Full pc spec please. Is the monitor plugged into the gpu and not the motherboard? Have you installed gpu and motherboard drivers?

Mentions the power plan in Nvidia's control panel. See if that has an effect on the clock speeds.

I have plugged the hdmi cord unit the motherboard yes, could that be the problem, and my specs are MSI GTX 1080 Asus prime z370-a ll i7 8700k and 8gb ram

Well you shouldn't be plugging the HDMI cord into the motherboard plug it into your graphic card that's the problem you're facing.

Yeah, your only using cpu integrated graphics via the motherboard. Plug the monitor into the gpu.

Yeah I kept searching how to use my gpu over the Microsoft basic default adapter ir what ever.

You do not need an adapter just connect the cord from your monitor to the back of your graphic card.

That sounds like you haven't installed the drivers for the graphics card.

Plug your monitor to the 1080 then download geforce experience from here : https://www.geforce.com/geforce-experience/download
then when you have done downloading and setup it open it and download you card driver

Update windows as far as you can go, then install the drivers from nvidia.com

It wont let you install the latest drivers until you update windows.
