I just got my DVI-D cable and it seems it cant display anything. I am using a iGPU for now as my graphics card is coming soon. The monitor detected something but there is no output, it is just in sleep mode. But the monitors (the current and the test) can detect current my current VGA cable. Is my drivers bad or the cable is bad?

I don't suppose that you have a DVI-VGA adapter sitting around so you can use the VGA cable. And the cable is DVI-D not DVI-I. I know all basic stuff, but it is unlikely that the cable is bad, at least I've never seen or known anyone with one.

Fortunately, your GPU is on the way.

Yes, I confirmed it is DVI-D, not DVI-I, on both ends . My motherboard has the same DVI port as my monitor. Idk why it doesn't work though. There are not bent pins on either and I already used contact cleaner to ensure no debris is blocking.
