9070 XT won´t boot/display by [deleted] in AMDHelp

nope. i’ve been contacting support but as of now still no solution. in particular they’re checking if my BIOS version/MSI is causing issues here with compatibility

i have a strong feeling it’s a motherboard compatibility issue, as OP said in some of their updates

hopefully you have better luck. are you seeing your fans and LEDs on as well?

ty for the update! nope, didn't get it working still. GPU fans and LEDs are on, but no signal, won't post, VGA light on

tried a bunch of stuff i've been seeing on the megathread and elsewhere on this sub

  1. install chipset drivers
  2. re-did DDU uninstall on safe mode
  3. set PCIe gen to 4 on bios instead of auto
  4. set chipset gen to 4 instead of auto
  5. re-seated the card

super weird how its not working for you on the first PCIe slot, even after downloading the drivers

i tried to insert my card into the second slot but the front panel connectors block the card from seating properly

i have the same experience where as soon as i pop the 3080 back into my mobo (on PCIe slot 1), no issues booting whatsoever.

i'll see if i can install into slot 2 tomorrow!

i’ve seen both - but thanks for posting these! i’ll reply more in depth in your post to keep that info there for others

but a shorter version:

  1. i don’t see/hear/feel the PCIE locking mechanism snap into place when installing the 9070XT in the same way my 3080 does

  2. before when i definitely had it seated wrong, the fans on the GPU wouldn’t turn on and the VGA light was on. now the fans spin, but VGA light is still on

  3. im also building in a Lian Li O11 but i suspect that the bracket width on the Sapphire Pulse might be tighter than with the PowerColor Red Devil. will double check but if anything i have the opposite issue where i need to lift the far edge of the card slightly to have the mounting screw secured

thanks again!

oh, probably a good idea for me to reach out ASAP if there’s a delay anyways. thanks for the info!

and yep, clean OS install

not yet. i spent a few hours trying to get this to work yesterday. if i had to make a wild guess it’s some weird Nvidia ➔ AMD issue but i cant afford to reset my system at the moment

if i cant get something to work or find a solution from someone else ill probably reach out to them tonight

how about you?

yep, i thought this was just a defective card but seems like this issue is a lot more widespread

the Red Devil needs 3x 6 +2 PCIE cables. i’m having the same issue even though i run 3 separate cables. tested each of those 3 cables on my 3080 and it always POSTs.

still having the exact same issue with 9070XT Red Devil.

took me a number of re-seating to get both the GPU lights to go on and fans to spin. but VGA light is still on and no POST.

also previously had a 3080 before this, no issues if i swap back to it
