I have a TUF Gaming monitor, andbibwas curious if there was a way to make it power up on Displayport? It starts on hdmi-1, and I have to switch over everytime my PC boots up. Nothing bad I happening technical wise. Just wanted to see if it was possible.
 
Solution
Just need the one cable, Displayport preferably as this cable allows you to use Adaptive-Sync (Freesync) with Nvidia cards which Hdmi doesn't support. Usually manufactures include only one cable. I suppose Asus felt generous if both cables were included in the box. For dual monitors, you'll need another monitor, and then use the Hdmi cable :)

So disconnect the Hdmi cable and enable Adaptive-Sync in the monitor OSD and Gsync should be available in NvidiaCP if not already. Afaik, Adaptive-Sync on Nvidia cards is still limited to Displayport.
And check if monitor has auto switching in the osd monitor menu. It should and should be enabled by default i would have thought.

There's only the Displayport cable connected yeah? Not using Hdmi for another device like a console?
 
Sorry for the late replies!

Which TUF display do you have? Also, what is the make and model of your GPU. You might want to see if you have a BIOS update pending for your motherboard/laptop and lastly, see if reinstalling your GPU drivers changes the issue of reconnecting to get DP input.

VG27BQ, and 2080 RTX Super

And check if monitor has auto switching in the osd monitor menu. It should and should be enabled by default i would have thought.

I have one HDMI cable connected to the GPU along with the displayport cable. I do think it has autoswitching because It goes from HDMI-1 to Displayport on startup. Also it makes that noise when its detecting a new device everytime it does it.
 
How come ya got two cables connected to the same monitor?

Does the problem go away if use only DP?

To be honest, it came with it and I assumed they both connect to it. I believe it gives me an option to dual monitor. Though I think it'd still cycle through the displays? I did try looking through the options on my monitors side buttons and couldn't find anything.
