Dp/HDMI to dvi-d Adapter?

Lenixx
Go to solution Solved by APasz,

Both of those are passive adaptors and will not deliver the full performance you're looking for.

You need an active adaptor.

 

There is no way (at least with consumer hw) to use the mobo's video outputs with the gfx card.

I recently built a ryzen 5 3600 build with zotac AMP edition 1660 super. My old monitor is Acer GN246HL. It only gives 144hz on Dvi-D port. My GPU has no Dvi D port and Only 3 Display ports and One HDMI. I know I can get 144 hz from any port off my GPU but the monitor just won't go beyond 75hz on HDMI to HDMI and I bought an amazon basic's HDMI to DVI cable that didn't went beyond 60hz on 1080p. Now I know I can return the GPU and go for a gpu that has DVI-D port and end this suffering but due to the lockdown, I cannot see any 1660 super with a DVI-D in my region (India) available right now. So can anyone suggest me a solution here? What kind of cable or adapter should I be looking for? It would be great if you can link one. Also, just to get it out of my system but there is no way that I can use the Dvi port on my motherboard and make it work with the monitor right? I tried and it said no signal(Ofcourse cause I dont have an iGpu) but still. Thanks in advance and stay safe!

That won't work.

 

You need an active Displayport to dual link DVI adapter, such as this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003XYBA72/?tag=linus21-20

Or you need a videocard with DVI out.

Do you think this will work? https://www.newegg.com/global/in-en/startech-com-dp2dvis/p/N82E16812200949?reviews=all&Description=display port to dvi active&cm_re=display_port_to_dvi_active-_-12-200-949-_-Product

Judging by the reviews, looks like that could do 1080p144Hz

That wouldn't work:

Connector B: DVI-D DUAL-LINK (MALE) (WIRED TO DVI-D SINGLE-LINK)

Single link DVI can only do 60Hz.

It says Single-Link DVI in the description.

 

You need an active dual-link DVI adapter.

Is there some way that I can get 100-120hz without spending 100$ on an adapter?

You can usually find them on ebay for maybe $40 or 50. Other than that, not really.

Okay thanks! Last question, I have never bought off ebay. Is it safe?

Ebay is generally safe.

In case you get burnt though, it has great buyer protection.
