Why doesn't my Rx 480 do no not want to show screen on my projector

Why doesn't my Rx 480 card do no not want to show screen on my projector when I plug it in my HDMI slot like the HD 5700 card?

Right click on your desktop in Windows and choose Display properties, make sure the projector is being detected as a monitor and being told to extend or mirror the screen.

It may be your projector isn't HDCP compliant, and because of that HDMI won't work because it won't let you use it to project movies or something, like running your own unauthorized movie theater.

I did that and picks up the projector but it shows on all the settings invalid format, only on the show only on 2 it said no signal

 

[dawiest]

Can't I put the HD 5700 in another PCI-E slot with the RX 480 on the same m/b and would it not clash withe each other's drivers being that the HD5700 drivers isnt the same than the RX480?

 

[James Mason]

No, they're both AMD/ATI cards, so same drivers.

You CAN have 2 GPUs in the system, and have the HD 5700 only run the projector (like to watch movies), but if you want the improved graphics processing power of the 480 you'll have to use whatever monitor that's hooked up to.

It could also be your projector is old, or needs to be setup right.

Might want to contact the projector company support for more info.

I tried it it doesn't work that way! you cant put in 2 different cards in but I found out on my old card the resolution must be 1280x1024 @ 60 hz witch the RX480 supports . But after I switched the system on the HD 5700 to that settings so it worked and I put back in the Rx 480 it just lasted a while for the projector to work before the system to reset to 1920x1080 and when I put it back to the projectors working settings, no response! I'm desperate someone with any knowledge or some help from someone might just do the trick please help?

Sounds like you are just using an invalid resolution or refresh rate for the projector. Turn off the project, hook it up to the video card, turn on the projector, look in the video options, change the projector to the correct resolution for it, make sure you have the windows set to split not cloned, see how that works.

Do you have the screen set to duplicate or extend? What projector do you have?

 

[dawiest]

It is a Swellpro Pico projector anyes i had it on all 4 settings but the only one it works on on the HD 5700 is show only on 2.

The resolution for the projector is 854X480, that is what you want to set the resolution to. Try it on that.

 

[James Mason]

It's possible you may have to add that as a Custom Resolution option as well in Catalyst Control Center, since it's a non-standard resolution.

Itested the analog output to my screen it works, now i have connected the HDMI to my tv. It picks up my tv in the display settings but the tv just give no signal. Its a fight you cant win

 

[James Mason]

If the resolution the computer is trying to send is one the display doesn't support it will black screen.

 

[dawiest]

It gives me a blue screen with a message NO SIGNAL and I tested all the resolutions.

 

[James Mason]

Is the TV on the right input? If it's trying to read a signal on another input and there's nothing there it will say no signal.

 

[dawiest]

It is in the same input than my HD 5700

 

[James Mason]

Maybe.... It's the HDMI cable.

 

[dawiest]

its the 3rd one

 

[dawiest]

t was a defective card I exchanged it and there are no problems on my flat screen! I think the projectors cable has gone but I ordered a new one and will soon update you my friends.

 

[dawiest]

The projectors cable has gone and the graphics card is to modern to be compatible with it! It still works on my HD5700
