Clicking through to the product page it claims that VRR/Gsync is not supported with that adapter unfortunately. It is also a USB-C to HDMI adapter, not a pure DP adapter. I think only the 20-series of Nvidia GPUs and maybe some of the 5000-series AMD GPUs have DP capable USB-C outputs. And apparently the M1/M2 Macs that the first article is about. CableMatters is a good brand so if anyone could do it it'd be them, but it appears it's not quite there yet. Maybe when DP 2.0 becomes more common on GPUs it'll be a solved issue.

> I think only the 20-series of Nvidia GPUs and maybe some of the 5000-series AMD GPUs have DP capable USB-C outputs. Based on my experience, this doesn't matter. I have a video card with no USB-C outputs. I go from full-sized DisplayPort to a female <-> female DisplayPort coupler, to this [0] bidirectional DP <-> USB-C cable, which plugs into my monitor. It works great and even does 4K 60FPS uncompressed HDR no problem. I see no reason why you'd be unable to then slap on a female <-> female USB-C coupler and then that USB-C -> HDMI adapter. (There's also no reason you couldn't cut out the first DP cable and coupler and plug the DP <-> USB-C cable directly into the video card. I just have very long (fiber-optic) DP cables that the second cable plugs into.) [0] https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=39240 https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=39240
