I would try a DisplayPort to MiniDisplayPort cable. My Dell monitor came with one, and the 2012 mini pumps our 2560 x 1440 on this cable. But, 2012 mini is a newer machine, the thunderbolt port has the same shape as a MiniDisplayPort. I think such a cable should work for you. I am not 100% sure though. YMMV.
EDIT: perhaps this one, and then use the DisplayPort that came with the monitor?

From OP: I bought a 6' mini Displayport to Displayport cable thinking that would give me max resolution but it gives me a picture with wide black bars on each side
