Hey guys,
I've recently bought an ASUS BE249QLB monitor and when I connect it to my MSI GTX970 via display port, it just indicates that there is no signal, even though I've set connection type on my monitor to DP. I found an old VGA cable with a DVI adapter and it worked without any issue - the monitor automatically switched to a VGA connection and started working as intended. Do you have any idea why DP may not provide any signal? I'm using the DP cable provided with the monitor. This is also my single monitor (no other monitors connected).
Things I've tried:
I've also read that it may be possible to fix this by connecting the monitor via HDMI and DP, then tweaking priority settings, but unfortunately I don't have an HDMI cable right now, so I decided to ask here for other possible solutions before buying one.
Please help!

Things I've tried:
- Installing latest GPU drivers
- Plugging power cable off and on (I've read that sometimes this is an issue)
- Choosing DP connection on my monitor.
- Checked forums for the solution and found plenty of complains related to DP and GTX970, but they were mostly 2014/early 2015 and related to an older BIOS version and/or GPU drivers. My versions seems to be newer.
