Info/Tips for using Multiple Displays with Late 2013 Mac Pro:
A late 2013 Mac Pro owner asked for help with problems he had using 3 displays (2 Cinema Displays via TB and a Samsung via HDMI). There are notes on connections/bus limits and a port diagram in the Apple doc on Using multiple displays with Late 2013 Mac Pros. It has 3 Thunderbolt busses (2 ports each) plus an HDMI port (which is on TBolt bus 0). You can connect up to 6 displays, max 2 per bus. Here's a clip from the article that shows the ports and bus ID info:
Note: Attach Displays to different Thunderbolt busses when possible (see below). Do not attach more than 2 displays to any bus. This means if you use the HDMI port, be sure to then only use one of the bottom 2 Thunderbolt ports (bus 0).
That doc also includes notes on active vs passive adapters, 4K displays, etc.
