  1. is it possible to convert HDMI to DisplayPort? (in that order)


    it seems liek a silly question but i cant seem to find a simple HDMI -> DP adapter for cheap but i can find a ton of DP to hdmi adapters. my issue is that i have a snowblind case that takes up my ONLY hdmi port on my video card, but i have another monitor that needs the hdmi as well (in short i have 3 monitors and 2 of them are hdmi but i only have one hdmi slot.

    cant i just use those dp to hdmi adapters backwards?

    :)

    Nope. It would require an active adapter. HDMI to DisplayPort and DisplayPort to HDMI Conversion Explained

    Active adapters exist. Robot Check I believe that the USB cable only supplies power. (If you didn't want to use a USB port on the computer, you could plug it into a cell phone charger, or other USB power source.)

    They cost more than a passive DP to HDMI adapter.
