Mac Pro 2013 2.7 12 Core, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD+ 2 6GB video cards

Up for sale is a top of the line Mac Pro 2013 with 12Core 2.7 Cpu, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD and upgraded 2 6GB video cards which was upgraded when purchased. It works perfectly, runs silent and is running Monterey OSX. Low ballers will be ignored since this is the most upgraded over the majority of Mac Pro 2013 due to the 6GB video cards which are mostly 2GB or 3GB. When this Mac Pro was purchased in 2015, it was a special order from Apple. Lowballs will be ignored since it is priced to sell. If you require any additional information, please advise....

There is no mistaking the "Late 2013" Mac Pro models for earlier ones as they present an Apple described "radical" departure from the large, highly expandable tower case design of yore and instead feature a compact dark gray, glossy cylinder design that is approximately one eighth of the mass but has limited internal expansion.

Apple explains that these "Space Gray" cylinder Mac Pro models are "designed around an innovative unified thermal core" and have not only faster processors than earlier models but also dual workstation class graphics processors, faster memory, and faster PCIe 2.0 x4 flash storage. Instead of internal expansion, the system provides extensive high speed ports for external connectivity options.

The Mac Pro "Twelve Core" 2.7 (Late 2013) is a "configure-to-order" configuration of either the Mac Pro "Quad Core" 3.7 (Late 2013), Mac Pro "Six Core" 3.5 (Late 2013), or Mac Pro "Eight Core" 3.0 (Late 2013). However, note that the "Quad Core" model was discontinued and the "Eight Core" model only became a standard configuration possible to custom configure on April 4, 2017. Other than processor, this model can be identical to the stock models.

The Mac Pro "Twelve Core" 2.7 (Late 2013) is powered by a single 2.7 GHz Twelve Core 22-nm Xeon E5-2697v2 processor with a dedicated 256k of level 2 cache for each core and 30 MB of level 3 "Smart Cache." If otherwise equipped as the default models, this configuration has 12 GB or 16 GB of 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC SDRAM, a 256 GB SSD, and dual AMD FirePro D300, D500, or D700 graphics processors with 2 GB, 3 GB, or 6 GB of GDDR5 memory each, respectively.

Connectivity includes six Thunderbolt 2 ports, one HDMI 1.4 UltraHD port, 4 USB 3.0 ports, and Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports in addition to 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.0.

Originally, this model reportedly supported as many as three 4K displays or six Thunderbolt displays. However, on June 16, 2015, without updating the graphics cards themselves, Apple quietly increased the official support to as many as three 5K displays (5120x2880) -- two using Thunderbolt 2 ports and one using the HDMI port. The support for as many as six 2560x1600 displays using all six Thunderbolt 2 ports remained unchanged.

It also supports "Hyper-Threading" -- which "allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core" (so OS X recognizes twenty four total cores on this model, twelve real and twelve virtual) -- and "Turbo Boost" -- which "automatically boosts the processor speed based on workload" up to 3.5 GHz for this model.
