I recently tried to play Black Ops 2 on my NVIDIA 4080 Super, but I ran into some issues. The game started in 800x800 resolution, even though I'm using a 2K monitor with a resolution of 2560x1440. After adjusting the settings to match my monitor, I ended up with a black screen and couldn't do anything. I shut down my PC and when I turned it back on, I could hear the Windows startup sound but there was nothing displayed on my screen. I switched the HDMI cable to the motherboard, which allowed me to see my desktop again. I've tried troubleshooting with some help from an AI, but I'm still stuck. Any advice would really help!

Don't worry, your GPU isn't dead just because of that! Sounds like the resolution settings got messed up. You did the right thing by connecting the monitor to the motherboard to see the desktop. From there, you should try to adjust the resolution back to something that your GPU can handle before switching back to it. If that doesn’t help, you might want to uninstall and reinstall your graphic drivers to reset everything.
Yeah, it’s likely that starting the game changed the resolution to something your monitor can't display. Connecting to the motherboard was a smart move! Just make sure to revert to a supported resolution when you're back in, and definitely check your GPU drivers. If the drivers are still giving you grief, just uninstall them completely and reinstall fresh copies. That might sort out the issues.
