My monitor is connected through display port. 
But my surround sound receiver is connected through the GPU's HDMI. There is no monitor connected to the receiver. 
I've set the DP monitor to primary on Nvidia's settings, but when booting bios menus and boot screens are sent to the HDMI monitor.
 
After a format, DP is used in boot menus all the way up to a certain windows patch, not sure which one. Also during a boot, once you make it to windows Nvidia takes over and sends the video to the DP port. 
 
Is there some kind of setting, or plug order that will cause my display port monitor to be the primary monitor during boots?

    If you've already plugged your monitor in to all the dp outputs with the same results the answer is no.

    What is the receiver and motherboard?
    Why would you use HDMI as the audio source?
     
    I would think TOSlink would be better if the board and receiver supported it, even 2 channel stereo - or SPDIF (digital out)

    Toslink/SPDIF is vastly inferior to HDMI for audio.

    Gigabyte Z390 and a Pioneer VSX-821. 
     
    I've had nothing but bad luck with SPDIF/Toslink, not sure if my receiver doesn't support the compression or what, but it rarely works for me, and when it does its only stereo. 
     
    Seriously HDMI is the best way to get audio to a receiver from a PC, the only other options being a ANALOG 5.1 receiver (stopped being made in the 1990's) or a HDMI sound card, which Asus actually made for alittle while, but they are gone.
    The analog receiver would be nice... could connect each 3.5mm from the sound card to individual channels giving more control from the pc side.

    Digital signal is just that, a digital signal. I stand corrected on that statement as I just did some digging - https://www.avsforum.com/...udio.html#post56914296
     
    But still, unless he is trying to do Atmos or Dolby HD then yes Toslink or SPDIF would probably be fine
    Either the DAC on the board is junk or the DAC in the receiver is junk if you are having issues
    And sorry if I am offending anyone here but if your receiver / avr is sub $600 then it is plain crap.
    I have ran my OLD Denon (pre HDMI) with both Toslink and SPDIF and never had compression / issues with sound. Only reason why it got updated replaced was the lack of HDMI. Still have it though just because it is a workhorse.
     
    And bcavnaugh, gold plated Toslink cables?? - too much
     
    This would probably be better off in the general hardware section as it is not directly an EVGA video card issue, more of an hardware / board issue

    I'm still using a Pioneer VSX-454 I got on Feb 13 '96 from Service Merchandise for $269 along with a Pioneer CT-W604RS cassette deck for $160 that also still functions.
    I won't replace the 454 until it stops working.

    I'm still rocking a 25 year old pioneer stereo receiver... too bad I didn't have the foresight to get a 5.1 reciever back than and pack it away for the future.

    My bedroom reciever is a 25year old pioneer receiver I picked up at circuit city when I was a kid. Still works, stereo goes out every now and again, just give it a 'technical tap" and stereo kicks back on. Doesn't compare to the Realistic brand receiver I found at a garage sale in the early 90's. That thing was a beast.
    If I had picked up a 5.1 back then I'd be set now... until it dies that is.

    Yeah I too wish had waited just what two more years than could have gotten a rear channel in stereo but hey still sounds good enough.
    The only thing to note not quite working wright would be the Receiver's display is not as bright as it use to be also I understand for it's age it is a fire hazard but so are a few other electronics appliances I own. 
    Realistic was a product line produced for RadioShack and went on to be renamed Optimus. My experience with some of Realistic and Optimus products is not so stellar to put it lightly.

    Hrmm...
    After a format I noticed the memory on my 2080ti black isn't staying locked at 7000mhz and instead is stepping down to a idle speed.
     
    The HDMI receiver is causing this, because after the format it wasn't happening and the only differerence was I hadn't reconnected the receiver yet. 
     
    I remember seeing a post about how to handle it, anyone know the link?

    If you want the card to run at full clocks at idle just do the following... https://forums.evga.com/E...XC-Ultra-m2897230.aspx

    I had a similar issue. After some maintenance on my system (three monitors) my bios screen would boot to the right monitor instead of the center monitor even though in the Nvidia CP I had the center panel as the primary display. I did not have to change the Nvidia control panel but I did have to swap the cables on the card to correct the displays.
     
    So, maybe if you initially use a DP on your receiver until you get the proper card response and setup, then replace the receiver DP cable with the HDMI, it all will remain unchanged after the next reboot.

    There is a specific port order that the card will use, if you want HDMI to be the primary monitor that you will access the bios through and have DP on the other monitors you use the DP slots that are after it. When looking at the back of the card start at the top then count down
     
    Read from this post onward for port ordering -

    Edit: If you want a specific DP monitor to be the Bios / Boot screen then it will have to be plugged into the top DP slot (closest to the hold down bracket screw)

    Get a DP to HDMI adapter and then you can have the HDMI be the boot screen or not based on which DP slot it is in.
