thecube27 Posted December 30, 2022 Posted December 30, 2022 Went to setup new Vive Pro 2 headset today with my brand new Lenovo Legion laptop only to realize latest Lenovo laptops don't come with a Mini-DisplayPort anymore. I should have paid closer attention when buying these items to ensure compatibility, just assumed they would be after previously having a Lenovo Legion laptop that worked great with my Vive Pro headset. Is there an alternate cable that can be used, or am I screwed? If alternate cable can be used, what type, and will I notice any degradation in headset experience?
C.T. Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 check your type C port, if it links to the GPU, then you can use type C -> DP
thecube27 Posted December 31, 2022 Author Posted December 31, 2022 I appreciate the response, since I'm not very knowledgeable about hardware, some follow-up questions. I have the following USB-C ports... USB-C Thunderbolt™ 4 USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (DisplayPort 1.4, power delivery) I assume I would use the one with DisplayPort? Would I then want a completely new cable or do I need to just buy a different adapter? Cable: USB C to Mini DisplayPort DP Cable,Knaive Type C Unidirectional to Mini DP 4K@60Hz Adapter: DisplayPort to USB C to DisplayPort Adapter 8K@30Hz/4K@144Hz, USB Type C to DP 1.4 Cable Adapter Thanks!
C.T. Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 I usuauly advise people to check here to see if the port is okay to use. You should be able to find the type C here with your GPU. (example only)
