Hello,
 
I recently bought two S2716DG Monitors. GTX 980 FTW only has 1 DP port. S2716DG does not come with any DVI ports only DP and HDMI. How do I accomplish getting it connected via DP? Converter? I know replacing my 980 ftw would be the ideal choice but cant right now.
 
Please let me know.

    You need an active adapter like I posted.

    would it not be helpful if you fully explain why   that would be better then guessing if your right or not  on a 30 buck cable   ?   the devils in the details ,right ? give the man a solid explanation .

    Because of the extra bandwidth his monitor uses.

    Just read this thread again. I actually posted the wrong info. Driving a displayport monitor from a hdmi video card output isn't possible as displayport uses different signaling standards than hdmi. The only solution would be to buy a new video card.
