I’m dumb what’s the 3rd cord on this adapter?

This one [www.amazon.ca] My new gpu only has dp and my asus v248qe needs dvi. Still beats buying a new monitor though I guess?

Did you get the 5060 then?

I would put the $64 that cost's into a new screen.

You could probably find a monitor second hand with DP for that much, won't be the best screen but I imaging better than the one you have being that old.

No it doesn't, you could get a new, much better monitor for not much more than that adaptor, it's time to upgrade.

That is weird because I own that monitor and it has DP, HDMI, and DVI (ASUS VG248QE).

Yeah I just checked, OP, your monitor has dp and hdmi.

Still, probably time to consider an upgrade.

Yeah I did, and true. I'll probably just get the DP cord because I didn't realize my monitor had that lmao, but anyway what would the main differences be with new monitors anyway? Mine is 1080p and 144hz that's all I need. Is there some other factor with monitors I don't know about haha

usb is to adapt power
dp signal is 3.3v, dvi signal is 5v
most dp to hdmi/dvi adapters use the dp 3.3 and boost it to 5v

To be honest I was lazy and didn't google the screen and assumed it was just some old thing, yeah grab a DP cable for sure.

It was supplied with one but it was really short and i had to replace mine anyway. And I've bought Startech stuff before and found it garbage, does not always work.
