[SOLVED] RTX VR + HDMI Not Detected!

[rangafromtonga]

I recently got the Oculus Rift CV1 I think model, and I have been having trouble with getting the hdmi cable to be detected. I gathered some research and I believe with my new RTX 2070 Xtreme, I cannot use the HDMI port for VR, as I must get some sort of usb + hdmi to usb c dongle or something. Am I correct? If so are there any cheap but good ones I can get? I am in Australia. Cheers!

What outputs are currently in use on your graphics card?
Also please verify that this is your graphics card.

I am using Display port for my monitor and then the hdmi for the VR.

 

[Wolfshadw]

Can you confirm that is the card (linked above)?
If so, did you note the monitor connection instructions towards the bottom of that page?

Just wondering if this got resolved.
I installed the same card last night and having the same issue.

Heya bud, i did look over that.
I am using hdmi only (1 to hdtv other to rift) so would have assumed that using both ports in A2 should have been fine?

 

[Wolfshadw]

In theory, that should be fine. I would try disconnecting your HDTV just to see if you can get an image for your Rift. If you do, then I would try connecting the Rift to "A2" and the HDTV to "C" to see if that will work.

I tried the tv in another port but didn't seem to display but this was on the fly and didn't reboot.
Will try again this evening and see how I go.

Might need to get a usb-c to hdmi adaptor

 

[Zorn79]

In theory though, i could also use a Displayport to hdmi cable for my HDTV and HDMI for the rift.
Wonder if this may be a better all round option?

 

[Wolfshadw]

If I read the specs page correctly, yes. You could use a DisplayPort output from A1 and the HDMI from C. You just cannot use A1 and A2 simultaneously.

Surprising that I can't use the 2 hdmi ports in A2 simultaneously . But will have a play and report back for others

Based on the information on that page, it looks like an adapter shouldn't be necessary if everything is working correctly. The card should provide either 3 HDMI and 1 DP, or 3 DP and 1 HDMI depending on which cables are plugged in. They describe the feature a bit more about halfway down the page. It sounds like you may need to reboot the system for the active connections to get detected though.

 

[Zorn79]

tried that (although hastily) and didn't seem to help.
But will spend time tonight being ore thorough and not 100 mile an hour lol

Ok guys, first off, thank you for your help and keeping me sane.
Got it to work by putting my hdtv hdmi in c and rift in a2.

Will still get a usb-c adapter as have all of a sudden had a tracking issue, but should be an easy fix.
