Help with my first display port monitor

[axlrose]

So...I am leak testing my new loop, which now includes my new 1080ti, and when I opened the box to my new monitor, I got my first glimpse at a display port cable. It's massive compared to the tiny HDMI attachment on the end of my old cable. I don't have room for the end of the cable where it plugs into my GPU.

Is there any sort of 90° adapter or something similar for using display port in confined space?

Thanks.

How about instead of an adapter, just a cable?

That looks like it would work. Now I just have to find one locally today so that I can use it for my LAN party tomorrow. Can I get one of these at a Best buy or a microcenter or is this something that is odd and would have to be ordered online?

It depends on the store. Give yor local stores a call to see if they have one, or maybe try to use another apropriate cable you have alrady, if you can.

Getting something that adapts from display port to HDMI would lower performance right?

 

[Ne0Wolf7]

It depends on what your doing. Certain HDMI cables can o 1080p at 144 Hz, others cant. If yor just doing your standard 1080p 60Hz, you wont notice any difference at all.

That's what o figured. New monitor is 2k at 165.

If you already have an adapter or can get one at your local store you might just have to deal with it for a night, unless that store has the cable you're looking for. You can't just angle the PC to the wall for a couple days either?

No, some modding going on here. I may just end up drilling a hole in the bottom to put the cable through.

Oh, I see.
Well, you know where to buy the apropriate cable online, so if you have another PC or an inferior cable that will work and you want to avaiod drilling the hole, those are your options.
Thats and awsome setup too

Hole tomorrow, cable to be ordered. Surprised it's so hard to find. That NEC cable should be perfect though.

Thanks.

Might have finagled the cable under there with some help from my wife.
