Not Optimum Mode

[kerriya]

i just bought 3080 but monitor only has a vga so i decided to use an adapter and well it works but every time i turn on pc it shows this message and also screen feels kinda blurry and weird. yes i installed all the drivers.

 

 

 

 

edit: i fixed it! i just changed it from the nvidia control panel and it worked

Monitor model?

Set the display output in graphics drivers to 1600x900 at 60Hz. Most likely the output is higher than what the monitor can handle and hence it's blurry. 

 

Time to upgrade your monitor if you have an RTX 3080 and an old 1600x 900 monitor. You can always go with a 1440 panel and depending on CPU, high refresh rate 1080 panel.

Spends hundreds on a GPU, won't spend $50 to get a monitor that's at least 1080p.

i have always wondered why are people like you here cause certainly you are not here to help others. maybe write something helpful for once in your life instead of making stupid comments.

nope it's on  1600 x 900 however there is an option to go higher which wasn't there before i installed the gpu

Nope, definitely never helped anybody. 

 

Look dude, I'm sorry if I made you feel silly, but your purchasing priorities honestly are silly. If you got a 3080, you're clearly not broke. Instead of trying to make this ancient monitor work, splash the nominal amount of additional cash to at least get something that's 1080p and has inputs from this century. You are simply not going to have a good experience with that display. We wouldn't be "helping" you by telling you how to nurse it along.

My Samung monitor does this for 2 minutes every startup if I don't use the originial cable. Which I don't have anymore. Does it go away after a few minutes or if you press a button on the monitor?

Ok that's fine there. Just make sure the refresh rate is at 60Hz. It could be a converter issue with the adapter and just throwing off the monitors input signals. I think the blurriness is due to the adapter. 

 

Definitely check out for monitor deals to upgrade to which I mentioned in my previous post.
