Hello everyone. I thought for sure I'd posted in here before but I guess I hadn't...
Anyways, I'm coming here due to the recent experimental firmware on the RetroTINK 5X Pro scaler by Mike Chi, which allows 720p content to be scaled up to 2560x1440p. I have (and love) my FW900 here, and using a GTX 980 Ti, I am readily able to output that resolution with my PC over native VGA, but the RetroTINK only outputs HDMI, so I am trying to find an HDMI -> VGA converter that will allow this. I've seen all of the usual suspects before as far as DP -> VGA, but not HDMI like the TINK uses. Ideally this would be only for primarily 720p native-focused game consoles such as the Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii U, but in theory would be useful should I pick up an Xbox Series X that natively supports 1440p (or a PS5 if Sony were to be so kind), so 60hz is all that's necessary. I see this is about a 312.455 pixel clock, though I'm a complete amateur at this stuff compared to you guys so I could have gotten that wrong. I've seen some Delock and Sunix DP adapters posted here as high as 375, so I imagine this is at least in the realm of possibility?
If no such adapter exists, would it be possible to get an HDMI -> DP converter, and then use one of the aforementioned DP -> VGA units in a sequence? I'm not sure how this would affect input latency, but I would think, perhaps naively, that an HDMI -> DP converter and a DP -> VGA converter that are both held in positive regard for their performance would still work well in tandem... Either way, I figured you guys were probably the best people around to ask.
