Did you try seeing if it uses the front HDMI as a different monitor ? So you may need to change it in settings

I am having the same problem. It's definitely not the HDMI extension cable because I tried plugging that into the rear HDMI port and my CV1 into the extension and everything worked fine. So something is definitely wrong with the rear HDMI port when it comes to CV1 support.

Hello and Welcome to the Forums
 
I apologize for the inconvenience you are having with this issue. One thing you can try is to open the side panel to your PC case and unplug the front bay HDMI port from the card and then plug the CV1 HDMI cable directly into the card and see if that works.

Tried that no dice. I'll open a support ticket.

Hello.  I am having the same issue with my new Rift CV1.  I too have submitted a support ticket and referenced this thread.  Hope to find a resolution soon, it's the whole reason I bought the card in the first place!

I'm having the same issue with my CV1.
 
Any response from EVGA yet?

@dewalt718 What is the Make and Full Model Number of your Motherboard or to your Computer?

Bcanaugh,
There are like 10 people who just complained that the card's HDMI doesn't work. I don't think it's their motherboard man. Definitely a problem with this particular model. There is also another thread about this same issue as well.

Only Checking if the user has The Asmedia USB 3.0 controller which is not supported is all. *with the Oculus Rift

Okay but we are talking about the HDMI port. I can plug the USBs into either the drive bay USBs or two other 3.0 USBs I have on the front. I have an Asus Maximus Hero VIII Motherboard with fully updated drivers that is only a few months old. The USBs don't bear into it. It is only the front HDMI that doesn't work no matter where the USB cables are plugged in. The back HDMI works fine with no issues. The converter to HDMI in the back works with the DK2 with no issues as well. It is only the front HMDI that doesn't work.

Well since it seems to be every unit right now I think I will wait for their answer. There is no point in getting another one if all of them don't have a front port that works with Oculus Rift.

They RMAed me a new GPU and that has corrected the issue. Go EVGA!

Just received my RMA'ed card and it's still having the same problem with the CV1 :(
tested front hdmi to monitor -> no problems
tested CV1 to back HDMI -> no problems
tested CV1 to front HDMI -> no video.  Oculus software detects HDMI is plugged in and no issue, but no video at all.  Sound works (assuming this comes through USB, however)
 
Will update my support ticket in a moment
