how to connect a monitor with only display port to a GPU with only HDMI ports?

[Ahmedelgohary94]

there's an old monitor in my house I just tried to connect it to an old box with gtx 750 TI. I just want to use the DP port on the monitor. the fact that Gigabyte GTX 750 TI windforce doesn't feature any native DP ports. so i bought a DP male to HDMI female adapter connected it to monitor then connected the HDMI cable from the GPU to the adapter and it doesn't show any signal . so how to get this setup to work? also, I found an amazon basic DP/HDMI cable with both ends male could this cable carry signal from GPU to Monitor.

The cables are not bidirectional, so you have to read the description to make sure it will work for your use case. You need to make sure the cable or adapter you buy is for converting HDMI output to display port input.
