Use the Radeon Pro W6800X MPX Module with your Mac Pro (2019)
Find out about the many different display set-ups that you can use with MPX Module on your Mac Pro (2019).
The Radeon Pro W6800X MPX Module contains an AMD Radeon Pro W6800Xgraphics processing unit (GPU) with 32GB of GDDR6 memory, four Thunderbolt 3 ports and one HDMI 2.0 port. You can use the Thunderbolt 3 ports to connect displays and external devices to your Mac Pro and also use the Thunderbolt 3 ports on the top* and rear of your Mac Pro to connect additional displays.
About ports and buses
The MPX module has two buses for its Thunderbolt 3 ports. If you connect two 5K or 6K displays to the Thunderbolt 3 ports on your MPX module, connect one display per bus.
If you connect a display to the HDMI port on your MPX module, the Thunderbolt 3 ports on Bus 0 can support one additional display with a resolution of 4K or lower. If you need audio output from a display connected to the HDMI port and have other displays connected over Thunderbolt 3, don't connect a display to the Thunderbolt 3 port next to the HDMI port.

Connect the Infinity Fabric Link
If you install two Radeon Pro W6800X MPX Modules, you can connect them using Infinity Fabric Link for increased performance and faster data transfer between the GPUs:
Remove the caps from each MPX module.
Align the connectors on the Infinity Fabric Link bridge with the connectors on the MPX modules, then slowly press it in.
Use a Phillips head screwdriver to turn both screws to the right, into the locked position.
Infinity Fabric Link bridge for Radeon Pro W6800X MPX Module (Model A2666) isn't compatible with previous-generation Radeon Pro MPX Modules.
If you use Boot Camp and have the Infinity Fabric Link bridge installed, the Thunderbolt 3 ports on Bus 1 and the top* of your Mac Pro can't be used to connect displays.
