Can I plug a discrete graphic card output into it and drive an Apple Thunderbolt display? Asus only showcased bypass mode using onboard graphics.

It should also be noted that the driver for the Apple Thunderbolt display is not verified for Windows, so you will have to use the Intel Thunderbolt Controller software to connect the monitor

This will work with any display port whether it is onboard graphics or discrete graphics, and yes you could use it for an apple thunderbolt display.

I have used it with both, works perfectly with either. Get the thunderbolt adapter.

Yes, it can. This question infers that you will be skipping the notion of a discrete graphics card, and instead utilizing the onboard GPU capabilites built into the newer Intel chipsets? If not, then you would not be concerned with those ports, but with the ports on whatever GPU you plan on installing. As an "enthusiast" level user, I have no need for those, so I have never even plugged anything into them, but I understand their functionality.

Mini Display and Thunderbolt are the same from what I understand - My Macbook Air has a thunderbolt and it works fine.

According to this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5219#1 I believe you should be fine. Read it to be sure, but I believe the Haswell based Airs run video through thunderbolt just fine.

I currently run 5 monitors (3 evga, 1 thunderbolt, 1 macbook pro built in) off of a Radeon HD 6750M. It works fine for non-gaming, the only noticeable effect is that the screen savers across all the monitors get just a bit choppy.

Not sure, but mine was purchased before Thunderbolt was available, and would have HAD to go in another input. Probably not Firewire either. Mini VGA?

Yes, Thunderbolt and MiniDisplay use the same connector.Some more info here: http://www.cnet.com/news/confusing-mini-displayport-with-thunderbolt/

YES! I run my mac book pro with Mini DisplayPort out (mini DisplayPort works in the Thunderbolt jack) to the dual link converter from Apple. It works great and I get full resolution. You will need this adapter and a dual link DVI cable (I think the Crossover monitor comes with the DVI cable). Apple Mini MB571Z/A DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter There is also a less expensive adapter version from Monoprice that should work but I have not tested on my Mac.

First off - I would recommend getting a better Asus monitor like the 246 or 248 - the one with LED. I sold this one already.Answer to your question is yes. You can connect macbooks to any monitory but you need the display port converter (for hdmi/dvi). As for mac tower, if they take display port, it should not be a problem. Check at the apple store.

No, I built this as a editing machine for solid works, and at my last job had two thunderbolt displays connected daisy chaining two more externals. In total I have 4 monitors running on this computer without issue. The ports are at a standard distance way from each other that two thunderbolt cables connect perfectly.

Push Command & F2(pending on year of iMac),pending year,you may also need to hit your Function (fn) button as well. Also try going into "system Preferences" go to "Display" & use the "Target Display" options. Most (if not a large percent) of Mini Display will work with the thunderbolt.They're also "Thunderbolt to HDMI adapters you can use.I use one when need be to hook up my iMac or MacBook Pro to a TV. They are inexpensive $7.00-$10.00.The Mini display or regular Display cables will get you better graphics FYI, than an HDMI or VGA.

All I can tell you is that I have the very same model & mine has 2 thunderbolt ports. Contact ASUS to confirm or visit their website or Google the model name & number.

I have tested this in Bootcamp with a 2013 MacBook Air, and it worked for me. I installed the Windows drivers from CalDigit.I leave the lid closed (clamshell mode) when the Air is connected to the dock, and I have a monitor connected to the HDMI port. I use the gigabit Ethernet port, and one of the USB ports for a keyboard and mouse. This setup works for me in Bootcamp with Windows 7. I didn't try hot-plugging the dock in Windows 7. Given what I've read about the Apple Thunderbolt Display, I don't think it work work in Windows, but I haven't tested it.

No it is not a thunderbolt display. You are simply using the displayport2 protocol to send display info to the monitor. You will need to use another wire to send USB, and in my experience so far that does not work. It's a great display once you tell OSX how to display colors, out of the box it's going to look fuzzy and distorted - don't worry, it's just a command prompt configuration setting to fix.

It has a display port in addition to the USB ports but I don't know if that's the same as a Thunderbolt port. Sorry I can't offer more help. Note the packaging does not list Thunderbolt amongst its ports/capabilities.
