- Custom PC running Windows 8.1 Pro
- GTX980 with most up to date drivers
- Using 2 displayports on the 980, one for each monitor, Res 1920x1080
Everything has been fine until I changed the monitors to displayport 1.2, and then on a boot I experienced the power save problem with displayports.
I did the power cycle trick and managed to change them back to 1.1 as I'm not daisychaining them and everything was fine again, until today and once again I experienced it. Power cycled a few times and bang they come on. I would dual DVI them but the great minds of Dell decided not to stick that port in.
Funny thing is they supply the displayport cable yet this seems to be a major problem with dell monitors.
EDIT: I've now disabled DDC/CI as someone else mentioned that might help.
EDIT2: Could I simply purchase a couple of HDMI to miniDP cables and simply take the HDMI from the Dell and run it to the miniDP on the GTX980?
