  • Gigabyte GTX 1080 WINDFORCE OC 8G only POSTs on DVI link???

    I have a weird problem with my Gigabyte GeForceĀ® GTX 1080 WINDFORCE OC 8G. During startup POST/BIOS it only sends signal to its DVI port (it has 1 DVI, 1 DP, 3 HDMI).

    It doesn't matter which port is connected (dvi, dp or hdmi), the POST is always only on the DVI, even if only dp or only (1) hdmi is connected.

    Has anyone encountered this?

    Luckily I have a monitor that has all 4 connectors (dvi, dp, hdmi, vga, + usb hub), so I manually switch to dvi input for POST/BIOS, and then switch to DP for Windows, but this is very annoying.

    I did all the regular things, updated bios, drivers, re-seated the card, etc.

    I opened a support ticket with Gigabyte and all they could tell me is to RMA it. But I am in Canada, and the gigabyte support is in California, and CanadaPost is ripoff expensive. It is not worth the postage money to me, since Gigabyte wants me to send it at my own expense. Card is 7 months old, still on warranty, otherwise works great.

    Does this sound like a broken card, or am I missing something?

    thanks!
