So I want to daisy chain a Vive off of a Dell UP3017 the problem is my monitor has a DP out for MST and the link box has a mDP in. I looked on Amazon and I found this, thinking it could be reversed and some people said it couldn't really well, https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B00C7RJQPY/. I cannot seem to find one that is mDP to DP. The Amazon Basics had a similar review on how it couldn't achieve this.

DP to mDP cables are reversible.

Perhaps use a DP MST HDMI hub? you'll get 3 HDMI's (1.4) to connect the either the monitor and vive to the hub.

Or try and connect the hub at the DP out and use the HDMI for the vive.

I know but that would be like 100$ Im trying to find some method that is not so expensive.

Some people had experiences with these not working. Although I might have a way to do this. Use my current mDP to DP cable that came with my monitor and use that for the vive, and use a new one for laptop to monitor.
