- The outputs on your video card determine what display shows the BIOS. For my card, furthest from PCIE slot = top priority. Your mileage may vary. Hope this helps someone.
2:35 my dumb ass gets to the point...
This video could have been 20 seconds long but my man here dragged it out to 5 minutes, you deserve a record of some sort
Seriously, let's just make one new one that is 20 seconds long loool
3:14 for anyone in a hurry. Great vid OP this was super helpful
+ video was very helpful ty OP 🙏
A very helpful video, thank you. There seems to be a lot of misinformation about this particular issue, of course people talking about Windows configuration and Nvidia Control Panel which both have nothing to do with this, but a lot of others are for example claiming that the priority depends on the type of the port (VGA, DVI, DP, HDMI) which turned out to be not true in my case. Your video was the one that finally solved my issue.
I'm glad it helped man, thanks for the kind words. My videos are so bad but it always feels great to resolve something frustrating for someone else.
Dude thank you so much, I had this issue for months without finding a solution and it randomly appeared, now I know my bios was trying to be displayed on my vr headset all the freaking time. Thanks
Damn... to your VR headset. I can see how that'd be some frustration for sure.
Dude, this helped me out a lot, thanks a ton! ( had 2x 2412M 16:10 dells, and just got an acer predator 27 xb271hu and was going nuts with the bios showing up on my portrait placed dells )
Man thanks you a lot! I spent around 1 hour for it in internet until I found your video.
Thank you so much!
NP glad it helped!
You, you uhhm, you can, you can
Actually on some motherboards you can choose what display to default to, although it is usually on laptops.
Sadly it doesn't work for me.
Awesome! this is what i'm looking for! finally I can solve this problem. thank you and happy new year!
Let me know if this actually helped you. I wonder if the situation is universal to all video cards. Logic inidcates there should be some order of priority but maybe it is different depending on the card. Would be nice if my findinga applied across the board. Anyway I hope you get it sorted out.
@@jamesmiscellaneous My video card is MSI 2080 GAMING X TRIO. I think this solution is helpful to MSI cards. Thanks!
Having this issue for awhile annoying when I try to clip something and it’s on the wrong screen thanks man
Glad it helped.
Thank you for your vid man you actually helped me
Glad to hear sir.
My HDMI is all the way to the side which is primary display
Holy shit thank you this has been a problem for me for years. (It seemed to work a bit differently on my RTX 2070 but the same logic. I found that I had to unplug my second display for a few seconds to let my computer configure to my new main display then I could plug it back in and its now my second display
Always great when my lame videos help someone. Thanks for sharing!
If I plug the main monitor far to the right it boots first, but Nvidia and windows show it as 2nd monitor, which causes me a problem with HDCP handhshakes on Netflix etc. It causes a short annoying black screen. If I leave it connected to the first slot, which causes Windows and Nvidia to show it as first screen, that black screen doesnt happen.
But , that's not works with iGPU
This didn't work for me. My bootscreen just refuses to display most of the time regardless of input. Fast boot is turned off. I'm just unlucky smh
This is only if you think your POST/BIOS is coming up on a different display than the one you want. If you can't see your boot screen anywhere, are you booting into Windows? If so, check if you have a VR device connected or something else that might have a display.
@@jamesmiscellaneous It's only one display and it is indeed booting into windows. I never had any issues until I set my computer up for windows 11. I'm considering reverting back to legacy BIOS from UEFI due to this.
Well that kinda sucks because my 2nd monitor is displayport and my main is HDMI... On mine the two HDMI ports are close to the PCIe slot...
Thank you because I have a monitor portrait !
most closest one to pci x shows the bios in my case. gtx 1060 6gb msi gamingx. no idea what to do. even if this is "correct" way to achieve visible bios on power on nvidias "control multiple monitors" page "correct" main monitor can be seen as 2 out of 3 monitors.even if it is selected as main.
oh man thank you so much !!
Haha Worked perfectly. Thank you 😂🎉
so i have one hdmi and one display port. if my main (Middle monitor ) is in the display port (First port) and my second is in the second port (hdmi) on the graphics card. which one shows the bios.
BRO I LOVE YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH FINALLY
Glad it helped! Wonder what it was doing for you before you tried this.
@@jamesmiscellaneous I tried everything within the computer like Nvidia control panel and within the BIOS to find a setting but nothing worked
Awesome 😘 thank you
it worked brother!!!!!! thanks you!
Thanks. I wonder if anyone knows if this can be configured in the BIOS somewhere 🤔 or if this is just something that is
Thank you 👌
this does not work
Man, thnks!!!
Np sir!
The more close port to my pcie slot is the dvi slot and my dvi monitor shows up the bios but I want my HDMI monitor to show the bios and other stuff like that, so.... What can I do in my case?
Not sure you can do anything if the video cards bios says the dvi out is the first go to display outside of windows. Unless it can be editted in the cards bios.
@@jamesmiscellaneous I found a way to fix the problem, just uninstall the dvi monitor drivers from the device manager in windows though after that the secondary Monitor might not work but then the bios and stuff will be shown at the primary display.( This fix is for people like me whose secondary monitor got broken or somethin and now they can't see the bios screen on the primary display and if anyone has any other solution then I am all ears.
Very usefull, thank you very mucho :3
Hope it helped.
didnt work
Thanx 😀 it works
You’re a fucking life saver man.
Glad it worked for you, MSI card or another manufacturers?
Never had an issue with 2080ti soon as I upgraded to 3080ti I started having this issue ended up just taking my sec monitor down
Changing connection positions was no help? I wonder what you could have done to get it the way you want on your ampere card. Kudos to you affording a 3080ti.
@@jamesmiscellaneous thanks I have my main lg 55inch 4k 120hrtz monitor hdmi and my second monitor 1080p displayport bios started booting on second monitor I called evga they just said the 30 series cards prioritize display port 1st idk having wierd issues like no signal on reboot unless I power off and back on monitor.like I said everything was perfect on 2080ti
@@timtoomuch I was about to guess priority to DP over HDMI, but you confirmed it. The second monitor (the 1080p) would lose signal out of nowhere connected to your ampere card? That's odd, wonder what the cause was.
Hopefully the it wasn't an issue with the refresh rates being diff on each monitor and that was off? Just guessing really. I love figuring out problems like that, but all I can do is guess without seeing the entire setup. At least EVGA responded to you, MSI gives a cold shoulder when you ask a simple question. 😀
@@jamesmiscellaneous no shouldn't I have everything set correctly my lg is VRR and gsync not sure wth is going on I'll fig it out eventually thanks for your help
the issue is not bios related its gpu related so going in to the bios wont help and this method is not the solution because anyone can change a cord to a different port but the solution would be to not have to change the cord
No one here is saying it's a BIOS issue.
helpful❤
thx
I don't use any second display ...i have same isu...i don't find any solution!
If you only have 1 display device tge uefi/bios should default to it. Not sure why not for you.
Finally it work when i enabled CSM (compatibility support module )
Thanks 🥳
@@RatulTattur csm should only resolve boot issues not display bios problems. But whatever works! Glad you got it!
I have 3 monitors and my BIOS splash screen shows up on Monitor 1 and Monitor 2 (both DP) - My third monitor is also DP but shows no BIOS - I would prefer the BIOS only shows on the primary screen, any thoughts?
Just find which monitor displays your BIOS, then plug the monitor you want to display it into that monitors DP port on your video card.
@@jamesmiscellaneous My BIOS displays on both Monitor 1 and Monitor 2...
@@swiftshadowsabre2436 sounds like your video card mirrors which is weird. As long as the BIOS is being displayed on the screen you want, what's the matter if it's mirrored onto another display?
@@swiftshadowsabre2436 But I do understand you want it only the 1 screen, we all have our OCD and preferences. I'm unsure why your video card decides the same video source should be displayed twice. Never see displays cloned outside of Windows OS. Wish I had an answer for you...
@@swiftshadowsabre2436 Just curious, are all 3 DP connections coming from one discrete video card? Or do you have an APU and one of the DP connections is to the motherboard. I wonder if one would be from the video card, and the other from the CPUs integrated GPU. I know, that's prob not the case, but I am just trying to figure out the cause for you. Anyway, have a good evening.
Bro, you are a wiz!
Nah I just played with connections till I realized this. Hope it helped you out.
one of my monitors is in intergrated graphics currently , but i orded a cable so ye
I don't have an APU so I'd be curious to see which screen the BIOS/UEFI defaults to in your setup if someone had both the integrated and discrete graphics enabled. I imagine it should go to the integrated first, but who knows.
@@jamesmiscellaneous yes the intergrated goes first some reason. getting a display cable tho so dwthx for letting me know!
My god tysm
Thank you 🌹
dosent work
