Why can't they just plug directly to hdmi, and use a adapter for the monitor. Some people are so dumb, they fail to try other methods. 

I can't. I have 4 monitors, and how it is set up, I dont really have any options. When I got my Vive, I had to get a DP to mini DP adapter to use my Vive without disconnecting some monitors.

 

I really need a 1080, but I'm not buying one until this is fixed, and I can actually find one in stock.

Ordered a Vive + 1080 in the same shipment over a month ago.

Still waiting on them cos they're both bobbing in and out of stock but are never available at the same time.

My mistake, ha

You can still use the HDMI connection, it's just trying to use the mini DP won't work.

um, correct me if I'm wrong, but the vive is HDMI right? People do know passive adapters to go from DP to above 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 on HDMI or DVI-D typically don't work...right? 

The active adapters these days are cheaper, thankfully. 

Actually they never work for above 1080p because when converting to DVI it becomes single link DVI and HDMI (1.x) doesnt support over 1080p 60hz (unless 1.4)

1.3 supports 2560x1600 @ 60 hz. Also, active adapters. I have a few myself, 2 of which are driving the two 1440p dvi-d korean monitors on my laptop.

So as long as you don't need the single hdmi connector for a display device you're fine.

This seems like a very serious issue considering the the fact that Pascal was marketed so heavily for VR.

If this isn't fixable with a driver update, I'm curious as to what Nvidia plans to do about the people that already bought their cards. They have been mysteriously silent about it though, Nvidia reps on the Geforce forums are typically forthcoming about driver issues that are being fixed.

@DeadEyePsycho Nvidia has replied. They will release a driver fix this week.

Hey guys,

We are aware of user reports of an incompatibility when plugging HTC Vive into GeForce GTX 1080/1070 using the DisplayPort connector. We have identified a solution which is planned to be released in NVIDIA’s next Game Ready Driver targeted for later this week. In the interim, we recommend users connect HTC Vive to the HDMI port on GeForce GTX 1080/1070.
