I usually assemble a PC using only the essential components to test the boot process, then gradually add the rest. That means motherboard, RAM, CPU, one hard drive. Until now I always required a GPU too.
After it starts up, I include additional items like extra storage and the GPU.
Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful. I’d be returning parts for replacement.
Good luck.
It was an odd occurrence. I managed to make it work by linking HDMI to the motherboard, even though the GPU remains in place. I’m not sure why this is effective, but connecting the display port straight to the GPU doesn’t seem to help. I plan to adjust this after a BIOS update tomorrow. I’m uncertain whether I’m relying solely on integrated graphics or the dedicated GPU now. Anyway, it’s only running at 240Hz because that’s the maximum HDMI can achieve.
I’ve shared a previous post when I had no display at all. Now I managed to get a display from the PC, but using HDMI 2.0 connected to the motherboard didn’t work. It wasn’t the GPU. Whenever I try to connect either DP or HDMI to the GPU, I just get no signal and the VGA diode lights red. Before I discovered that the motherboard supports it, there was also a 99 debug code when trying to use the GPU. I haven’t tested yet if that code is gone now if I try again. I’m not sure, but I think there’s no diode when using an HDMI-MOBO connection. I’d like to switch to DP because it’s 360Hz instead of the 250Hz from HDMI 2.0, and correct me if I’m wrong—maybe I should check for a BIOS update or new drivers.
Drivers are for the OS (Windows). If you don't have any display, it's not a driver issue. Also, a X870 motherboard should be able to run a 5070 Ti without the need of a BIOS update, but it cost nothing to try. Since you have a display with the integrated graphics it should be a piece of cake to flash it.
If you get a display when connected to the motherboard (yes, it's the CPU integrated graphics and has nothing to do with your GPU) but nothing from the GPU, it might be a power issue with the GPU. Are you 100% sure the cables are well plugged in? Are you using the 12VHPWR to 3x8-pin adapter that came with the card? If you do, make sure you are using different cables to connect to the adapter, not connectors on the same cable. Does the RGB on the card light up?
By the way, it's quite bad to ask for a particular forum member when someone else is trying to help you out. And Lutfij is wrong time to time, like anybody else.
I'm connecting the 12VHPWR directly to my GPU since the PSU included it, and the RGB is turning on.
