So, for a long time I've had to switch cables to get into the bios, because the HDMI port on my GPU (RTX3080) just doesn't get detected by the monitor (Neo G7) until it gets to the desktop and loads the proper Nvidia driver.
Today I partly found a solution, which was to switch my monitor from HDMI v2.1 down to v1.4, and then I can see the boot screen, change the boot order, and get into the bios, etc.
But it is still a hack and I'm wondering if anyone has a proper solution to this?
I see very few people talking about this problem so I'm wondering if it's a configuration problem with my GPU that I may be able to fix. I mean there must be a lot of people out there with modern GPUs and monitors, and I assume they all don't have the same problem.
To the best of my understanding the GPU is sending a strange or a low resolution (or framerate/colour space?) to the monitor during boot time, and the HDMI v2.1 on the monitor doesn't know what to do with it. But when the monitor is in HDMI v1.4 mode it seems to be compatible.
Anyone know how to fix this so that I can get have a display on my monitor at boot in v2.1 mode?
A setting in NCP?
Edit the GPU firmware?
Edit:
Solved after enabling CSM Support in the bios.
