    I bought a Gigabyte M270Q P recently, plugged it into my funny enough Gigabyte 3060 and all was great on HDMI. I've tried DisplayPort and I get a blankscreen. I've tried setting the source to DP and still blank screen. I'm running the latest drivers on Windows 10. I don't have another device laying around with DP that I can try on the monitor and before I waste money on another cable I'm hoping someone might have had the same issue with the same monitor.

    I've been talking to Gigabyte support but their responses are single lines of "try x" then a two day wait for another single line response.

    I don't have a display port cable. The only hardware I own that has a display port is a chromebook so I can't help with your exact hardware but I can point you to a guide that might help. Looking at a guide here
    https://www.getdroidtips.com/rtx-3070-3060-and-3050-displayport-not-working/

    1. Keep the monitor plugged into the graphics card display port but unplug the monitor from the wall. If that doesn't help, it was also suggested to unplug the power from the computer as well.

    2. Do you know what version your display port cable is? Perhaps you need a newer version.

    3. Check V-BIOS.

    Thanks, I've ordered a new cable. The one I have came with the monitor. BIOS is up to date, motherboard is about a year old it's a Gigabyte board too funny enough as is the graphics card. It has to be something stupid like it being a cheap cable.

    I've tried the pluging and unplugging, powering on and off. Different displayports. HDMI works perfect so I'm hoping it's just the cable. Otherwise I'll need to rule out the monitor or video card.

    I give up, I'm returning the monitor I've had enough messing about with cables trying to make this thing work. If the new monitor is the same then I'll need to return the video card. I've had enough of Gigabyte and their slow support asking the same questions I've already answered.
