I believe it will. Says it supports up to 4K.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, the cable and any passive (non powered) adapters only work for converting display port signal to hdmi. To go from HDMI to DP requires an active transcoder; and even with one of these your DP signal will be of identical quality to it's HDMI source.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Very unlikely. Even the active HDMI to DP or miniDP adpters will have limitations, and in many cases may result in artifacts at high refresh rates (anything beyond 60Hz). HDMI 2.0 will carry high refresh rates but I would suggest not using adapters.
