Which DisplayPort Switch?

[GoogalyMoogaly]

Hi,

I've posted this in the Monitors sub-section too, but in case people in here don't visit that section much I thought I'd post it here too (plus it didn't get any replies there).

I've got a three PCs that I'm trying to connect to 2 monitors, a 1440p 144hz Freesync screen and a 4K 60hz Freesync screen (2nd screen, not so worried about Freesync on this one).
The only ports I can use on each to get the full resolution at the full speed is a DisplayPort and an HDMI 2.0 port (both have the same ports).
Obviously this doesn't go so what I really need is a DisplayPort Switch. well either 2 of them or one of them and an HDMI 2.0 switch. Can't do 2 HDMI 2.0 switches because GPU vendors seem to have decided that 3 DP and 1 HDMI is the config to go for.

So can anyone recommend a DisplayPort Switch that can do 1440p/144 and 4k/60?
I'm struggling to find many options other than a LINDY one, which I've tried 2 of with mediocre results.

What about an HDMI 2.0 switch for the same job?
I believe there are a lot more of these available (probably because TVs use HDMI 2.0), but finding a good one...

Are there any other options I'm missing?

Thanks.

search for the 'hdfury 2.0 bi directional switcher', a little bit more expensive than the cheap stuff, but guaranteed to do what you need and works. supports hdr has full hdcp 2.2 etc etc.
edit: for clarity are you trying to connect all 3 machines to the same 2 screens at the same time as if so the above wont work, it can only do 3 devices to 1 screen or 1 device to 3 screens.

The one I find is well over £100, is that the right one?

should be €49.00 from the manufacturer website which is the name of the product, should be the 1st result if you copy the product description as i typed it.

Doh just realised yea you can use 2 of these to connect all 3 machines to 2 monitors which would be around 100 quid yea

I wasn't counting on 2. I can't actually make it work with 2 x HDMI switches due to lack of HDMI outputs on GPUs. I can do it with 2 DisplayPort switches or one of each.

yea 1 hdmi and 1 dp switch would work if the dp switch can output to 2 monitors at the same time from 3 machines. if you cant find one 2 of the above would work via the following;3xgpu--hdmicable--hdmi siwtch--hdmi cable--monitor x 2, 3xgpu--dp to hdmi adapter--hdmicable--switch--hdmi--monitor x 2, you would need either a 1.4dp to 2.0 hdmi adapter for 4k (search for Plugable Active DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 Adapter (Supports displays up to 4K / UHD / 3840x2160@60Hz which is known to work) or for lower res but higher herts you can use something like the csl 4kdp to hdmi which i use for my rift whithout issue.
all depends on funds and/or if you can find a suitable dp switch or not really.
