Assuming you are using your 1080Ti's HDMI port for your monitor (and if it doesn't take DP directly), I would use a DP>HDMI adapter for the monitor and then use the HDMI port on Ti for your Rift. A lot of people do it that way I believe.

Hmm.. has the on-board graphics been enabled in your bios?

Rift won't work with anything plugged into the onboard graphic ports. Everything has to be plugged into your gfx card.

As said, get a displayport to HDMI adapter, use that for anything that isn't the Rift. If you get the right adapter it may also work with the Rift, but generally that setup is only recommended for the R9 295X2, which doesn't have any HDMI.

i use dual dvi to my monitor leaving the hdmi for the rift.

You can use a DVI to HDMI adapter if you need to for the Rift (works fine, tried it myself on both a 1070 and a 1080ti).

I went for displayport adapter since i have 3 on my graphics card , btw will it display 4k?

I managed to get it to work with by going into the bios and enabling the onboard video , on board connected to monitor , and VR connected to graphics card hdmi
,but this only would work with oculus home and not steam VR , played some Robo Recall with super sampling on high and wow im blown away

Couldn't tell you - I just used whichever one I pulled out of my box of spare bits and pieces that has accumulated over the years (and would have come with one of my past graphics cards). They all pretty much look like this.
