Yes, but it needs to be an active DisplayPort to HDMI cable.

could you link me one on amazon.co.uk?

Why would it need to be active?

Because all of them are.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

I'm pretty sure even with Nvidia cards for a third monitor you need an active DP adapter. It doesn't hurt if you don't and still get one though.
