Spec me a secondary non-gaming graphics card

[Tom Parton]

Ok, i've checked with Akasa too and their adapter & adapter cable are also DP 1.2...
My Akasa contact is going to check in with their Taiwan office on Monday so fingers crossed they have something

We do have the cable below, however, this is only DP 1.2

Thanks for your fast work but I will need to pair this with a 10m fibre-optic cable so it needs to be an adapter, not a cable.

Ok, i'll see what my suppliers come back with. A couple have replied with a v1.2DP which isn't the required spec :/

USB-C to DP v1.4,

Your order link didn't work, but it's stock code CB-107-SR, right? Because that's what I've just ordered.

Thank you for your help.

Yes thats the correct Stock Code. Not sure why the link doesnt work though.

Received with thanks. Unfortunately it doesn't work. More precisely, Windows sees that there's a monitor there and can identify the monitor but I cannot enable the monitor in Display Settings. I tried it on both the USB C port on the GPU and the one on on the motherboard. I'll email Startech for advice but if you have any, please let me know.

Morning @Quartz

I found this in the data sheet - "Your USB-C port must support DisplayPort over USB-C (DP Alt mode) in order to work with this adapter."
If the monitor doesn't support this feature I think you will be back to square one. I don't see anything else that could be causing a problem :/

I've included the link to StarTech's data sheet below for further referrence.

My GPU is a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080Ti WindForce OC. Perhaps @GIGA-Man can confirm whether or not this is supported? The specification page doesn't mention it. Failing that I fear I will have to return the adapter.

Don't worry if you have to return it, thats what the returns policy is for

I'll always try and help find a solution for our loyal customers where possible.

 

[GIGA-Man]

I'll double check about the details on the DP alt mode and will get back to you.
