dvi to displayport?

[flod]

i would like to connect my old computer's gtx 460 to my gsync-modded vg248qe, which only supports displayport. my gtx 460 has two dvi-i outputs and one mini-hdmi output.

it seems most cables/adapters are designed to connect computers/graphics cards with displayport output to dvi monitors...

is it possible at all?

I doubt it, G-Sync requires DisplayPort to work, and I don't think DVI has enough bandwidth to get 1080p at 144hz (the DVI it uses on the vanilla VG24QE is dual link).

my card supports dvi dual link

dvi dual link can easily support 1080p @ 144Hz but the signals are not compatible without and active adapter i think

Your card does not support Gsync if this list is correct. http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/g-sync/supported-gpus

Yup, that is because before Kepler, Nvidia did not have native support for DisplayPort.

Remember everyone how AMD caught the entire industry by surprise with evergreen

I don't think AMD has caught anyone by surprise since the Athlon 64 era.

............
you don't need a card that supports gsync to use the monitor
i can use the monitor with my laptop with intel graphics (thinkpad x220)

i think it's going to just be cheaper to get a used gtx 580 or something that has displayport

guess it does exist
