The Radeon Pro W6800X Duo MPX Module contains two AMD Radeon Pro W6800X graphics processing units (GPUs) with 32GB of GDDR6 memory each, 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.
If you use Boot Camp and install a third-party graphics card from AMD, you may need to use different AMD drivers in Windows.
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 displays to a single Radeon Pro W6800X Duo MPX Module
If you install a single Radeon Pro W6800X Duo MPX Module, you can connect up to eight displays using Thunderbolt 3 in these configurations.

- One display on Bus 0
- One display on Bus 1
- One display on a Thunderbolt 3 port at the top* of your Mac
- One display on a Thunderbolt 3 port at the rear (Apple I/O card) of your Mac
Eight 4K displays with resolutions of 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz connected as follows:
- One display on each Thunderbolt 3 port
Connect displays to two Radeon Pro W6800X Duo MPX Modules
If you install two Radeon Pro W6800X Duo MPX Modules, you can connect up to 12 displays using Thunderbolt 3 in these configurations.
Ten Pro Display XDRs with resolutions of 6016 x 3384 at 60 Hz connected as follows:
- Two displays: one on Bus 0 of each card

- Two displays: one on Bus 0 of each card
- Two displays: one on Bus 1 of each card
- One display on a Thunderbolt 3 port at the top* of your Mac
- One display on a Thunderbolt 3 port at the rear (Apple I/O card) of your Mac
Twelve 4K displays with resolutions of 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz connected as follows:
- One display on each Thunderbolt 3 port
Use Infinity Fabric Link
Infinity Fabric Link is pre-installed on your MPX module and enables data transfer between the GPUs that is up to five times faster.
- When using a single Radeon Pro W6800X Duo MPX Module, the Infinity Fabric Link jumper should be installed, enabling apps that support Infinity Fabric Link to use it.
- When using two Radeon Pro W6800X Duo MPX Modules, the Infinity Fabric Link bridge should be installed, enabling all four GPUs to work together in supported apps:
Infinity Fabric Link bridge for Radeon Pro W6800X Duo MPX Module (Model A2667) 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.
