Ultrawide LG 34UC98 & Msi GeForce 1660

[R34L15T]

Bit if background; Truth be told, i ended up purchasing the monitor without doing too much research before hand.

I previously had a GTX660 card, when i plugged that in via DVI to HDMI i didn’t get no where near a resolution that i wanted to achieve (3660x1440) - so i ended up yesterday dishing out £260 on a 1660 with the person who sold it to me told me it will work. 12 hours later and non stop trying, when i update the drivers of the monitor i get no signal!

The best ratio that i have got is 1920x1080 on it with the generic drivers of windows 10.

Where can my issue be?

I connect via Displayport.
I have a P5KC Board
I use a 8 pin adapter to IDE (750w power)

I am starting to loose it! Any help will be welcome!

Most likely the cable used isn't up to the job.

Secondly any power adapter for the gpu is asking for trouble.

I will give HDMI a go also and see if that has an issue.

Sorry! This has more detail. Can we remove the other one?

i have also done DDU in Safe Mode.
