What adapter do I need to connect my LG 5K ultrafine display to a Mac Pro 2013?

I have a 2013 Mac Pro and an LG 5K ultrafine 27" display.

The LG display only has thunderbolt 3 connections, and the Mac Pro does not have thunderbolt 3/ usb-c.

I would like to connect the display to the Mac Pro.

What is the best setup for this?

Will I be able to get native 5K resolution with an adapter?

Mac Pro

For ThunderBolt displays ONLY, you can use the Apple ThunderBolt-3 <--> ThunderBolt-2 adapter. For your case, you would need to add a genuine ThunderBolt-2 cable on the computer end.

NB>> This adapter does not support any other display protocols (even with adapters) than genuine ThunderBolt displays, and does not provide Thunderbolt power in either direction.
