Hello everyone I have just bought a GTX 1080 and installed it today (note its a used one I bought it off someone). Here is where things get weird...
When I installed the card, i plugged in my display port, cool everything was fine... I got a picture no problems. As I loaded up the PC I noticed my 240hz display was only showing 60hz so I tried to go into my GeForce Experience where I brought to a message saying I do not have a nvidia Graphics card connected. I thought no problem a restart should do the trick. So i restarted the computer and to my suprise I could not get a picture to come through the display port. As soon as I plug in my hdmi tho, everything is fine. Thats how I am even able to type this up right now.
Things I have tried
-Display port firmware update
-Nvidia driver updates
-Unplugging monitors power waiting 5 mins replug try again (multiple times)
-I took out the card and put it back in
-I was going to try DDU but I dont know my windows key stuff so I am afraid to do that.
While doing research on the card (ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 Mini) I saw that the connections of the ports explains that the ports are DisplayPorts 1.4. I am not too sure what version of the display port I have as it came with my monitor. Note it worked on 1070 fine... So thats about the final straw i could think up of is buying a 1.4 display port and hope it works. Im guessing this is more than a software issue and is a hardware issue..
I just can't understand why it "sorta" worked on my very first initial boot. Please help I am stuck and exhausted
