Solved! Laptop hdmi to monitor dp vs laptop dp to monitor dp

[Tez28]

Is there any drawback of using a converter to connect a laptop hdmi to monitor dp, or are both options valid?

I need to connect laptop gpu via display port to enable g-sync on my freesync (g-sync compatible) monitor.

What you want to do requires the use of displayport. Using a HDMI to DP adapter will not work with G-sync.

It says, USB 3.1 Type-C 1st Gen (with function of displayport 1.2)

What does this mean? Will it limit the Hz at which I can output my display to my monitor? Will I need an adapter to use it?

Why are you talking about Type C connection, you have an answer in your other post https://forums.tomsguide.com/thread...-laptop-to-144hz-monitor.469925/#post-1936583
Use the mini display port on the laptop
