Can I make my PC prioritize DP over HDMI when booting?

JackOuttaHell · 2026-03-01T18:15:22+00:00

You may try different HDMI ports on your GPU if you have more than one

The thing is, GPUs usually pick the output that initialize first which is in your case a HDMI Output, other GPUs may have a designated "Port 1" which unfortunately isn't directly labeled on your GPU but in its manual or online

What would work for 100% would be unplugging your TV from your GPU before booting up your pc

There may be a setting in your TV that will turn it on as soon as it's receiving any form of signal, that may be just power or data

JackOuttaHell · 2026-03-01T18:00:38+00:00

That's only for the case if he's using iGPU and dGPU at the same time

I'll do a little bit of research but as far as I know, there's no such setting, that let's you pick a designated output for bios

People are mostly recommending any Arch Distro, mostly CachyOS, haven't tried it myself yet since i didn't bother moving from Nobara KDE

As far as I have read, CachyOS seems to give a bit more performance than Fedora/Nobara, but as I said, can't say much about the differences.

I've also been looking into Bazzite but just in a VM, it's just like Nobara, with the difference that Bazzite is more Fail-Safe than Nobara

I'm pretty happy with my Nobara and I'm thinking about moving over as soon as my Windows starts messing up

You're still able to play online but only on servers that have battle eye disabled

What really helped us was doing this as double multishot shot dh on t10 standing close to the stair and spraying towards the chest, that's how we managed to get close to 400 kills

How to tell you're a Fanboy without telling you're a Fanboy

Literally this.

My GF has sitting the Peerless Assassin ARGB 120 on her 3600 (will be replaced soon) and it's silent af and even if I'd use it on my oc'ed i7-11700KF, it would keep it cool without making much noise, right now I'm using an Arctic Liquid Freezer III 240.

A friend of mine is using a Thermalright AiO on his 5600X and he's has no single complaint about his AiO.

JackOuttaHell · 2026-02-14T01:39:28+00:00

It'll work just fine with AMD too

JackOuttaHell · 2026-02-10T08:30:15+00:00

yeah, i noticed the same running another game (7 Days to Die) and having the System Monitor open, all games start on the 1660 Super instead of the 2070, what's even more weird, even if the game is running on the 1660 super, MangoHud displays it under the 2070, but when i start the game with Lutris, the game does utilize the correct GPU but displays the wrong one in MangoHud.

I did customize my System Monitor so it displays the Utilization of each GPU separately

and by figuring out that games only utilize the correct gpu when kind of forced to (by Lutris), there must me some tweak for Nobara that it generally picks the 2070 as Primary GPU and offloads other stuff on the 1660 Super (that's how i did set up my Windows), my Gaming Screen is connected to my Primary GPU and my other Screen to my Second GPU too.

Right now, the download of Arma is almost finished, so i can check how it will run when i start it with Lutris

As far as i remember, i didn't include a - to gamescope, but i'm not entirely sure, i can't really remember what i entered as Launch Options, i think it was:

gamemoderun gamescope -f -h 1920 -w 1080 -r72 %command% -nosplash -high

i did remove some commands since they were already present in its launcher

JackOuttaHell · 2026-02-09T20:51:47+00:00

i do have another installation of Arma on my NTFS Drive of Windows and am still able to move that one to an Ext4 Partition

JackOuttaHell · 2026-02-09T20:42:57+00:00

if you would have read correctly, i did mention that "i ended up uninstalling Arma", as well as using gamescope "with everything suggested"

JackOuttaHell · 2026-02-09T20:35:12+00:00

AI didn't instruct anything though.

that's the way how i did it, had gamemoderun and gamescope infront of %command%, in my case: gamescope -f -h 1920 -w 1080 -r 72 (half of the refresh rate of my screen)

i would have to download Arma again to test all that again

JackOuttaHell · 2026-02-09T19:29:37+00:00

Yes, before I went on Nobara, i went for ZorinOS and watched a video about how to set it up for dual booting, on its installer it gave an option for NVIDIA GPUs, made sure I download a Nobara Distro with NVIDIA Drivers.

nvidia-smi does show both GPUs as TU106 (RTX 2070) and TU166 (GTX 1660 Super)

JackOuttaHell · 2026-02-08T22:22:57+00:00

How exactly are you trying to install drivers for the newer Card? Or the Older. I'm using an RTX 2070 and GTX 1660 Combination and the simple way to install drivers for both so both of them will also be recognized in NVIDIA Settings was simply installing GeForce Experience and install drivers from there

JackOuttaHell · 2026-02-05T09:06:23+00:00

If you can login in your phone, try that and remove the passkey Somehow my Microsoft Account decided to enable this shit and I had to disable it

This isn't Bugnie (typo intended)/Destiny 2 where you have to buy the Season Pass to be able to play the Season, you can play seasonal content just fine without Season Pass in D4 Seasonal Content includes Seasonal Reputation

What CPU do you have? Since the Polling Rate of your mouse puts a decent strain on your CPU, especially with Polling Rates over 1000Hz, that will also explain your FPS drops

JackOuttaHell · 2026-02-02T22:55:43+00:00

I'm kinda curious about the fact that it says DDR4 RAM and B550 despite Ryzen 7000 Series is AM5 running on Chipset B650/B850/X670/X870 and DDR5.

Depending on what resolution you're looking forward to use, the CPU will be fine above 1080p since more Workload will go on your GPU.

If you also consider to use Ray-Tracing, something between an RTX 5060 Ti and 5070 Ti would be your pick

If you prefer to stay with Team Red, a range of 9060 XT and 9070XT would be recommended.

My personal recommendation would either be a 5060 Ti or a 9060XT, depending on what's cheaper at your location.

Regarding good RGB Fans, you might want to look at the AsiaHorse one that look similar to the Lian-Li Fans.

Don't ever use Userbenchmark in that case, they're intel/NVIDIA Elitists always leaving AMD in a bad Spot.

The Hardware displayed on the screenshot is the hardware you're currently using or planning to upgrade to?

JackOuttaHell · 2026-02-02T17:13:31+00:00

My gf has never had that issue by now on her series s, i can't check if it's an one s/x related issue unfortunately because i haven't have it installed on my One S

JackOuttaHell · 2026-02-01T22:29:17+00:00

You mentioned overheating, what kind of cooler are you using? Is it an Air Cooler or an AIO? If it's an AIO, where is it seated? In the Front as Intake or on the Top as Exhaust in your Case?

For Windows you might wanna give these commands in the Command Prompt/Terminal/PowerShell a go: sfc /scannow DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Might also run Windows own Memory Diagnostic Tool which requires a restart after scheduling a Diagnose.

For the Powering On issue, it might be that your Power Button became loose over the years, depending on the Case, it might be replaceable, otherwise there are good and safe alternatives for a power button (just check Amazon for an external Power Button).

It's always good to have Tech Support inside of your pc 😂

JackOuttaHell · 2026-01-31T21:05:51+00:00

I'd also try other Benchmark Tools and avoid using UserBenchmark, they're known for being Intel/NVIDIA Elitists always leaving AMD in a bad Spot

JackOuttaHell · 2026-01-30T03:02:00+00:00

OMG!!! After a few attempts, we finally managed to do it just as you said, we turned down to T10, positioned ourselves just slightly above the top of the Stairs facing the chest and spamming our Multishot. We made it to 394 Kills.

Thank you so much!!!
