Hi all,

 

We have a pc from 2014 that's still doing a good job aside from the monitor just died and we put an SSD in it quite a while ago.

 

The graphics card on the PC is DVI and we want to output it to our old tv which has an hdmi input.

 

If I order this it should work?

Note: checked and saw DVI has no sound out but the PC does and we have speakers so should be ok sound wise.

 

Thanks!

Yip will work. Does your motherboard not have onboard hdmi? you could use that as it will have sound pass through, but obviously only if you dont need the GPU to rendering anything.

You may run into HDCP issues, something to be aware of.

What;s the actual graphics card?
some/most Nvidia will send audio over DVI to HDMI

 

Look for dual link DVI cables as well.

DVI transports video, the audio pins are there but were never used.
