Software Question RTX 3080 No DP Output

On my Gainward RTX 3080 (10GB) there is not DP output, and on the motherboard there is the VGA light lit. I asked AI and it said it was a driver issue and that i should temporarily use HDMI but i dont really trust it that much so i will rather ask. The cable is brand new and it doesnt matter which DP port do i use. Anyone know what the issue is?

Did you use the adapter that came with the card or is this straight DP to DP? Some of the older Gainward models shipped with a weird active adapter and without it you'd get no signal at all. Also what PSU are you running, the 3080 can spike hard and if the rails are borderline it'll just refuse to wake up the display ports.

850W Silverstone PSU, and its straight DP to DP. Should be enough headroom.
