Shionji Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 So i purchased the htc vive pro but didn't realise i needed a displayport, my laptop doesn't have a displayport or a mini displayport so i was wondering if it would work with a Minidisplayport to Hdmi cable or anything else like a minidisplayport to D-sub or minidisplayport to USB 3.1 type C?

vr_JL Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hi I run a Vive pro from an imac pro with an Aerofara USB C (Thunderbolt 3) - mini displayport cable. I read somewhere that a quality cable is prefereable to an adaptor. JL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HackPerception Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 , please see https://community.viveport.com/t5/Technical-Support/VIve-Pro-not-working-when-connected-to-laptop-through-miniDP-to/m-p/19194/highlight/true#M7087 You must insure that your USB-C supports displayport 1.2 and if you have an Nvidia card, you may need to adjust the following setting to "high-performance Nvidia processor".

Jackevolution Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hey I just got the acer predator helios 300 with a usb-c 3.1 portwith an nvidia GeForce GTX 1060. I bought this adaptater: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018AX3HJO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_H80.AbR8VKXJ1 and it doesn't work. Is there a way to check if the usb-c port can support display port 1.2?

HackPerception Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 , Normally it's listed in the tech specs for most OEMs but Acer's specs on this laptop are not very detailed. According to this KB article, the port is data-only and not connected to the GPU. I would recommend sending a note to Acer to confirm. https://us.answers.acer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/51533/~/usb-c-port-does-not-support-video-output-on-predator-helios-300-models-%28g3-571%2C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackevolution Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I checked the model number and the port is not connected to the GPU. So does that mean I can’t use the vive Pro with this laptop? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 , Sorry for the delayed response, it seems my response didn't actually post. Unless you have a DP1.2+ compatible output, you will not be able to use the Pro unfortunately. I would always refer to the OEM of your hardware to verify what hardware capabilities it has - from afar, it does seem like this specific model is not Pro compatible.

Jackevolution Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Ok so i bought this laptop with a mdp 1.2 I will receive it tonight with a mdp to mdp cable. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7TWAYC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_PAWyBb4F2F0C4 I will tell you if it works. Thank you for the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 , oh dang - that's one way to solve that issue @_@.... I think that this one should be good (and overall be much more suitable due to its 1080). Which MDP cable did you buy? We're recommending the 3 foot variation of this cable in case you have troubles with the one you ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
