Your adapter is limiting you.

You need an active adapter: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Supporting-Technology/dp/B00EDT0072

Also it could be your HDMI cables if they're not on a modern standard.

Yes, the reason is a Displayport to HDMI cable is a PASSIVE adapter, and can't support the higher resolutions you want.

Does your 2k monitor only support HDMI? DVI may be an easier choice if you only want 2k video (but no sound) from the monitor.

Yeah, that's another passive adapter, thats why you got the same problem.

But the monitor doesn't support DVI anyways so you're outta luck there.

The active displayport adapter is what you need.

As long as the you're not expecting high framerates, sure. Still images and 24/30FPS videos should be fine.
