not connected to an nvidia GPU
I just received an AURORA R7 with a 1070ti GPU.
I have connected the new monitor I bought. It is an S2716DG.
When I try to use the NVIDIA control panel, I get the message "you are not currently using a display connected to an NVIDIA GPU".
I received 3 cables with the monitor. A typical HDMI cable, a cable that I believe is used to activate the USB ports on the monitor and another cable that looks somewhat similar to an HDMI cable which I believe is a DP cable (whatever that is).
I plugged the DP cable into the PC and monitor. I also have the cable that enables the USB ports plugged in.
Not sure what else I need to do.
Hi @martinc31415,
This message usually appears when the monitor is connected to the on-board card (top half of the system), so as per Tesla says, make sure you're connecting the monitor to the Nvidia card at the bottom.

Connect the DisplayPort cable from the monitor to the Aurora-R7 . Be sure you are using a DisplayPort on the Nvidia GTX-1070ti card itself (towards the bottom of case).
If you have all that and still get that message, it might have something to do with G-Sync tech (not sure, I don't use it).
