Anyone had issues with the EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti and HDMI at boot? Currently, I can only see the bios and boot loader splash screen when connected via onboard DVI or onboard HDMI or discrete DVI. When I connect my TV via the graphics card HDMI I don't get any video signal until after the computer has booted into either Widows or OS X.
I have tried all sorts of combinations of BIOS settings to try and get this to work but so far have not been able to produce reliable/repeatable results. I say "reliable/repeatable" BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN THE BIOS SPLASH AND BOOTLOADER on graphics card HDMI ONLY TWO TIMES.
The second time was yesterday. I think the current BIOS settings I have are:
Init Display First: PEG
Internal Graphics: Disabled
Yesterday it worked briefly after I moved the computer from a friends house back to my home and turned it on for the first time. After I rebooted a little later it was no longer showing the bios splash or bootloader.
Bottom line is that it is possible, somehow, and I know that my graphics card is not permanently defective (only intermittently? :/). Also, again, the HDMI does work once you are fully booted into an OS.
If anyone can help me solve this last gremlin I would be so grateful. I realize I'm a bit sketchy on the details, I suppose the best thing would be to make a table of bios settings that I've tried and which ones [don't] work. That said, I don't think there should be anything wrong with the settings I have selected now so it must be something else I'm not thinking of, after all, it should of worked when I had everything set to AUTO!
If anyone else is using HDMI for their primary output and your card does initialize at boot where you can see your bios splash screen, can you let me know what settings you're using?
Thanks
Mike
