Constructed a fresh PC yesterday, keeping only new components except the GTX 1080 I retained from my previous setup until I locate a suitable replacement. Observed an unusual behavior with my monitor configuration that requires clarification. Brief note: this is within a Hyte enclosure, meaning the GPU sits in a riser—this could be the issue, though I haven’t verified it yet. Here’s the sequence of events: my GPU supports three DP connections, one HDMI port, and my motherboard has one of each. Under these settings, the system fails to boot: either DP in any single GPU port or DP with HDMI in the GPU slot. I’m certain the light controller won’t activate to switch lights, which is odd. I hope the board includes an LED indicator for error messages. Booting works under specific scenarios: HDMI alone on the GPU, HDMI alone on the motherboard, DP alone on the motherboard, DP alone on the motherboard with HDMI on the GPU, or DP on the GPU with HDMI on the motherboard. Also, when DP is active on the GPU, a post-screen shows up on the HDMI connected to the motherboard. I’m not sure if this matters, but I thought it might be useful. More info: the display port should connect to my main 1440p monitor, so it must stay on the GPU. HDMI is intended for a secondary 720p TV. I’d like to confirm this before upgrading the display later. My specs are a 13700k processor, Asus Z790-p Prime motherboard. I haven’t updated the BIOS yet; just received the board. Could be worth checking. I have 32GB DDR5 RAM and an 850W power supply. The boot drive is a 1TB 980 Pro. Operating system is Windows 11. Any guidance or suggestions for BIOS or Windows settings? Update: BIOS version is 0806; a newer 0809 is available but mentions memory compatibility. For now, I’ll skip that. Edited January 17, 2023 by D1xon_00
Looking for guidance on video output on your motherboard. Did you try resetting the BIOS settings?
Check if the 1080 model is compatible with the most recent vBios or firmware updates.
The CPU includes built-in graphics. I haven’t modified my BIOS, apart from turning on XMP support.
This concept seems promising. I’ll test it and let you know the results. It’s unclear why this would affect both displays on the GPU since it should switch to a fallback option. Also, if the HDMI cable is the sole connection on the GPU, it will still work, indicating a successful fallback.
I attempted the utility but it couldn't update the firmware. I received a warning from Windows Security initially, then turned off core isolation, yet it still didn't work after restarting. The NVidia control panel shows the video BIOS version as 86.04.17.00.51. Also worth noting, this GPU functioned properly on my old system—both monitors were connected to it—and that was a 4790k with a Gigabyte Z97-SLI revision 3 board.
Accessing BIOS can alter PCIE 3.0 settings. Check for any modifications.
It appears to be from a specific manufacturer and model. You may want to check the card's webpage for any updated information about the upgraded BIOS.
