Do they support VRR though? Last I heard that was still an issue with these converters.

Yes, some of them do but it can be dependent on the firmware (some of them are flashable). I will add that my display supports both Freesync over HDMI and VRR, and it’s not always clear which it is actually using under the hood, so be aware of that. You’ll need a pretty recent kernel. Definitely at least 6.3 but prefer 6.6 or later.

My experience is the adapters have much better support under Linux as well, with them being almost useless on Windows (no HDR, no VRR, and potentially no 120Hz). But it’s been a while since I’ve tested.

Here’s the adapter I use: www.amazon.com/…/B08XFSLWQF/

And a long discussion thread about HDMI 2.1 and adapters used to workaround the issue: gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1417which may be helpful if you run into issues.
