GTX980 doesn't have full size HDMI for Rift

Banzai_Joe · 11 Dec 2018 at 18:39

Hi all,
using an older rig to power the rift and i noticed the GTX980 only has 1 x DVI, 3 x mDP and 1 x mHDMI port.
So no full size HDMI port to plug the rift directly into.
I assume there's a certified or accepted (works with rift) adaptor from either mDP to HDMI (female) or mHDMI to full HDMI?

Any help appreciated, cheers.

I use a display port to hdmi adapter.

The guys in the rift thread will tell you which one to buy. I think it was like £5 on amazon.

Thanks.
Didn’t realise there was a “rift” thread. Only saw “Virtual Reality” with no sub-threads.

I think he means this one https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/oculus-rift.18481151/

But your question is fine where it is tbh (unfortunately I don't know the answer)

I have a 4K enabled mini HDMI to full HDMI twin pack pair of adaptors being delivered today from the rainforest. £8.99
We’ll see.

Yeah hopefully should be fine. Mine is just a cheapo one and works fine with a 1.5m ugreen hdmi extender.

"CSL - 4K Ultra HD Displayport to HDMI adapter with audio transmission" works great....
