The monitors should work fine if with the new Mac Pro if you have an Active DVI->Display Port Adapter, like one of these <http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004TAFJXK/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1>

Apple’s own Dual link adapter should work as well, but I’ve read reviews that weren’t favorable. Additionally, it requires you use both a Display Port and a USB port. The one I referred to above, just requires one port.

There are several other brands for Active adapters available, but the Sapphire gets good reviews.

good luck!

I have run into an issue that Display Port on Windows has trouble with two 30” at full with a 4K at full, but two 30” should be a piece of cake on any OS these days.

Can someone confirm for me that it's impossible to run two 30 inch Apple Cinema Displays at full resolution (2560 x 1600) from the new Apple Mac Pro?  The Apple support page seems to suggest I can run ONE at full resolution, or I can run TWO at lower resolution... but not two at FULL resolution.

Anyone?
