hi, my monitor doesnt support DP (or atleast im pretty sure it doesnt) since its quite old. its this one https://www.dell.com/ae/business/p/dell-p2411h/pd

however im thinking of getting the MSI GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER Gaming X and it only has 1 hdmi and 3 DP 1.4 connectors

is it possible for me to buy a DVI to DP 1.2 adapter and plug it in? ive had no idea DP existed until 5 minutes ago but what ive gathered so far is that its only needed for 4k+ gaming and DVI to DP 1.4 adapters dont seem to exist(?) i have a hard time finding any

i dont care about that, im running 1080p 60hz. will it work?

Displayport versions are backwards compatible and DP to DVI will work.
