Display Port Cable Create Video Driver Crash

This display port cable is a great value.

This cable works. Nothing else to say; it's a cable. Display port is on the computer end, DVI on the monitor end.

This monitor has display port interface and cable included. Works well, and is a good value.

After a recent Windows update caused display driver issues, I needed to change to a different video input and my display didn't have built in support for DisplayPort. While it took a minor reconfigure for Windows to recognize the new connection, it's been working perfectly ever since.

One day a USB C gen 3 connection failed causing a tethering program to crash as only gen 2 was available. I used this adapter to connect to a USB A gen 3 port to get the job done. It turned out that Microsoft (in their inimitable way) had replaced the manufacturers USB C driver with a generic driver during an update that caused the ASMedia 3142 to provide Gen 2 service only.

This has worked great. I wanted to use a laptop as a crash cart for my router. I needed SFP for the connection. This has worked great. You do need to load some driver for it. From another site, I found out QNAP is owned by Marvell now. So, you have to go to the Marvell driver site and search for the device. Get those drivers and it works fine. There are the drivers and firmware update. The file is Marvell_AQtion_Win_v3.1.10.0 currently for the drviers. All power is from the USB-C connector. It gets hot, which is expected, but never has any issues with it working. I am using it with a DAC and get full 10GBE with no issues. It's small and I can place it anywhere I need and take it with the laptop. Make sure whatever you use has Thunderbolt for it to work.

This is a perfect must have. Especially since my gaming laptop didn't have a Standard Display Port and I was in a dire need more a mini display port to display port cable

There are many good monitors but the lacks the MinidisplayPort needed for a Mac. With this cable Display Port to MinidisplayPort the problem is solved. I works perfect with the maximum definition 4K 60Hz.

This dock is absolutely worth it. I have dual 1440p monitors (one Apple Thunderbolt Display and one Cinema Display), both are running perfectly at 60 hz via adapters. I keep an external SSD plugged into the 10 gbps port and get great consistent speeds. No problem getting sustained full gigabit speeds over the Ethernet port. I often get handed SD cards by my colleagues to offload media to our servers. Those transfers are fast with the UHS-II card reader. USB thumb drives are also so handed to me frequently, these get plugged in the front USB ports. All this AND I get 87 watts of power to my laptop. Now I can unplug just one cable if I have to go to a meeting or do a video call in another room. The CalDigit software that ejects everything with one click is nice as well. In short, my laptop becomes a desktop with just one cable. This is the best purchase you can make for your mac if you use it in a professional environment. If you’re on the fence, just buy it. It’s better than all other options on the market at the time of this writing (August 2020).

Which one should you be using? Both types serve the same purpose, but when you get a monitor, graphics card, or TV higher than 4K, that's when the big advantage of the Display comes in. While HDMI is still stuck at 8K, 60Hz, the Display Port is a ridiculous 8K, 120Hz or 16K, 60 Hz, so, as for SPEED, the Display Port takes the lead!. BUT...the advantages of this incredible speed and resolution, is something that most regular consumers won't see anytime soon. as they move very slowly to newer technology. The lock in teeth is great, as long as you take care of installing this cable where there would not be any possibility of someone tripping on the cable. I'm a video editor and I'm using this cable with a NVIDIA GTX 1650 D6 Ventus XS graphics card. This Pearstone Display Port cable, what I also like is that is very flexible. Some HDMI cables I have, they are very stiff, causing a bit of stress on the ports. A softer cable is always preferred for that matter. It does the job and I'm pleased.
