I am a dumbass who didn't remove my MSI GEforce RTX 3090 graphics card from my computer when I moved and now after trying it out the DP ports all produce extremely blurry output. I thought it was broken completely until I tried the HDMI port and it works just fine. Most of the time I can see the loading and bios screens clearly (i don't think that can be the CPU display since I have an F series), it's only when Windows boots up that things get blurry.
Once or twice I was even able to see the Windows output clearly for moments before it corrupted and went blurry again. To complicate matters, I was already having far more minor blurry output issues on one of the monitors before my move. It would come from the bottom of the screen any time I first booted up or came back from being idle, but went away fairly quickly.
I read it's a common issue with my VIOTEK GN32Q monitors. So for all I know this is more about them than it is about my graphics card. But it still doesn't really make sense for the issue to escalate to this extent and on both monitors at once, which makes me think it's something with the graphics card. Maybe I bent something in it when I moved it, but then why would only the display drivers stop working? Is it possible the card isn't receiving enough power now like perhaps a cable got loose? But then same question why would the HDMI port still work?
I can't figure out how to attach a picture here but I linked to what the output looks like on imgur below.

Things I have already tried that didn't help:
Reseating the card on the mobo (ASUS TUF Gaming Z590)
Tested different display ports with different cables
Updated my graphics card drivers
Lowered the refresh rate on my monitors which it seems can't be done, the only options are 59 which they are on, or 60
I do like to game and the card only has one HDMI port for my multiple monitors so I would definitely like to fix this issue if I can. What further steps would you suggest I take?
Thanks a lot!
