New GFX card Error

by bAnga • 29 Feb 2012, 16:58 • Journals
I got my new GFX card got now the XFX HD Radeon 6790 but there is 1 problem.
He doesn't see my second screen.
My nutrition is like 500WAT of power and I am afraid that I need to buy a new one to fix this problem.
BUT if I look on the internet many people has the same problem, how can I fix this? or do I have to buy a new nutrition :/

My lovely old XFX HD Radeon 5770 was broke ;( thats why it was so warm ;(

i bet it has something to do with CCC (catalyst control center).

Should I delete the drivers first & install the right one? because I didn't deleted them I just updated them.

If I didn't had PCI-E 16x the gfx card won't fit.
You can't help me indeed.

Hmm, I am using 2 monitors right now aswell (On a 4890 HD), Try to change the cables on them (Switch places). And are you sure that the monitor it doesnt see is plug and play?
▼
bAnga 29 Feb 2012, 17:35
Did that, then the other will go on & the other isn't
I just called the store and they said it isn't my power supply
Parent

Domi 29 Feb 2012, 17:37
Then I guess one of the ports is bad (Since when you switch ports/cables, it can see the other one?)
Parent

bAnga 29 Feb 2012, 17:38
Jups.

Domi 29 Feb 2012, 17:39
You could try to fool around with a cable that splits in 2.
Parent
▼
bAnga 29 Feb 2012, 17:40
Naah, Its not the cable I hope.

You got 2 slots like this
- & -

the first one is working the second isn't.
Every screen is working on 1 & 2 isn't working.
U understand it now?:(

My memory says that you made "need new PC"-journal yesterday or the day before it.
Since you made it I dont think you've bought new parts to your PC. This is spam.

Sure the 2 screen isnt broken? try switch screens, cables, uninstall driver and install it again.
▼
Thomm 29 Feb 2012, 17:51
What ports does it have? DVI, HDMI, displayport? And via what have you plugged in the screens?
▼
Levin 29 Feb 2012, 18:06
Did you try turning it off and on again?

Also turn off overclocking in catalyst

AMD is way better than Nvidia for value, perf/price. but idd in few games, nvidia is more optimised (eventho there are drivers coming a month or smth after the games come out)

in the past, ATI had a drivers(or atleast something to add with control catalist...) to get it working. Maybe it isn't needed anymore
