Adaptor cable for DVI-D to Displayport

[beefheart]

Greetings

I have searched over the past few days for a certain solution and after not finding a satisfactory answer have resorted to pinging you gurus.

I need a cable to convert DVI-D (video card NVIDIA GTX 750 Ti on computer) to a monitor (Dell P2715Q 27" Ultra HD 4K LED IPS Monitor) that has only a DisplayPort input along with HDMI, but I would prefer to use the DP.

On most articles I have read there are plenty of adapters/cables available for the REVERSE that is a computer with a DP and a monitor with DVI-D, but not vice versa

Is anyone aware if a cable exists for the opposite ? If so a pointer URL to the product would be great!

Thanks

Your 750ti only has DVI? Unfortunately I don't think DVI is capable of 4k at all (30 or 60 Hz) and there isn't a cable that can upscale the image to 4k for you. I would think the 750ti has an HDMI port though, which should at least do 4k@30hz ...or 4k@60Hz if 1.4a+

Whats your exact card and/or what ports? Does it really not have HDMI or some reason you can't use it?

Thanks for the response. I have the following:

Model#: GTX750TI-OC-2GD5

Seems the card has HDMI 1.4a, which is capable of 4k@30Hz. Nvidia said they would support 4k@60Hz over 1.4a as an option with 4:2:0 chroma in drivers after 340.xx

These are the specs I found:

Thanks for your response. I should have clarified before (my bad) that I was planning on using the HDMI port for an older Mac Mini.

I was thus planning on the use of the Display Port for my PC. I am fine if the resolution is at 2560x1440, given that the available port is DVI-D, and need a cable to convert a DVI-D output to DP.

Amazon has quite the selection of adapters.

I don't think either of those two options just posted will work.

Personally I think the best solution is probably going to be an HDMI switch like this:

Even if you only get 4k @ 30Hz through it, should be a better solution that trying to fiddle with adapters that wont even provide the native resolution.
