no DP is the best, why?

DP 1.3 HBR3 mode has 80% more bandwidth than HDMI 2.0, DVI is severity outclassed here
DP 1.4 supports HDR, much better deep blacks, way better color, this is what blur-ray 4k has support for and newer tvs too, hdmi 2.0b also supports this
DP supports Daisy Chaining of displays or you can use a MST Hub 1 Output = 3 Displays
DP adapters so you can do DP > HDMI 2.0, DP > DVI, DP > VGA

thats why there are a boatload of adapters, one of the XFX ref backplate cards include a DP>DVI adapter i think

if everyone wanted DVI, we would have been stuck at 1600p60 for a 100 years..

those adapters i told you about?, dont cost an arm or a leg, its like 18 bucks for a active one dp to dvi or 28 for hdmi 2.0

There is hope! I actually have dual 27" dell ultrasharp 1440p displays with only dvi inputs. Bought display port to dvi adaptors. See link below.

Managed to get 1440p 60hz working without any tweaks in Windows 10. Just plugged the adaptors to my 970 and used a proper dvi dual link cable.

https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Eyefinity-Technology/dp/B00EDT01TO

I also have two of the same adaptor from Cable Matters as a miniDP version in use with my surface dock. Worked straight away.

Have not tried a direct display port to dvi-d cable though. Most reviews only say that 1080p is supported as they are not active. Bit the bullet on those adaptors as I found reviews said they should work 1440p and was not dissapointed.

I am curious about what test failed. For a work phone I would also reconsider joining the insider preview. Be careful with usb-c charging cables since many have the incorrect resistor.

Here are some cool things:
To copy files to and from an SD card.

If you want to connect your dock to a DVI monitor you can use this connector, note it has to be an active type: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDT01TO

u/mdamaged · 2 points r/nvidia

The reviews seem to be rather full of complaints about this particular adapter, issues similar to yours, I cannot say if it's your issue, but if you can return/refund it, do so.

I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDT01TO/ and it works great.

u/badcookies · 2 points r/Amd

Is it Mini display port or full size?

Mini: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B00EDSZYII/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1453060532&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=active+displayport+dvi

Full size: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B00EDT01TO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1453060532&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=active+displayport+dvi

u/STRMfrmXMN · 2 points r/techsupport

An HDMI to DVI adapter like this should work and it's what I would buy: http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-HDMI-DVI-Adapter-Cable/dp/B00NH11X64/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1459211217&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=hdmi+to+dvi

If it doesn't then you might need an active adapter like this: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B00EDT01TO/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1459211233&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=hdmi+to+dvi+active

You want the best connection possible which is always digital. DVI/Displayport/HDMI are all superior to VGA. Just avoid using VGA and you should be fine.

u/THAT0NEASSHOLE · 2 points r/AMDHelp

You could try something like this. I think an RMA through sapphire is your best bet since an adapter isn't guaranteed to work once or any time after that.

u/TheMadOneOfSB · 2 points r/buildapc

https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Eyefinity-Technology/dp/B00EDT01TO/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=displayport+to+dvi-d+active&qid=1568212627&s=gateway&sr=8-3

&#x200B;

As long as it's an active adapter it should support 1440p/60hz.

&#x200B;

So then you just need a card with one DVI-D port and a DP port.

&#x200B;

Edit:

https://www.amazon.com/XFX-1203MHz-RX-550P2SFG5-PCI-Express-Video/dp/B071XXZWT1/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=rx+550&qid=1568212967&s=gateway&sr=8-4

&#x200B;

I think this should be able to drive two desktops at 1440/60. I wouldn't want to game on it or use any kind of demanding programs.

u/Nexdeus · 2 points r/pcmasterrace

You need an active adapter. Your best bet is a displayport to DVI (Active) adapter.

u/danbert2000 · 2 points r/nvidia

No idea if this supports 144 Hz, but it does do 1440p:

Looking for that... how come the top resolution they support is 1920x1200?

u/mm_5687 · 2 points r/Dell

Have you tried USB-C to DisplayPort directly to verify if it's the adaptor or the cable that's the issue?

Most DisplayPort hardware, I guess dongles in particular, will be passive. For DisplayPort to DVI or HDMI you need to get an active convertor, something like this that will convert the DP signal to HDMI/DVI.

There's plenty of information on the topic here:
https://www.startech.com/uk/faq/displayport_converter_dp_multi_mode

Edit: This one seems to support 2560x1440 whilst the other may only reach 1920x1080: https://www.amazon.com/Sienoc-DisplayPort-Adapter-Converter-4096x2160-Black/dp/B00XXNER3M/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1484871155&amp;sr=8-4&amp;keywords=displayport+to+dvi+active

u/burnyay · 1 point r/buildapc

Damn it, you have a point. It looks like an active adapter so I just jumped on it. I have Prime, so I guess I'll try again with this one. Thanks!

u/kadinshino · 1 point r/Dell

Probably not. but look closely at the adapter you bought. It only supports 1920x1080.

So your not going to get your full QHD support.

u/speling_champyun · 1 point r/pcmasterrace

yes i would recommend the active displayport adapters to achieve 4x simultaneous displays.

curious - this one says its active. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDT01TO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
have you tried that one^ and the two mini-DP's only - leaving the VGA one out. i'd be interested to know if that gets you 3x displays.

u/JJRedit2016 · 1 point r/pcmasterrace

I tried it with two converters

u/Zenithik · 1 point r/EliteDangerous

Ah, I forgot one detail that's really annoying. At least one of your monitors must be hooked up via displayport. My monitors don't have a DP input, so I went with an adapter instead. This one should work for you. Whatever you do, do not buy a passive adapter. It must be an active adapter.

u/Corbin_Neubauer · 1 point r/nvidia

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDT01TO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

That is the adapter I bought.

u/TheRealLHOswald · 1 point r/Amd

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EDT01TO?psc=1

That's just plain false

u/thecups · 1 point r/buildapc

I got it to work now. The problem is because I didn't plug my 24-pin all the way in. Right now after I turn on my pc, it takes about 20 sec for my monitor to turn on, is it because of the HDMI -> VGA being a passive adapter? I ordered a Displayport -> DVI from amazon, maybe that can help it?

Here is the link:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00EDT01TO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

u/goldswimmerbj · 1 point r/buildapc

No, but this will, http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B00EDT01TO/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1425530713&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=displayport+to+dvi+active+adapter

The difference is that this one is an active adapter, for some reason AMD requires an Active adapter for three screens.

u/gzunk · 1 point r/buildapc

Not quite a "simple" DP>DVI converter, since it has to be active like this one for single link DVI (up to 1920x1080), or this one for dual link DVI (up to 2560x1440) or this one for HDMI.

It has to be active, because passive converters rely on the GPU sending out DVI or HDMI signals from the DisplayPort (using DisplayPort++, that's what the ++ means), so it's not really DisplayPort.

Technically, some Radeon cards only have two clocks to drive external monitors, so you can only use two legacy (DVI, HDMI) monitors at the same time. If the monitors share the same resolution and refresh rate they might be able to share the same clock, depending on the board manufacturer.

DisplayPort is clockless, so you can attach as many of those as you can fit, or if you use an active adapter then the clock on the GPU isn't used and it's generated by the adapter, so again you can use as many as you can fit.

u/bagofwisdom · 1 point r/pcmasterrace

Just grab one of these it will convert a display port to a DVI connection.

u/sk9592 · 1 point r/buildapc

You need an active displayport to dvi adaptor. A cheaper passive one will not work.

Something like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters%C2%AE-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B00EDT01TO/

Even then, there is no guarantee it will work with all Korean monitors. If it doesn't, you should consider returning or selling the Fury for a different card. I know that the Asus version of the Fury has a DVI port.

u/Syribo · 1 point r/buildapcsales

I have a monitor similar to this, the Acer G276HLGbd which is just a VA panel instead of IPS. I use a DVI to DP adapter for it, and it's perfect. I use it as my side portrait monitor, but only had free Display Ports on my 980ti, so I got the adapter and it's great.

And more specifically, this is the adapter I'm using: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDT01TO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

u/lawlsnoballz · 1 point r/buildapc

I'm using a DVI-D cable and I know it supports 144hz because I've used the same DVI-D cable on my other computer to do 144hz only difference is I didn't have to use adapter. My 580 only has 3 mini hdmi and 1 Displayport. No DVi connections, hence the adapter.

EDIT: apparently I need an active adapter like this http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B00EDT01TO/ref=pd_sim_23_5?ie=UTF8&amp;dpID=41m4rhbeqmL&amp;dpSrc=sims&amp;preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&amp;refRID=0N4A2NJ4PNRV3PYCKPNA

u/aragorn18 · 1 point r/buildapc

You need an active DP->DVI adapter like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Eyefinity-Technology/dp/B00EDT01TO . Then you can go all the way up to 2560x1440.

u/kasra12321 · 1 point r/techsupport

great, I will be ordering this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B00EDT01TO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1413763655&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=active+displayport

I really can't thank you enough for all your help.

u/jerkstore4 · 1 point r/buildapc

I think your best bet will be buying an adapter. You want an active display port adapter. It needs to be "active" meaning it's the adapter itself that handles the conversion.

Active displayport to VGA is cheapest at $15 and looks just as good as VGA straight off the card. If one of your monitors is already using an analog connection, then just pick up one of these.

The active displayport to DVI or HDMI is an all digital conversion so there's no quality loss. They cost a bit more at around 20 bucks.

u/wachiga · 1 point r/buildapc

Wow, I would have never figured this out on my own. Thank you.

Would you recommend something like this: https://www.amazon.com/DisplayPort-DVI-Adapter-1920x1200-Converter/dp/B004SUO1GM

Or this: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Eyefinity-Technology/dp/B00EDT01TO

u/Darkness12 · 1 point r/AMDHelp

Hey there! I do IT/SOHO Support on the side, so I feel like I could help you, but I am gonna need a few more details. I will provide brief explanations for the questions in parentheses which may solve your issue outright. Here we go!

What graphics card do you have? (I assume RX 480 based on the thread in which you posted this)
What video inputs does your monitor use? (If you are converting to VGA, you may only have analog inputs available, which leads to...)
Do you know which DVI adapter/cable to use? (DVI-I is both analog and digital, DVI-D is digital, DVI-A is analog. Then there are dual-level DVI inputs, but if you are using an adapter it is mostly irrelevant. Look up the conversion differences depending on what you are trying to do. VGA (analog) monitors are less and less likely to work with newer graphics cards).
Are you able to use an HDMI cable to test this computer on a television? (This can verify that the drivers, BIOS, config, etc. are at least working through another port on the card. If you only see BIOS then you need to change the default graphics device (typically to PCIE1). If you don't see shit then remove and replace the GPU, confirm the 6 or 8 pin power connection (depending on GPU model), and call the OEM for support if still out of luck )

EDIT: So just for perspective with my XFX RX480 8GB reference model: I have two monitors. One is connected through an Active Display Port --> DVI-D adapter --> DVI-D Monitor ( this adapter ) and the other monitor uses an HDMI (male) to DVI-D Male cable. If you are trying to use VGA, you would be best off spending money on a new monitor/tv. The tech to convert analog/digital signals is overpriced and full of issues.

u/JohnnyFatWallet · 1 point r/buildapc

I’m familiar with active adapters, i just found this one on amazon after reading the comment and wanted to know the circumstances where one would cost so much compared to the one I found ($19 USD today)
