Hello,
I recently upgraded my GPU to a RX 5700 XT. Before that I connected my monitor (Asus VG248QE) via DVI to my GPU, but as the RX 5700 XT has no DVI slot anymore I had to use a DisplayPort cable.
I was using a 90cm DisplayPort cable I bought from Amazon just fine, but the cable was a bit short so I bought a 2m long "Syncwire DisplayPort cable". Unfortunately that cable did not work, as my monitor showed me the "DisplayPort: NO SIGNAL" message whenever I switched it on. I was thinking that maybe I just got a bad cable, so I bought another one: the "belkin DisplayPort cable", which didn't work either.
I can use the 90cm cable just fine and connecting the monitor via HDMI works fine as well, but I can't get the longer cables to work for some strange reason...
I tried completely unplugging the monitor for 5 minutes, as this was a solution for some people, but it did not work for me. There was still the "DisplayPort: NO SIGNAL" message on a black screen, while I could hear Windows booting up on my headphones. I also tried using different DisplayPort slots on the GPU, but that did not solve it either. I have the newest GPU drivers installed.
I have no tool to test the cables and unfortunately I got no other PCs or monitors using the DisplayPort-standard in house.
Is there anything else I could try apart from buying more cables? Is there a possible solution to my problem? How come some cables work and others don't? Are there differences?
Best regards
