So I kinda wrecked myself buying a 1080 asus strix. Didn't realize it would have two display port and two hdmi 2.0. My benq 2720z does not support hdmi2.0 at 144hz. Is there any good hdmi to dp converter with low latency? All the converters I can find convert from dp to hdmi.

You should be able to use the adapter on either end of the cable.  No?

Are you trying to say that you have a three monitor setup and the other two ports are used?

 

Then use a DVI to DP adapter.

I take it you have three monitors.

 

I'm using this adapter with a Xbox 360 and a ROG Swift monitor, no noticeable lag but haven't tried anything but 1080p@60Hz.

Will that carry a 1080 144hz signal?

If it is a DVI dual link adapter/cable then yes it should.
