Salvor_Hardin: Sep 13, 2005; I want to go protest.; Nap Ghost

Tonight I upgrade to a Ryzen 3700X and a ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4. Everything went smooth except once I reinstalled Windows my monitor connected via display port to the mother board won't detect. I'm running an NVIDEA Geforce GTX 1080 which only has a DVI port connected to my 2nd monitor which is working. The mobo drivers are up to date so I'm at a loss as to why its not detected. I tried switching to an HDMI connection but no dice.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Connect both monitors to your graphics card - your GTX 1080 probably has at least one DisplayPort port available, right?

The Ryzen 3700x doesn't have an integrated graphics processor (IGP) so the display outputs aren't used.
