  Hi, 

  I just bought the Thunderbolt 4 KVM switch.  I am trying to set up a laptop and a desktop computer.  The laptop works however I am having difficulty getting my desktop to work. 

  I have a Gigabyte MB and Nvidia GTX 4070 GPU in the desktop.  Can I use a Displayport to USB C to connect the desktop to the KWM switch?  

  Do I need to buy a Thunderbolt add-in card to connect it?

  Thanks

  @Charles D DisplayPort to USB-C requires DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) support and the correct cable, such as a bidirectional. A Thunderbolt AIC would be needed for switch features.
