I'm trying to connect a new monitor with a Display Port input to an older computer whose graphics card has an HDMI output. I bought an adapter but it doesn't work. I know you can do it the other way around--DP output to HDMI input--but am I attempting the impossible? Or do I have a faulty adapter or HDMI cable? I believe the graphics card is Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT, although it looks different from the picture I see online. It has three outputs, DVI, VGA and HDMI, while the one in the picture has two DVI outputs and one HDMI output.<br />

The monitor works fine with the DVI connection, but am I missing a performance difference that makes troubleshooting and/or buying a newer graphics card worthwhile?

HDMI output to Display Port input--is it possible?????

A video game console is a device that outputs a video signal or visual image to display a video game. The term "video game console" is used to distinguish a console machine primarily designed for consumers to use for playing video games in contrast to arcade machines or home computers. It includes home video game consoles, handheld game consoles, microconsoles and dedicated consoles.

Game Consoles

A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers, usually comprised of the display device, circuitry, casing, and power supply. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the screen size. They are connected to the computer via VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, LVDS or other proprietary connectors and signals.

Displays / Monitors

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.
