AstroKiwi Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hello All, I recently put together my new system - in signature - and realized I made a big mistake: I should have gotten the Aorus 2080 Super rather than the Windforce, as I need the extra ports available in the Aorus version! I am running 3 40" TV via DP to HDMI cables and the Rift. Now, I am planning to upgrade to the Rift S but I have no DP ports available and the Rift S needs a DP instead of the current HDMI needed by the Rift. Not sure I can return the card, so only option is to buy an extra 2080 Super and run it in SLI - I know I won't see any benefits, but I would purely do it for the extra ports I need. Thoughts? :) Cheers! E.

FoxTwo Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 2080 has a USB-C port no? Use that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chump Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 HDMI to DisplayPort cable? It sounds like you are using DisplayPort to HDMI for your TVs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dburne Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) HDMI to DisplayPort cable? It sounds like you are using DisplayPort to HDMI for your TVs. Most likely will not work, I have yet to see anyone successfully able to do this. You would be best served if you can sell your current GPU card and get one more appropriate for your needs. I would not try two card/sli , would likely be even more headache.

FoxTwo Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 What about a displayport splitter? https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Featuring-Resolution/dp/B07T8BPZG2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
