Heyya folks,
I’m having a weird issue with my setup and could use some advice.
My setup:
GPU: Inno3D RTX 3080 (4-fan model, 3x DP + 1x HDMI)
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600
Mobo: Gigabyte A320m
Power supply: Cooler Master 750w.
Monitors:
Main: 1080p monitor via HDMI
Secondary: Old 4:3 VGA monitor (1400×1050) connected through DP to VGA adapter
TV: Samsung 55" QLED 4K (Game Mode enabled, auto-triggers when PC is connected)
Cables: Regular HDMI for main monitor, long HDMI cable for TV (swapped manually when I want to game on the TV)
What happens:
1. Usually, when I connect a long HDMI to my TV (due to my setup being far from the TV -10 mtrs), it says “Found source: PC, setting up display” with a loading animation, and it worked fine even in "Game mode".
2. Yesterday, when I tried, the screen stayed blank in Game Mode. If I switched the TV to Normal Mode, the picture came back.
3. In Normal Mode, the In-Game resolution was stuck to my old VGA monitor’s 1400×1050 max.
4. I set the TV as the only display in Windows, resolution options unlocked up to 4K.
5. I chose 2K (1440p), hit apply, TV went black again, both displays lost signal, and I had to restart the PC to get the Video output again.
Now, every time I try a higher res on the TV, it either blanks out or locks to the VGA monitor’s resolution.
What I’ve tried so far:
Switched TV Game Mode on/off, works only in Normal Mode, but resolution is weird.
Rebooted with TV as sole display , resolutions unlock, but changing them causes black screen.
Swapped back to my main HDMI monitor, works fine, so GPU is alive.
It's a weird issue, dunno what's causing this it can either be my GPU/GPU driver(Which I recently updated) or it might be the TV itself or even the cable
Any help, would be appreciated. Thanks.
