Just finished my build with a ryzen 5 3600 and ASRock b4500 steel legend. So the computer will only boot if I have the hdmi cable plugged in to my ryx 2060 super but not when I have the display port connected. I need to be connected to the display port to take advantage of my gaming monitor. It?™s real annoying to have to switch the computer back and forth from hdmi to display port. I would like to just boot off the display port and be done with it. Has anyone else had this issue and know of a fix? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!
!

Oh and no it will not even boot to windows (at least I don?™t think it does) if the display port is plugged in.

could be as simple as a cheap display port cable that doesn't quite meet the DP standards to be detected properly during boot up

I have tried several cables all with the same results. So I am sure it is not the cables as these cables work on my 4K and ultra wide monitor paired with my 2080ti on my other build.

a pain in the buttocks .. but could you try your 2080ti in replace of the 2060 and see if it boots fine?

..and does your monitor that is plugged into your 2060 boot fine with the 2080ti setup?
