[SOLVED] VGA to HDMI to DP, 2 converters, does it work?

[Zuher Laith]

Hi,

I'm having a second monitor that has a VGA port, and I don't have neither VGA or HDMI on my Videocard,
plus I can't connect anything to the motherboard since the one I have is AMD B450 with a non G processor,
so no monitor on the motherboard will work since the CPU won't support.

So I already have a VGA to HDMI converter, it works fine.
but today I bought a HDMI to DP converter, to link all this up would be:
VGA = HDMI = DP

I tried it but it doesn't seem to work... and I think it won't work with this many converters..
am I wrong? or the HDMI to DP piece I bought is broken?

Thanks for any help..

Unless you can do any additional testing to see if the HDMI to DP adapter is faulty, I'd recommend getting a VGA to DP adapter. In general, the fewer adapters there are and the shorter the data cables you're running are, the better your chances of it working will be.

Yeah I would agree,
but still that VGA-DP converter was 25$ expensive, while the Hdmi-DP was only 8$..
by the way the hdmi-dp cable was working fine, I managed to swap outputs and made
it all working fine..

But still, the less converter the more better? does it make a difference?

Thanks!
