I ranted about this on a solo post, but before I went back into the store and spoke with the guy that actually built my computer. Instead of the apprentice tech I got last time.
Turns out my computer has two display ports hidden behind permanent looking shields. So I misspoke here, in every possible way. My apologies.
The G14 has this?

Glad you found a cable! Thunderbolt is a proprietary Apple standard that can support Displayport, and many Displayport cables can support Thunderbolt, but for VR - you need a native DP cable. It's way confusing - hopefully future display technologies will be less confusing.
I believe thunderbolt is an intel standard, not apple.

@fransan can you post the exact product you are using? There a are quite a few types of displayport converters and I don't know what to pick.
As long as you get a PASSIVE cable you should be good. Don't use an ACTIVE cable as the cable does work to recode the signal for the other format. The g14 already can send DP from the type C so passive cables are what you need.

Looks like just swapping the HDMI cable somehow still let me play VR. It works 100% fine for me now. Probably will invest in a solution to just use the DP instead of hdmi so I can lower response time and not get a screen door effect

Hey there, I have this EXACT same problem.do you get that error in steamVR home too? I don't. When I go to launch a game all I see is that loading thing and that's when steamVR says mismatching GPU. the reason this confuses me is that the monitor is hooked up to the iGPU and so is the HDMI port on the monitor. As for the blank screen issue, I have that issue as well. I tried it on a cheap Chinese usb c to hdmi as well as a lenovo usb c to hdmi (I guess they're both chinese but whatever.) I did a little research and I think I read somewhere about a possible HDPC issue, but haven't had success so far. A quick note is there are two types of cables. Passive and active. Passive cables don't have any smarts in them and just display what the other end gives it. These are always bi-directional Active cables do an electrical conversion on the cable and are usually uni-directional
ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 + HTC vive = HDMI issue. Help
in VIVE & VIVE Pro

I believe the vive forum admin recommended a type C DP to full size DP. This is a bit misleading when we're talking about the vive and G14. If you look at the other posts I recommended a type C to miniDP. I also said that a type c to hdmi adapter worked for me.
