Aurora R16, Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti, DisplayPort priority?
Hello,
I have a new Aurora R16 with an NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti (8 GB). Is there documentation of the priority of the three DisplayPorts? That is, regardless of how many monitors are connected (all via DisplayPort), I want the BIOS/POST, the Windows pre-boot/recovery menu, and what Windows recognizes as "Display 1" to all be the same monitor. After much cable swapping trial and error, I can't seem to determine any logic to what's being selected.
Thanks!

Odd, I do not see the RTX 5060 Ti on the Aurora R16 parts page?
I do not have an Nvidia document to back this up, but Reddit users have stated the priority is as follows for say the RTX 4090 =
DP1/DP2/DP3/HDMI

Hmmm, not sure about the parts page but it appears to still be a option when customizing one.
In any case, what you shared is consistent with most of what I found. However, the behavior I'm seeing doesn't appear to completely match up with that and I'm not clear why.
With one monitor in DP1, all works as expected. When I plug a second monitor into DP2, I get POST on DP1, the Windows preboot/recovery menu on DP2, and once Windows is up and I check Display Settings, it has designated the monitor in DP2 as "Display 1" and changes the monitor in DP3 to "Display 2" but keeps the "make this my main display" set on DP3/Display 2.
I've even tried a third monitor (never connected to this computer before) and it still does the same as above.

Your one main (best) monitor into Display-Port-1 is best. Be sure that is really #1, and not just working because you only have one connected.
As far as the BIOS initially posting to the wrong one of two, I've really only seen that when you add a HDMI-one to the mix.
Any NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti (8 GB) that Dell sells is likely just a Nvidia Reference-Design Card ... so you can use other tech-docs you might find on the Internet (from reputable sources).
