    Tried multiple cables, multiple monitors, to no avail.

    The monitor says it's just not seeing a signal over HDMI when switched to the HDMI mode. It used to work a month ago.

    GT80S SLI running latest windows 10.

    Is the GT80S able to run in iGPU only?
    If so try with iGPU mode and see if it works.

    I ran the monitor via the DisplayPort and it somehow deconfigured the HDMI setting. I hit the Win-P and got the external monitor to work via HDMI. Weird.

    For a while I could not get both the external monitor and the built-in laptop screen to work at the same time but a few reboots fixed it.
