HDMI not working with RX 580 & AOC e2352PHz

[r2j2612]

I posted earlier regarding this. Thanks to people who helped out. I was able to get the GPU working with my new RX 580.

I recently upgraded my system. My currents specs are: Ryzen 5 1600, Gigabyte GA-AB350 Gaming 3.0, 16GB Gskill & the RX 580.

The issue is now when I plug in my GPU to my monitor with an HDMI, games refuse to run. At all. Crashes right at splash screen. But when I plug in my DVI, every game runs just fine.

Should I consider this a sign that the HDMI cable is faulty and order a new cable? I seem to have misplaced the original HDMI cable that came with my monitor. Is that causing any compatibility issue since I am using an aftermarket cable?

Should I order from amazon and keep on replacing items until I find the correct cable that sorts this issue out? Or should I just forget about HDMI and keep on running on DVI?

Thanks for your advise in advance.

Personally, I would just keep running with the DVI port if there are no issues with it. Working out the HDMI would just be a big headache when something that does the exact same thing as the HDMI, works perfectly.

You could try the a new cable, but why worry about it if DVI works perfectly fine. I'd rock the DVI.

Any downsides to using a DVI over an HDMI? Or its just the same?

The HDMI cable you are using might only be Standard HDMI which is upto 1080i(720p), and not high-speed. You'd need at least a high-speed HDMI cable for resolutions 1080p+

Does your graphics card have a display port? If so, you could try buying a DP cable to use with it, although you might need a DP to HDMI adapter for the other end, if your monitor doesn't have DP.

I'd make sure to buy a high-speed HDMI cable first and try that.

Thanks. Will give this a try.
