3 to Dual DisplayPort adapter. Plus, the Apple adapters have USB pass thru. In that case, the Apple adapters may have better behaviour. ![]() You just need a couple Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort adapters to connect them to the MacPro6,1. ![]()
