HDMI to DisplayPort?
so just got my vive getting all setup and boom my pc only has one Hdmi port its 1060 6gb and I use the Hdmi to my tv as there no dvi port on my tell.

Now tho I see I have a DisplayPort so am hoping I can go Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable for vive and leave my pc using the hdmi port for tv?

anyone know if that is okay or dose the vive have to go into hdmi port.

The Link box included with the Vive includes both Displayport and HDMI ports. You can use either.

I recommend use hdmi-to-DP adapter for your tv/monitor. And connect Vive to HDMI.
There is no 100% guarantee that mini-DP to DP cable will work with every GTX10XX card. It works for some people and not works for other.

There are several options available. You can use the cable you asked about, the displayport to mini display port cable, since there is a mini displayport on the connector box. However, what I ended up doing was getting a displayport to HDMI adapter, to use the displayport on my video card, and just use the original HDMI cable included with the Vive. By no means is that the only option, but I figured its a little cheaper than a new cable and its more flexible, since everything I have uses HDMI. Really though, you can use DVI, HDMI or displayport. They are all 3 compatable signal wise, except for the actual connection itself. So a simple adapter will work to convert any of them, and there are a large number of cables and adapters with different connections.
