Hi,
I have just got an extremely good deal on an acer xb27hu. However this monitor only comes with a display port input. I have a temporary graphics card at the moment until pascal is released.(Asus 650ti) this only has dvi or hdmi output. I understand I need an active adapter, however the ones I am finding are dp to hdmi, like the link below

However I guess I can't plug that into the monitor then run a hdmi cable to the pc?
Is there no choice but something like below?

My other thought was USB type c to dp? Would this work for a main monitor?
This is meant to be just a temporary solution so I can sell my current monitor to help fund the pascal card.
Thanks in advance
