I was recently tricked by eBay into purchasing a faulty GPU (details omitted). They assured me of a refund, but I prefer attempting repairs first. When I inquired with the seller about the problem, they explained that the issue stemmed from the GPU being installed in an incorrect PCI slot, along with changed cables and monitor. Since my CPU lacks integrated video support, I’m limited to basic troubleshooting. They mentioned trying firmware updates or BIOS changes but emphasized I’d rather fix it than return it if feasible?
This model is an RX-6800xt and it's on its way today. I'm preparing a checklist of items to test first.
I’d want to understand what the seller is referring to regarding DVI. The card in question doesn’t support DVI, so the first thing I’d do is check it carefully without taking it apart. If it appears undamaged, I’d try fitting it into a computer that has either integrated graphics or another GPU. You might need to adjust the system settings before adding the GPU to make it work properly.
You can place the RX 6800xt in the first slot of the second slot on your GTX 760.
second position, essentially you're linking a monitor to each GPU, ensuring it reaches the OS, and checking for a display output from the AMD card. If no drivers are needed, that's a strong indication. Once drivers are installed, test functionality—run diagnostics or tests. If everything functions smoothly, remove the NVIDIA and verify proper booting. This process should follow a logical path; any breakdowns will help pinpoint the issue.
