When I buy another cable should I go for DP > HDMI or stay with DP > DP.

@idkpc Are the drivers 19.21.2 the recommended ones or the optional ones? I had this issue a while ago while installing the optional drivers. And it messed up my entire system. I fixed it though by reinstalling the recommended version as a CLEAN install (very important but this will make you redo all the custom settings you might have put in during the years) and then after that I was able to do the optional ones. At the moment I am running with Nvidia so I can't tell which are the recommended/optional drivers. PS are you running a single monitor configuration or multi monitor?

@Bombastinator Thank you for your reply, Any idea why heat would solve the crack?

Hey Everyone, I got this very strange issue whenever I start my computer my 2nd screen goes on/off every few seconds up to a minute. This keeps going for quite a while. But when I do a quick stress test so that my video card gets hotter and also the display port cable it is connected to. At least I think that more current goes through it when the GPU is pushing it. But then when it is warmer the flickering stops. Even when I force the video card to cool down to 10 degrees and restart the problem does not come back but when I leave the computer off for a minimal of 4 hours the problem starts again. When I use a different cable the problem is also solved the only issue I have is that the other cable is about 9 meters to short. :-) The displayport cable in question is this one: https://smile.amazon.de/dp/B01NCIQ8JY/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_djp8DbQ8R4MEN This one is 10 meters long and has worked always flawlessly on my older GPU (r9 290x) but on the 980ti I have now it is giving me these issues. All drivers are fully up to date and I troubleshooted everything I could think of with the GPU and then it struck me that it had to do with heat. Because when the cable is used for a while the flickering stops and it does not come back. Unless it is not used for several hours. Anyone ever heard of coldness being a issue with cables? Any tips on what to do? Myself I was thinking of buying a displayport to hdmi cable like this: https://smile.amazon.de/dp/B000WK9JGO/?coliid=I2CVGBTKXV85U4&colid=3W3YBRCC5B8P3&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Is that a good idea or a waste of money?
