So I recently got a new graphics card that only has 1 HDMI port, 1 C port and 2 Displayports but I have a Huion screen tablet and a monitor that both require HDMI ports. I tried buying a Displayport to HDMI cable to replace the monitor's HDMI cable but the resolution was stuck at 640 with no way of changing it. The main issue is my monitor only has two HDMI and 1 VGA ports, no Displayports at all. I'm not a super tech savy person but from what I understand is that there's a difference between HDMI to Displayport and Displayport to HDMI? I don't know what my best solutions are other than going to my old graphics card or buying a new monitor.

Would any of these options below be better choices?

Option 1

Option 2

Option 3

Any suggestions or advice would be very much appreciated.
