Im thinking about buying a 4k120hz tv to replace my monitors on my desk but my graphics card doesnt have a hdmi 2.1 port on it and the tv wont have a display port on it so i was wondering if a display port to hdmi 2.1 adapter would work with both my pc and tv and have no issues, does anyone know?picrel is the adapter i was planning to get
I tried a monoprice cable but it glitched out. But i use linux
>>101220590Dont buy these adapters. Their design kills these due to cable weight stress. I've bought ~3 different adapter designs and they all just fail due to cable weight stress. Just get a full DisplayPort to HDMI cable directly. That works the best.
>>101220590im a tech-illiterate dumbass so take this with a grain of salt but if your gpu supports DP++ you could just get a DP to HDMI cable instead of having to use an adapterlook for the two plus signs on the displayport socketadapters introduce latency iirc
>>101220674like this?
>>101220677idk if mine is dp++https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/evga-rtx-3060-xc.b8620this is the card i have
>>101220685Yes. Whatever cable you buy, the cable designs are better from an engineering stress pov.
>>101220775quick google search shows that dp 1.4 only support hdmi up to 2.0, which tops out at 4k60>but my gpu has dp 1.4ai looked a bit and couldnt find anything mentioning they updated the hdmi mode for that version, so i'm just gonna assume they didn't. you might need an adapter after allother anons feel free to correct me
>>101220590I'd say buy an active dp to hdmi cable but even then it might top out at 60hz, check your gpu support, can be finicky with display edid
>>101220677>>101220879>>101221113okay i might be stupid but i just checked and apparently my gpu has 2.1 hdmi on it so i think i might just be good with a normal hdmi 2.1 cable
>>101220590Startech products never failed meI always count on them when I need some obscure doohickey that actually works and actually lasts
just buy a better gpuyou'll never get 1:1 compatibility out of a chink adapter
yes it might work but NVIDIA and other OEMs might do some screwing with the driver that disables the feature and will revert you to hdmi 2.0 and maybe the cable manufacturer might make a firmware update to get it back up.
>>101220590I got a 43 inch LG C4 for a PC monitor. Totally worth it.
