Hello, I purchased an Asus ROG X570 Crosshair VIII Hero motherboard for my brother as a gift. During the final assembly, I noticed it lacked HDMI and DISPLAYPORT ports, which made things tricky. I looked for ways to connect the PC to a monitor using an USB C to HDMI cable or a USB 3.0 to HDMI adapter, but I’m unsure if these options would work. Right now, I don’t have funds for a graphics card, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time, and sorry for the unclear English. Here are the links I was checking:

If you have any other ideas, let me know!

What processor are you running? And does your device include a graphics card?

If it has an iGPU, you can use the USB-C ports marked with a DP logo for Displayport. The same ports should also work with a USB-C to HDMI dongle. If it does not have an iGPU, then you will not be able to use the usb-c ports for display output, period. The manual does not indicate if it's possible or not.

Using display outputs on the motherboard ensures proper connectivity and functionality for your screen devices.

Your X570 board uses a Ryzen CPU without built-in video, unless it's a 3200G/3400G model. The USB-C connection on the motherboard isn't functioning as an output.

He has a Ryzen 5 3600X, so a budget graphics card is ideal right now. For future use with games like Forbidden West and Overwatch on a 1080p screen, consider a mid-range option such as the RTX 3050 or RX 6500 XT.
