How GT 520 auto detect VGA,HDMI,DVI device ? Is there manual override ?
How does the GT 520 auto-detect the connected the device ?
It has 3 connectors: VGA, HDMI and DVI. What I want to do is: 1. Use VGA always for monitor. 2. Use HDMI only for audio connection to receiver. Problem with this setup is that GT 520 believes receiver to be a monitor and switches to it automatically on boot, with different/weird results, either no screen, or bad screen. Only pulling out HDMI cable and rebooting will restore screen to VGA. I have not yet tried the following solution: 1. Use DVI for monitor. 2. Use HDMI for receiver. What would happen in this scenerio ? I could not perform this experiment cause I didn't think of it at the time and the nvidia driver installation failed, complaining about some wizard already running after reboot which was kinda weird. I installed an older driver over a newer driver (gt 1030). I have now replaced the GT 520 by the GT 1030 and will attempt to re-install latest GT 1030 driver. Hopefully this time it will work. I would still like to know how GT 520 does auto-detect and if it's somehow possible to force it to always use VGA or always use DVI... instead of having to revert to physical solutions like yanking/plugging high-powered hdmi cables and rebooting. For now I assume this forcing/manual selection of display device is not possible but please enlightening me if I am wrong. (System uses a socket 939 winfast motherboard which only supports one graphics card in normal mode unfortunately... would have liked to use both cards for experimenting purposes and maybe even cuda-ing sometime in future.... perhaps it's the build in sli-card-link thing that causes this not sure). Bye, Skybuck. |
