| I'm trying to use four HDMI monitors by adding DP-to-HDMI adapters, but it doesn't work. | Jun-21-21 |
| Use at least one active DP-to-HDMI adapter.
Display Port signal is not compatible with HDMI.
However, on most modern GPU cards, the DisplayPort output is a Dual mode DisplayPort (DP++), which has the ability to recognize and adjust the signal to HDMI when a passive DP-to-HDMI adapter cable is connected, but only up to a point. If the HDMI monitors you are trying to connect are identical (use identical video signal timings), then you should be able to use passive adapters for all. However, if the monitors are different, then there may be a limit of two special clocks to drive passive DP to HDMI adapters; ergo only two HDMI monitors may be supported with passive adapters; the third and subsequent monitor would need to be native DisplayPort or would need to use an active DP-to-HDMI adapter.
Older generation GPU cards require the use of active DP-to-HDMI adapters on every DP port. |
