New fury xx, no signal to Asus mg279

[carlazai]

So just got a new fury x to go with new Asus mg279. The monitor was working perfectly with mini hdmi on the old 290 but no signal when I plugged the new fury x in. I have tried a normal hdmi cable and still no signal. Any ideas why no signal to monitor? Pc has booted to Windows log in fine.

How can you tell its logged in fine without a monitor signal?

Did you delete the drivers for the 290 first?

 

[carlazai]

No I left drivers on. There is no signal even at boot. Should I put old card in and try again with deleting drivers. The lights on keyboard did the usual flash on off for when booting

This might sound silly, but considering that the MQ279 has two HDMI in, is there any chance that you have now plug a cable into the other HDMI port, and forgot to change the input source (i.e. HDMI 1, HDMI 2)?

Also I don't think HDMI connection has high enough bandwidth for 144Hz at 2560 res, so shouldn't you really be using displayport instead?

Yes i have a display port, a mini and a hdmi cable plugged in. No signal on all the channels.

I have used the 6 to 8 pin adapter that came with the card as the game cable had only 1 x 8 pin and 1 x 6 pin

Pc works fine with the old card in place.

Looking in the PSU box it comes with 1 x 8 pin PCIE cables with 2 of them. Should i plug both in so 2 x cables going into the card from the psu?

When you have the Fury X installed and get no signal to the monitor, could you may be try unplugging the HDMI from the Fury and plug into the onboard HDMI, just to check to make sure if the display have not somehow gone to the onboard graphic instead?

Try a BIOS update.

Doing a bios update now.

Do you think that https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-004-EA has enough power on 1 cable to run this card or could it need 2 cable?

 

[RJC]

Does the lead on this psu have two sets of plugs?

If yes, you be ok assuming both are plugged in.

It only has cables 1 x 6 pin and 1 x 8 pin, so i used the 6 to 8 pin adapter that came with the gfx card. I was surprised for a modern psu that it only comes with 1 x 6 pin and 1 x 8 pin cables, no 2 x 8pin

Problem solved, needed both pcie cables to power the card. Many thanks to all that helped
