Question Dual monitor issue for new RTX 2080

[failedtolisten]

My 980 Ti does not have these issues, just so we're clear on that. It's just the new RTX 2080 I purchased.

In a nutshell, my Gsync 1080p Asus Rog works fine, but my old Dell UltraSharp U2312HM is playing hardball. When I restart or turn the computer off, the Dell goes into 640x480 and I can't adjust the resolution in Windows settings or NVIDIA control panel. The options are just greyed out. The problem is solved when I unplug the display port cable from the back of the card, and then put it back in. This is obviously a slight inconvenience and not something I want to do every time this happens. Any ideas on this? I'm assuming it has something to do with the fact the the Dell is old and it's just struggling to recognize it in some way? I thought Display port was display port and resolution was resolution. I wouldn't think age would be the cause.

It might be some wierd incompatibilty with the monitor. My friend has a 2080Ti and an old dell monitor that only has HDMI and whenever he opens a fullscreen game or app the monitor loses signal.

Yeah. Maybe it is the age thing. That really sucks. It's either deal with the slight inconvenience, or buy a new model on the cheap. I'll just unplug and replug for now. Spending $200-$300 for this minor inconvenience seems a little much. lol

makes sence, I still use a dell monitor from 2006 that only has VGA still for my monitor upstairs. I just don't feel like buying another.
