What is the maximum resolution that a 6.1 Mac Pro MDP can output with Dual Link DVI Adapters?

I am trying to achieve 4 outputs:

1: Local 1080p
2: 3840x2160 @ 25 THTG (2x 1920x1080 @50)
3: 2800x2100 @ 25 THTG (2x 1400x1050 @50)
4: 2560x1600 @ 25 THTG (2x 1280x800 @50)

Also trying to get a Thunderbolt PCIe chassis inline with 2x Phoenix Cards.

Thanks....

I think it would work, but you are kinda pushing the limit there for 1 machine,
Just curious though, why would you use a 3480x2160 if you only need 2x1080. You can just send 3840x1080 right?
Same with the other outputs. Would probably slim down your graphics load a bit and make it more feasible.
I have used 3x4k as a test before but haven't tried many layers.
Let us know what you end up doing and how it worked if you get a chance.

You are totally correct. It should be 3840x1080, 2800x1050 and 2560x800!

Might be able to reduce that again by having output 2 as one 1920x1080 that is split to two projectors.

This setup is working as above on a show now. Phoenix cards included.

Only issue I am seeing is a randomly laggy mouse when the DHTGs are connected. In 10.9 this affected playback (content stutters when the mouse does). In 10.10 the mouse issues remain but do not affect Catalyst at all.
