I bought a new monitor that only has DP and HDMI ports, but my graphics card can only output this resolution through its DVI ports. So the only way i can possibly get this monitor to work is if i can find a decent adapter. Do any of you guys have any experience with DVI to HDMI adapters? I also don't want to be paying an arm and a leg for a stupid active adapter that will become useless to me when i finally upgrade my system. Ive been compulsively doing research for the past day but I cannot find a definite solution; there are always people claiming that the product either does or does not work.
Here are some cables/adapters that ive found
Somebody in the amazon comments claimed that this cable worked for them:

This one is overly popular so maybe you guys can tell me more about it as it is nearly impossible to find some of its specs (e.g bandwidth)

Also, im not really going to be playing much games on this thing for the time being, so I'm not looking to upgrade my graphics card. However I do plan on upgrading my rig sometime in the future, maybe when AMD Zen processors come out.
Some more info:
Ive got a GTX 460 768 MB that has 2 DVI ports and a mini HDMI port which i believe is limited to 1920x1200
Thanks in advance
