Issues with my screen

[delicate reef]

I am just really curious if it is just the cable or something in my settings

[unique rain]

If you switched the cable, and it can't do it, it's probably the cable

[delicate reef]

danggggggggggg, because I am 90% sure my pc only has 1 hmdi cable

I mean it has 2

but one of them just doesnt work for some reason

wait

[delicate reef]

is there a reason why one of my hdmi ports isn't working?

[unique rain]

HDMI port on the motherboard?

[delicate reef]

oh nah like seperate, (Sorry I am not very tech savy) but I've got 2 hmdi ports

[unique rain]

I meant you can only use the GPU ports

so you can't use the motherboard HDMI aswell

[delicate reef]

and well, I have a drawing tablet which also uses a hdmi port and I always had to switch

[unique rain]

Yeah

[delicate reef]

dang so is there no way of making it work?

[unique rain]

Are all the ports on the GPU being used?

[delicate reef]

because going back to 1080 is hard

I'll quickly send a photo

[delicate reef]

I am currently using the 2 on the left

Left being my drawing tablet and the monitor being the second one

[unique rain]

Why not use the display port options?

[delicate reef]

display port?

[unique rain]

Yes

[delicate reef]

Oh... whats that?

😭

[unique rain]

theres three display ports

one HDMI

[delicate reef]

oh I am using one of them

For my screen

or do you mean the tablet

[unique rain]

That would fix your issues if you don't use HDMI I would think

The tablet doesn't need DP

[delicate reef]

Sadly I can't use those for my tablet because they are both specifically hdmi

and the other cable that I am using now is for the second ones

that being for the screen that is

[unique rain]

I'm not sure then, display port allows for higher resolutions and refreshrate

[delicate reef]

as in the three? or the hdmi

[thorny venture]

Display port is better

[delicate reef]

display port being the one with the sign?

[thorny venture]

Yeah

[delicate reef]

because I started using one of the tree

and 2k and 4k aint evne popping up

And it was previously

[thorny venture]

Depends on what version the display port cable is

[delicate reef]

ahh.. I just have the one from cyberpower pc

So the port is called just "display port"?

[delicate reef]

oh how do i figure that out?

[thorny venture]

Tbh I wouldn't know 🤣

Maybe it'll say on the cable itself

[delicate reef]

Yeah I'll have a look 😭

[delicate reef]

sadly it doesnt

[unique rain]

this spec was so overbuilt

1440p @ 60 in 2006

[delicate reef]

I dont even have 1440p

best odds getting a new cable/

do you think this would be fine?

[delicate reef]

Do you think that'll do the trick?

[thorny venture]

Yeah DP 2.1 is very good

But I'm not 100% sure if it is the cable causing 2k/4k to not show?

[delicate reef]

hmm

what else could it be?

[thorny venture]

Not sure the cable is the only thing that makes sense for me 😅

It works when using HDMI?

[delicate reef]

mhm

[thorny venture]

Yeah I don't see what else it could be other than the DP cable not being the right version then

[delicate reef]

goooh figured it out

its in hdr

but how much is 1440p

again

[thorny venture]

How much?

[delicate reef]

2560? x 1440 right?

[thorny venture]

oh yeah

Thats weird my HDR doesn't get rid of my resolution and hertz

stays the same for me maybe my cable is really good

cant remember which one I bought lol

[delicate reef]

wait

I have a weird issue

my 2k looks slightly more crustier than usual

[thorny venture]

crustier?

[delicate reef]

like slightly more pixelated than I remember
