Club 3D Intros DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 Active Adapters with 4K-60 Hz Support

btarunr · Nov 25, 2015

With AMD announcing software support for HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 active adapters with its Radeon Software Crimson Edition, various AMD AIB partners could jump in with such adapters. Club 3D, which has been making dongles, converters, and adapters, besides AMD Radeon graphics cards, announced its entry. The company announced two active adapters - standard DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI 2.0, and mini-DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI 2.0. Both support 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels), with 60 Hz refresh rate display mode. The company didn't announce pricing.

Yass. This is what I'm waiting for.

So, all the hate at R9 Fury cards for not having HDMI 2.0 out of the box is not an issue anymore. Sure you have to spend few bucks more for adapter, but it's doable and makes it a fully functional TV supporting device.

indeed. still would have liked native hdmi 2.0 on the card itself... that had room for hdmi port in the first place ofc.

Took long enough, jeez! Not who I expected to have it first though.

Why do I get the sense that the price is unreasonable due to low volume?

AMD killed off DVI-I/DVI-A in high end cards. I suspect they want to kill off HDMI too. Remember the 5870 Eyefinity 6? Mini DisplayPort only. Sure it was a low volume card and quite ahead of its time but, there it is.

active converter => high price ( 50-60€ range per converter )

and cable to power the converter...
not best option for an HTPC card ;-)

I'm worried it'll bring noticeable input lag though.

Besides, from what I see from several listings from EU local sites, apparently it's not mere few bucks. I predict it's EUR40~ stuff or so.
But even if that's the case, it still about ~$100 cheaper option than trading my 390 to GTX980.

That's backwards...HDMI to DisplayPort. This is DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0. I think the latter is inherently cheaper than the former but, yeah, I would expect close to three digits at least until volumes grow.

For reference, most DisplayPort active converters are $20-40. I think it will start at $80'ish and eventually fall to $30-50.

I wouldn't be concerned about that. What I would be concerned about is detecting the state of the connected monitor and having that information sync with the graphics card/Windows. I have two DisplayPort active converters (one to VGA and one to DVI-D) and I ended up installing a second card then later, using the integrated GPU to drive the DisplayPort. Putting them on one card and using my KVM to cut off and restore signal, Windows moves everything from the DisplayPort display to the main display. It sounds trivial but when it happens many times a day, it gets downright annoying.

It's more Windows' fault than DisplayPort. This issue doesn't exist, for example, in Linux.

Fluffmeister · Nov 25, 2015

yay for additional costs.

Octavean · Nov 25, 2015

I'll consider this to be a good thing.

Generally speaking though, I don't like to buy and use adapters. I typically buy monitors that have all the ports I want / need and the same goes for video cards. I've had a triple monitor setup for years and never once used an adapter. If I can help it I'll still buy the product that natively supports what I want to use and in this case it would remove the need for such an adapter,....

dwade · Nov 25, 2015

$650 Fury X plus whatever these toys cost. Eww. And probably additional input lag.

rooivalk · Nov 26, 2015

According to their announcement, it's gonna have $35 MSRP but only available by the end of december. Ugh.
