Video card - EVGA GeForce GTX 950 2GB FTW GAMING, Silent Cooling Graphics Card 02G-P4-2958-KR
 
Motherboard - 970A-G46 lates bios version  2016-01-08
 
I tried Fresh install, updated bios, newest graphic card drivers and im currently running out of solutions.
 
I just bought this card about a month ago brand new. The only display i have is through hdmi port with my tv. For some odd reason the DVI port isn't picking up any display. The weirdest thing is that on my Nvidia Control Panel it picks up the 2nd monitor but, it goes straight to power saving mode when i try to extend the display. any ideas or suggestions? 
tired of using my tv as my main display. I'm trying to get my actual monitor to work.
 
please help

 

 

 

Just a quick question, do you have the power cable plugged into the GPU?

PFC 750w sorry had a hard time finding it.

I find it odd that the GPU goes into power savings mode when you extend the display What happens when you only have just the monitor plugged? And just the display? Are you sure the TV you're using supports the resolution you're trying to run at? +

theirs no display on my monitor when it's plugged in itself. i tried multiple monitors with DVI and with a DVI converted to VGA. Well I would assume so, because that's the only way i can get any signal out of my video card is with my hdmi port.
TV - 1366x768
 
I also tried lowering the res manually to the lowest and still same issue "power saving mode"
 
 

I take it you're getting an image on the TV but not the monitor? Power saving mode means exactly that, power savings mode meaning that it's not getting sufficient power so it goes into power savings, kind of like a laptop low on battery or trying to save power. Can you double check the plug on the GPU is plugged in right, or do you have another plug you can try? Do you have another power supply around? 

What resolution is the monitor? You tried using a straight cable to the monitor correct? DVI or HDMI while using no adapter? 
 

monitor - 640x480 to 1920x1080 i tried every single res. yep i tried a straight cord DVI to DVI. nah i have an adapter that converts my DVI port to a VGA & my hdmi to hdmi witch only my tv has a port for that.
