Hello everyone I just bought a new monitor the Msi g2712. I have a display port to dvi adapter and it’s not working. When I plug the display port into the monitor I plug the dvi into the adapter and the other end of the dvi into my Pc. And my monitor is not detecting anything. Is there a reason why? Or am I just stupid. Thanks I’m advance!

Adapters are one way, so is that a DVI to DP or DP to DVI adapter? Can you post a link?

Your GPU only has a DVI output?
What's the brand and model of the GPU?

You probably need an active adapter for DVI to DP.

DVI has a maximum output of 1920x1200 @60Hz, Dual Link DVI has a maximum output of 1440p60 or 1080p144. Both not enough for the full performance of the monitor.
