Hi All,
I hope you are well.
Can you recommend a good DP-to-HDMI adapter ?

I have one GPU that has 2 x DP, 2 x HDMI and 1 x DVI
and another GPU that has 3 x DP, 1 x HDMI

For some reason I have an issue connecting monitors to one of those DP ports.
It's not picking up the screen resolutions on one of them or couple of them and I had to plug to DVI instead.

You might want to clarify what the make and model of you GPU's and your monitors are. Some GPU's can't output to multiple displays when you cross a certain refresh rate and resolution.

1. BenQ EW2775ZH 27 - 23 May 2017 (set to HD resolution)
2. Asus that is similar in spec to BenQ EW2775ZH. (set to HD resolution)
3. BenQ EW2780Q 27 - 20 January 2021 (set to QHD resolution)
4. BenQ EW3270U (set to 4K resolution)

The GPU that I am having issue utilizing is the 2nd DP port on an AMD Radeon RX 590 8GB, so I plugged the monitor to the DVI port (5th) instead and it works in HD resolution.

On the same system I also tried an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT that has 3 x DP ports, and on one DiplayPort it's not publishing the resolutions but some bogus 640x480 so I became suspicious of the quality of DP-to-HDMI adapters, I reckon these are pretty dumb devices.

Does this look like a problematic setup?
I mean it at least works on one of the GPUs so the monitors are not the issue.
It seems to be more problematic on this newer RX 5700 XT.
