[SOLVED] HDMI or DisplayPort

[ksl2808]

Hi,

Due to upgrade reasons from Intel to Ryzen, i need to attach 3 x 2550x1440 monitors to my RTX 2080 Strix...
I already used the 2 displayports available, and need to connect the 3 third screen to either HDMI or USB-C to displayport adapter.

I only use one of the screens for gaming / high frame rates, while the other 2 are for browsing, work, etc - so its not that, i want to expand games or such over all 3 screens.

Should i go for an HDMI solution, or try finding an USB-C to Displayport, that supports YCbCr 8bit 4:4:4 and 60Hz?

I recommend USB C to DisplayPort.

For almost all (high end) monitors that equipped both DisplayPort and HDMI ports, best screen resolution and highest refresh rate are achieved only via DisplayPort.
Usually, HDMI connection gets same (or slightly lower) resolution but half the refresh rate.

This USB C to DisplayPort cable may meet your requirement (even support 2560x1440 165Hz ):
