    I thought some of ye fellow VR fans may be of help here.

    I recently purchased a new Asus Rog Swift pg279Q Monitor.

    I currently am using two monitors, replacing an older Dell one.

    With my old setup a HMDI converter cable (HDMi to DVI) port into 1080ti, worked fine.

    But not with my current setup. The HDMI vive cable has to take the only HDMI slot and i get compositor errors with SteamVR if I dont configure it this way. Leaving my new screen with blurry text in the DVI output and lower resolution.


    Anyone ever come across this before. Been checking reddit and googlez getting mixed results.

    Some HDMI cables and connection types can't handle 1440p @165 Hz like on your new monitor so that could be a reason why you are not getting the full resolution on it. Display Port is the way to go for that monitor.

    The vive link box also has a mini display port connector if that helps but to be honest I think you need to buy a Display Port cable (I think you should have got one with the monitor) and use that for the new monitor. Use display port for the other monitor too if possible (or use DVI if it's only 1080p or 1440p@60Hz) and use your only HDMI port for the vive

    Cheers. Ive ordered a mini display port. Seems Nvidia had a few issues with this in 1080ti since it only has one hdmi port. I want to keep the monitor in that port as id loose g-sync if it used dp and got lower res.


    Hopefully this will sort it. Shall keep you informed!
