Hiya all,

A quick question. I'm wanting to buy a mini displayport to displayport adapter and about the only things I seem to be able to find are ones for apple hardware which say they are thunderbolt compatible.

If I buy one, can I use it on my asus Z87 pc?

Cheers

Rory

Decided to buy one anyway and see what happens. Cost won't break the bank.

Sorry no replies Rory. Hope you got it sorted.

I'm not up to speed with the latest kit at the mo.

Will be building in a couple of months though.

No problem Martin, thanks anyway.  Was my own silly fault for managing to bend and break my present adapter! fortunately I had a spare but wanted a replacement for the spare.  My adapters came free with my last two gpu's.

Think I'll start visiting old Mutt's forum, seems a lot more active over there and I know you use it too.

Just to update you. The thunderbolt enabled adapter works fine on my system which doesn't have thunderbolt.
