Relevant system specs for this issue:
- XFX RX 7900 XT Merc (3x DP, 1x HDMI) - old GPU was Nvidia GTX 970 which ran this setup fine
- 2x 22" LG monitors (1920x1080@60Hz)
- Lenovo USB-C docking station
- Asus Thunderboltex 3
So, my GPU works fine when monitors (1920x1080@60Hz) are plugged into the GPU.
The thing is, all my wiring goes into my docking station which has 2x DP and 1x HDMI output.
My GPU is plugged to a Thunderbolt expansion card which gives out the video signal/display via USB-C. (see screenshot)
Through that connection all my peripherals work EXCEPT the monitors.
I get a signal but they show black screens.
I can see apps run on them when I take a screenshot of all displays, even through RDP/Teamviewer they are running and fine but I physically can't see anything on them.
Weird thing is when I uninstall all drivers with a DDU and the Microsoft basic display drivers are used (or if I boot in safe mode) I get both monitors working perfectly fine.
This even worked with my old Nvidia GTX 970 perfectly fine.
I figured as much as that if either of these drivers are installed on my system the issue happens:
Driver : oem12.inf

I tried :
- older and up-to-date drivers
- low resolution
- low color depth
- low refresh rate
- BIOS reset
- WHQL drivers installed with test signature
- different cables (a lot of them)
- disabling MPO
- disabling 10bit color
Basically anything I could find for display issues regarding GPUs from the past 3 years that fit my description even remotely.
I can't get this to work and have to re-wire everything after work so I can relax playing games. I fear that with the daily plug-in and plug-out of the DP cables I might harm my DP ports on my GPU.
I currently have 1 monitor plugged into the GPU and 1 monitor on my docking station with keyboard, mouse etc. - this is what adrenalin and windows show me. I can move around windows and apps between both monitors but I can't physically see them on the monitor that is plugged in to the docking station. (only visible virtually like a screenshot or Teamviewer/RDP/VNC etc.)
HELP !!
