GTX 580 wont display video on my HDTV

Hardware GPU
1

i have a gtx 580 with a mini HDMI to HDMI cable and a 32' toshiba power tv. when i plug in the hdmi from the motherboard i do get video but not when i connect from the GPU... keep in mind that i just built this system and it still doesnt have a software on it. please help me resolve this issue. thanks in advance

do you have the drivers for the 580 installed?

3

By it doesn't have a software on it do you mean an OS? or no Nvidia drivers?

4

I was able to boot into UEFI with my 680, despite there being no OS, drivers, etc. Is the 580 plugged up with the PCIe power cables?

 

5

You have been given a solution, you just dont like it, so you dont wanna follow it. Install windows, install nvidia drivers, set the gpu to the correct resolution to your tv. If you dont wanna do it the right way, stop complainging.
