Yes, your adapter cant handle the pixel load. It is for HDTV 1080p, which isnt enough to power the two displays in your Rift. Y2K and i use a 4K adapter.

Interesting, I just happen to have a 4k/2k adaptor laying around, let me give it a whirl too.
Let us know, what your results are
I knew of this effect with TV sets and HDMI and how to get around it... But i was blind enough, not to think of it, when using a Rift... Its no magic, but it works like a charm.
I actually tried the original setup first and then used the adapter. The direct comparison is a true eye-opener. Even without, the difference will be so obvious, that it is instantly noticible.

Thats how it was for me, i left my ship in a high res site and as soon as the cockpit loaded and i looked out the difference was instantly noticeable, then an Anaconda fly past me and i looked up and saw more detail than ever before. Really does make a big difference, i think oculus should have made it display port native instead of hdmi - wonder why that is :/
U wont be disappointed with the 1080 its a hell of a card. Try the rift using hdmi first, then swap to display port.
So I just tried it, honestly don't see much of a difference at all. I will do some more comparisons, but so far its about the same.
Edit: I tried it again, switched to HDMI, loaded game, checked out blacks/smearing/etc, then switched to DP to HDMI adapter and did the same, went to same places, etc. I can't see a difference at all.
This is the adapter I have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Y1DDNN8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Interesting.. what gfx card do you have? im wondering if its an nvidia or recent build thing. I do see a difference in adapters, the one im using specifically says Display Port 1.2 < yours doesnt. Cant see any specs either.

The improvement is global, not only in Elite.
I use an NVidia GTX 970 and a slightly different adapter, but with the same tech specs as the adapter Y2K has mentioned.
Im pretty sure the adapter has to be not only DP-hdmi but DP 1.2-hdmi. Interestingly, my 1080 has DP 1.4 so im now looking for a DP1.4-hdmi adapter.

Theres a nice readup on display port features and the difference between DP and DP1.2. .... now to get that DP1.4-hdmi adapter and see what improvements if any that brings ^_^

Yeah, the old lossy vs lossless image compression thing, but this was so obvious in this case... Going from 80% dirty and smeared grey to solid black is nothing one can miss... I mean looking at a planet and seeing a washed out sphere with a brighter edge or looking at a sharp bright skythe and deep black is not only sharper or more saturated. Its a different picture. Must be noticible by everyone.
