Mac Pro Goes Mad for Graphics and Displays
How many displays and pixels can a Mac Pro handle when using all 12 Thunderbolt ports to drive eGPUs (Radeon VII) with three 8K and one 4K display and eight Pro Display XDRs daisy-chained to the eGPU enclosures. 1,470,504,960 pixels
2019 Mac Pro display limitations - if using every Thunderbolt port to drive eGPUs?
The new 2019 Mac Pro features 12 Thunderbolt 3 ports.
I am not suggesting daisy-chaining Thunderbolt eGPU enclosures.
We would connect a Sonnet expansion chassis to each of the 12 Thunderbolt ports.
We will daisy-chain a Thunderbolt display to 8 of the 12 eGPU enclosures.
12 eGPUs each capable of driving 3 8K displays with resolutions of 7680 x 4320 at 60 Hz and one 4K display with a resolution of 4096 x 2304 at 60 Hz.
2 Radeon Pro VEGA II Duo MPX Modules each capable of driving 4 Pro Display XDRs or 6K displays with resolutions of 6016 x 3384 at 60 Hz.
Radeon Pro VEGA II Duo MPX:
4 x 6016 x 3384 = 81,432,576
Radeon VII eGPU:
3 x 7680 x 4320 = 99,532,800
1 x 4096 x 2304 = 9,437,184
( 2 x 81,432,576 ) + ( 12 x 99,532,800 ) + ( 12 x 9,437,184 ) = 1,470,504,960 pixels
