Displayport to HDMI problems

[Maxxtraxx]

Hi All! Thank you in advance for your help here.

 

Here is my current system: 1440p display and GTX 1080 fe

 

I have been using a HDMI cable to connect to my display for years without any issues.

I just hooked up my HTC vive which uses HDMI so I had to switch to a displayport port to connect my monitor

My monitor is mounted to the wall and has very little space behind it thus requiring a right angle cable adapter (Example: Here)to hook up the cable and allow for a low profile installation, Easy, plenty available for HDMI

I cannot find a right angle Displayport adapter to be able to use a Displayport cable, so I bought a Displayport to HDMI adapter.

 

The monitor's default resolution is now listed as 1080p by the nvidia control panel and thusly all is fuzzy, I created a custom 1440p resolution and made no difference.

 

1: I am very much guessing when I say the problem is likely to do with the HDMI to DP conversion unless someone else can inform me otherwise.

2: I would greatly appreciate anyone who can direct me to a right angle DP adapter for a reasonable price. HDMI example of the style needed: Here

Thanks!

This is the adapter I use. It can handle higher resolutions, and will let you just use any HDMI cables which should help with cable selection for the right angle stuff.

Thank you for your help! After looking more closely at the DP to HDMI adapter that I bought compared to your recommendation I now realize that it obviously states a max resolution of 1080p if i had only read it a little more closely.
