Apple is not the problem, the real problem is technical. Nvidia does not offer 6 display support, full stop.
This too, absolutely.

That article is dated September, new laptops shipped with AMD since then, and not a peep of MacPro.Guys, I think it's only a matter of time: http://appleinsider.com/articles/16...n-graphics-for-revolutionary-new-mac-products
The rumor is the new Mac Pro's will be powered by Nvidia (most likely Pascal architecture). If so, we may have some sort of hope here.
True but doesn't change this part: "A series of new available positions advertised by Nvidia seek software engineers for the company's Mac graphics drivers team. Qualified applicants should have experience with Apple's Metal cross-platform application programming interface, featured on new Macs as well as iOS devices."That article is dated September, new laptops shipped with AMD since then, and not a peep of MacPro.

We all know they are working on a new Mac Pro.
No, we don't.
I think I'm tending to believe this. The way Nvidia has been handling this situation feels very much like a non-disclosure agreement, and Apple in the past has been adamant that new products get support for hardware before competition (think of intel CPU releases) Now I know it's a bit different than an already existing video card, but I feel by now either Nvidia would have supported the released drivers, or said they wouldn't be... unless they've agreed to not disclose this. That would make sense to not tip Apple's hand to a product announcement.
Current MacPro 15 requires 5 display support. Desktops, i.e. imminent iMac 27, current Mac Pro, drive a 6 display requirement. In 2009, AMD introduced Eyefinity 6 display support on Radeon and FirePro graphics cards. Nvidia stops at 5 displays. Desktops drove laptops to AMD.Just because they went AMD for their laptops doesn't mean it will be the same situation for their desktops.
