I also don’t get it… Just 1 DP port is sufficient for me… And before people are saying… just use a DP to HDMI adapter… Well, I tried… And it doesn’t work either for some reason… I still can not get 4k 120Hz. (yes my TV supports that, yes… I also tried “gaming mode” on my TV)
Uh… I bought this product (see link below) , but now I’m confused if this is an active or a passive adapter. Which adapter do I need for this… A passive or active adapter to get DP++ working?
I don’t have any experience with it. But from what I know it’s supposed to only be on your output device and not on your TV. So you just need to check the specs of your graphics card to see if you can use a passive adapter. If it does not support it you should be able to use an active adapter. DP++ is simply a feature to have a DP output port send HDMI signals instead. An active adapter would convert DP into HDMI regardless of what your graphics card supports.
Both the cables you posted seem to be passive ones. The active ones will almost always advertise that they are active ones. I can’t vouch for the reliability or quality though. Never tried them.

An adapter such as that requires DisplayPort Dual-Mode (DP++).

This was the product I bought in the past: https://www.amazon.nl/dp/B0B2ZF95KC (the site doesn’t say anything about passive or active)
ps. I also hope my videocard and TV supports DP++ then.
EDIT: I also see DP1.4 to HDMI 2.1 cables (so without the need of an adapter). Is that also maybe a solution? Like this: https://www.amazon.nl/PremiumCord-DisplayPort-kabel-mannelijk-stekker-resolutie/dp/B0FKMNB65S
