Shadowtroop Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 Hi all, Its been a while since i upgraded my rig. But i finally decided t go to the Green team, i bought myself a GTX680 over black friday and i love the card. But i do have one issue, i have my card hooked up to a monitor as well as a TV. and this was never an issue with my ATI cards but if i dont have the TV on when i turn the system on it will not be recognized. or if i changed the channel to something else and then came back to PC it would not recognize it anymore. does anyone know of a way to make it work in a similar fashion as my ATI card?

My_Inner_Fred Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 What are the connection types? DVI? or HDMI? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowtroop Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 I have both on DVI at the moment. the TV is a HDMI to DVI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 Are you changing the TV mode to see the computer with your connection? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowtroop Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 Are you changing the TV mode to see the computer with your connection? not sure what you mean, do you mean changing the input to the Computers channel? if so then yes, lets say i were to turn on the TV before starting up the computer, it works just fine, the issue is when changing the channel to, say my PS3 and then going back to PC, it just sees a "generic monitor" and i either have to restart the computer or disconnect and reconnect the connection manually to get it to work again.

My_Inner_Fred Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 What capitan was trying to say I believe was what was the TV's settings for the connection between it and your computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowtroop Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 im not sure what that means, is this a setting in the computer itself, or nvidias drivers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 I think they're asking if you have anything set up on the TV out of the norm for it to connect. I don't think that's the issue - the issue is that your TV is being "unrecognized" by your GPU driver even though you're just changing inputs. Normally it should return to the last used settings...at least that's how ATI cards handle it (which is the problem it seems).

rmb938 Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Thats odd. I have a TV and montor plugged into my nvidia card and changing the input on the tv doesn't change anything on the computer it self. But if the TV isn't turned on when the PC boots it does not get reconzied until I turn it on which makes sense. From what I see on my card and your issue it could be just the TV doing that. Like it "disconnects" the hdmi input when ever your switch modes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowtroop Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 If that is the case, why did it work flawlessly on my ATI card? like i would power on, and 2 minutes after i am into the desktop it still set to dual monitors, because i would have a few missing icons and such. turning the TV was fairly easy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeSoprano Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Could it be that your new card is putting out a higher resolution than your tv can handle, I know when I hook up to my tv I have to adjust the res on the tv. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
