Hello folks,
My setup:
Ryzen 9 5900X
Gainward Phoenix RTX 3080 Ti
display-1: 4K@160Hz (MSI MPG 274U)
display-2: 2k@165Hz (Dell S2721DGF)
Issue:
I would like to use the 4K display as primary and the 2K one as secondary (portrait).
PC is not able POST with just he 4K display connected.
I can see that "something" is happening because the display is turning on, but then I get a "no signal" warning and it goes back to standby.
I've managed to get it to POST by connecting the 2K display to a specific DP port (1st one after HDMI port) and ONLY that port. 2K display is initialized, PC boots, and only after the OS is loaded, do i get a signal for the 4K display.
Now, this will not be so terrible (except for the fact that if I want to use the BIOS, I have to turn my head 90 degrees), but during normal operation 4K display is randomly getting black/no signal for like 2-3 seconds and then gets an image again.
And to make matters worse, if the PC goes into stand by or suspend (or I manually turn off the displays), then i won't get a signal no matter what I try. Only solution is to hit the reset button on the PC and boot again into OS.
What I've tried so far:
Multiple DP cables, uncluding the one that shipped with the monitor, in various combination of DP ports.
I've updated the firmware on the display to latest available.
I've updated the firmware on GPU via NVIDIA Graphics Firmware Update Tool.
I've installed the latest drives available from Nvidia.
What I'm thinking to try next:
Order 2 DP 1.4 cables and try with those.
Flash a new VBIOS on my GPU, if I can find one. Gainward haven't published anything on their support page for my specific model card.
I've read arund the internet that this seems to be a common issue with nvidia's 30/40/50 series when using high resolution or high refresh rate displays over DP ports.
If any of you has any suggestion on what I might try, pleas DO tell, because this is driving me nuts.
Thanks!
