[SOLVED] Cant get 1920 x 1080 resolution

[yanna1]

Hi,

I am having a strange issue getting 1920 x 1080 resolution on my pc.

I recently got an new motherboard after the old one became faulty. I put everything back together and connected my gpu(1660 super) to my monitor(AOC G2260VWQ6 21.5) using a display port cable as I always do.

I get a display but it’s not 1920 x 1080. When I right click on the desktop and go to display settings, under resolution there are options for different ones but not 1920 x 1080.

I don’t understand what’s changed. I can use my HDMI cable and I get 1920 x 1080 but not with my display port cable.

I’m going to take the cable into work tomorrow and try it. Maybe the cable is faulty now.

Has anyone ever had a problem like this?

I worried if it’s not the cable then maybe the display port on the back of the GPU. It’s only a couple months old.

Thank you

Yes I have and it was resolved with a replacement cable.

When you speak of a new motherboard, did you reinstall all your drivers(after you reinstalled your OS) in this order:

1. Motherboard Chipset
2. USB and third party controllers
3. Management Engine Interface (Intel)
4. Audio
5. Networking adapter (Wired and/or Wireless)
6. Graphics card (onboard or dedicated)
7. Storage (native and/or third party)
8. Keyboard and/or mouse
9. Gamepads and game controllers
10. Displays and/or monitors

With all drivers installed in an elevated command, i.e Right click installer>Run as Administrator?

Yes I installed the drivers with exception of 7,8 and 9. 8 and 9 just worked from the off and didn't realise I needed drivers for 7.

I thought as much as the cable but just thought i would ask anyways.

Will try it out tomorrow. Not having much luck at the moment with things just seeming to stop working for no reason.

Thanks

Its not the cable. Tried it at work and it seems fine. Will try at home once more but I suspect the graphics card port now.

Tried the cable at home again and it worked. However I put the pc to sleep and when i woke it i got no display. I have ordered a new display port cable and will try that.
