[SOLVED] 2nd monitor not detected with RTX 2080Ti

[Mad-Bull9536]

I have one Gsync monitor set up with Displayport and a 2nd with HDMI. I cannot get Nvidia control panel nor windows to detect the HDMI monitor when both are plugged into the GPU. When I have both plugged in the HDMI one is only detected and the Displayport is not Detected in windows or Nvidia control panel. The only way I can have both monitors workjing is by having display port plugged into my GPU and HDMI into my motherboard, but with this the HDMI does not show up in nvidia control panel.

what 2080 ti do you have? Some cards have 2 DP and 2 HDMI while others have 3DP and 1 HDMI

Have you tried moving the cables to different ports on the card.

I have the Gigabyte Waterforce 2080ti, and I have tried numerous configurations with all the display ports and HDMI ports

so looking at the manual, your HDMI needs to be in A2 section and the DP has to be in port B. If a HDMI is plugged into ether of the A2 ports none of the A1 ports will work, and if a DP is plugged into ether of the A1 ports A2 ports wont work.

So you can run 3 HDMI A2+C and then DP B
Or 3 DP A1+B and 1 HDMI port C

If you change a cable from A1 to A2 or A2 to A1 you have to reboot the computer for the switch to be made on the GPU.

Yeah, that was the exact issue. I'm glad the solution was so simple. Thanks so much!
