My 27" Samsung S27A950D is having an issue where several times a day it will stop displaying what is on-screen and instead only display a "Not Optimum Mode" error instead. This only happens when connected via Displayport. Only turning the monitor off and then on again fixes it. It's definitely set at the correct resolution.
I've had this monitor for a while, as it is a pretty old monitor (~2012). Previously with my 3x GTX680 SLI setup it had this issue also. My solution years ago was to switch from using Displayport to Dual-Link DVI, after which the problems disappeared and I practically forgot it was an issue. Now I'm using an RTX2080 that only has Displayport and HDMI ports. The monitor has an HDMI port but it is a 120hz panel, and can only do 60hz via HDMI, so with the RTX2080 Displayport is my only option for 120hz.
Any ideas on why it's doing this or how I might fix this? It doesn't seem to be related to anything I'm doing on the computer, as sometimes it will do it even while I'm just browsing a web page, etc.
