AmandaBruh Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I got a new HTC VIVE COSMOS and during the setup it need a display port which is included in the box. The problem is that the displayport is too big to fit in any slot in my computer. I have a razer blade 15 btw which has graphics that are VR ready and everything except a display port slot. It has a hdmi port however and I am thinking a mini displayport to hdmi would work but don't wanna waste my money. people with the same problem what should I do?

LMulvey Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I looked up the Razer 15 and it appears that it has a Mini DisplayPort. You can use a DisplayPort-to-Mini DisplayPort adapter, according to HTC Support for the Cosmos: https://www.vive.com/us/support/cosmos/category_howto/can-i-use-a-laptop-with-vive.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristinaBanana Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 What version is your Razer blaze 15? 2019 or older one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 @AmandaBruh You're technically now able to request a free miniDisplayport Adapter via www.vive.com/support -> Contact Us -> Contact Us Otherwise, I would recommend the 3 foot version of this cable. It is known to work with Pro/Cosmos and is under $10 USD. This may be a faster option depending on where in the world you are. On that specific laptop, you need to disable "Discrete Thunderbolt support" in the BIOS. Please see this post for instructions. If you don't disable this option, headsets will not work. I have the 2070MQ version of this laptop and can confirm that you still need to disable Discrete Thunderbolt Support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmandaBruh Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 Razer - Blade 15.6" Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 - 512GB SSD - Black that I got from best buy the link is here https://www.bestbuy.com/site/razer-blade-15-6-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i7-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-2060-512gb-ssd-black/6409400.p?skuId=6409400 and it doesn't include a mini displayport it has a hdmi port I saw this thing that you can connect to your computer and it gives you more ports including the display port so if I can't do anything then I will do that but I am buying a mini display port to hdmi port and seeing if it works.

HackPerception Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 @AmandaBruh Oh snap, my bad. I actually haven't come across that variant and was not aware they were producing RTX models devoid of . In some cases you can use a USB-C -> Dispayport adapter to drive support for headsets. This is the most reliable adapter we've found for current gen HMDs. That said, it becomes hyper model specific because the USB-C port must both: A) Support Displayport 1.2+ Signaling; and B) Must physically wired up to the Nvidia dGPU rather than just the integrated graphics chipset. The specs sheet for that laptop say the following: USB 3.1 Gen 1 (USB-A) x 2, USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, Thunderbolt™ 3 (USB-C). Which doesn't bode well. In this case, I would recommend contacting Razer directly and asking them if one of those ports can support Displayport 1.2+ signaling via the Nvidia dGPU. If they say no - not only will that laptop not support Cosmos - it will not support any current gen Desktop HMD (Index, Rift S, Pimax Ect...).
