Gtx 1060 with HDMI-Display Port Adapter?

[Cayden244]

I am about to purchase this 1060 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127963&cm_re=Gets_1060-_-14-127-963-_-Productbut my friend has told me that new graphics cards don't work with adapters, although he has an AMD. My monitors are actually tvs which don't have display ports. I need to know will this 1060 work with one of my monitors hooked up to it with an HDMI-Display Port Adapter? Thanks

Should do but the card has hdmi and display port connections anyway.

I dont see a reason why a adapter should not work work. your tv doesnt have a HDMI or a displayport?

Adapters for what?

Newer GPUs tend to have 1x DVI-D, 1x HDMI, 3x DP
So if all you need is 1x HDMI, you are fine.
What they do not accept are DVI-to-VGA adapters; as the DVI is Digital Only and does not support Analog; on GTX 10xx series and AMD RX 4xx series

I have two tvs, both have HDMIs but no display ports. So one would plug into the HDMI port on the card and the other would need to use said adapter. Also thank you for your advice.

Okay thank you. I have two monitors, and both have hdmi ports and no display ports, hence why an adapter is needed in my case.

An HDMI to display port adapter for one of my monitors use to plug into the card, as there is only one HDMI port on the card and my monitors do not have display ports.

Best bet is just get an HDMI male to DP male cable, rather than an adapter. And DP also is capable of carrying digital audio, just like HDMI can.

Okay thanks for the suggestion

You could also consider a GPU that has 2 native HDMI ports.

Also, remove the parentheses from the link. It is not needed and prevents it from working correctly.

I have exactly one of these at the moment. The downside is it cannot support beyond 1080p resolution. But it sure beats attaching an adapter.

That shouldn't be a big issue for me, since my main monitor will be using the hdmi port, and likely anything I have above 1080p will be on the main monitor.

I removed the parentheses, and most of the 1060's I've seen have only one hdmi port.

Because they expect you to use DisplayPort; especially if decide to do 3x monitors via AMD EyeFinity or NVIDIA Surround

Asus Strix models have 2 HDMI ports. It's the only one I've seen that does though. They call it "VR friendly" or something to that degree. It would serve your purpose perfectly, without worrying about adapters.

I see, only issue is I severely doubt it will fit in my case. Will have to measure.
