Hello,

I recently acquired a DP (M) cable and I stumbled upon this adapter, which converts DP (M) into Mini DP (F) into Mini DP (M) for my laptop.

Now, my question is - would there be any latency issues with it as to opposed to the regular mini DP cable without any adapters?

My goal is to play at 144hz external screen from my laptop and I want to enable G-Sync, that's really the main reason I want to use DP cable in the first place, since I'm currently using HDMI one.

Thank you for your help!

PS - this is the adapter I'm talking about (click here)
 
Solution
It should not cause any latency issues. I use DP to mini DP cables without any problems. Both DP and mini DP use 20 pins, so it is just a pin to pin connection, albeit slightly different in order.
