[SOLVED] I can't connect my gpu to the monitor, it goes into power saving mode ?

[AntoBazaTh4]

I have a zotac rtx 2060 and I just plugged it in to the pc, the fans spin but the monitor goes into power saving mode. I use an hdmi to displayport adapter.

Cable: Myria display port cable AWM STYLE 20276 80C 30V VW-1
Monitor: Lenovo thinkvision 1680x1050 l2250p 22inch

I connect the hdmi to the monitor and the displayport to the gpu but it keeps saying power saving mode.
Note that I just upgraded to this gpu, my old one was a gt 730 and that worked but I used a VGA cable with that.

Build:
I5 9400f
B365 pro4
Seasonic s12II 620 bronze 80+
16gb ram 3000mhz
Zotac rtx 2060
The build is like 1 year old expect the gpu which was bought today

If the GPU listed in your specs was bought brand new, what GPU were you working with prior? As for your motherboard, what BIOS version are you currently on? Are you using any adapters between the panel and the GPU's output? The monitor you're working with only has two display inputs, one being VGA and the other being DVI-D.

Looking at the PSU and the build components, I'm skeptical about that build is 1 year old, more like 3.

The 2060 is new and It replaces my old gt 730.
I used a vga cable for the gt 730 and the monitor and it worked fine.
I replaced the gpu with the 2060 and I used a displayport to hdmi adapter. I connected the displayport to the monitor and the hdmi to the gpu but it keeps saying power saving mode.

If your GPU has a Display Port output and your monitor has a Display port input, why aren't you working with a DP cable?
