Your graphics card spits out DisplayPort. Your 4K panel wants HDMI. A passive adapter drops the signal and you're back to square one.
The ATEN VC986B is an active adapter. It carries its own conversion chip, so the signal stays stable even when your source doesn't support Dual-Mode DisplayPort (DP++). You get True 4K output with full audio pass-through.
Running a multi-monitor wall? It's AMD Eyefinity ready, so you can chain displays without hunting for extra adapters.
No drivers. No software. Plug in, power on, display lights up at the resolution it should be at.
