HDMI to DP adaptor

mr griffin · 5 Jul 2025 at 19:40

Hi can anyone recommend me a HDMI to DP adaptor to use on my VR? would be great if someone is already in the situation I'm now in and found a good adaptor that works well.

I have triple monitors for sim racing and that takes up the 3 x DP off my GFX card - It still has 1 x HDMI port left, but my VR headset is also DP, so would like to convert that remaining HDMI sockets so I don't have to permanently keep swapping a cable over!

Many thanks!!!

any reason you cant swap one of the monitors to the HDMI instead?

I have the 3 monitors setup with nvidia surround, assuming that would still work if I used hdmi on one of them instead of display port then NO that would be a great idea thanks.
