Re: Best video card for cheese grater Mac and HDX?
I was digging around on the web and noticed people started playing around with 4K monitors about the time Mavericks was released. They were more pricey then.
With prices in the $275 to $400 category for the 28" variety 4K goodness, and compatibility with the early Mac Pro hardware, seems like now is a good time to gather a few 4K monitors.
I have been holding off on Sierra. But I would be surprised if there was a problem.
Apple updated the video drivers for El Capitan, which gave new life to the old 5870 cards. The 4K video drivers supporting multiple 4K monitors on the 5870 card may be in Mavericks or Yosemite as well (not tested). Can't imagine they would go backwards with Sierra.
Mountain Lion supports a 4K and a 2K, just not sure if a different card would enable 4K Plus 4K. Maybe.
