Pny 3090 not working with MSI Z490

[dimitri18]

Hi all,

I recently got a new system and my Pny 3090 isn’t detected.

my old EVGA 2080 super works no issues, but the 3090 isn’t detected at all and the computer won’t boot

my PSU is an Asus 850w and CPU i7 10700k with 32gb ram

would check bios updates, new cards can have bios updates to fix these issues

there is a newer bios for the PNY.

Did a BOIS update and put the card into my other computer. I don’t know why this is happening

NVflash to update bios, if its the ones that were in stock this week at ocuk, mine came with that bios on.

How can I do this if the card won't even turn on at all? It isn't regonized by any motherboard nor will the fans spin at all

you would need another card in the other pci slot to do it, but id just return it, its obviously faulty. From my experience the PNY is not a good card, im returning mine.

Okay I plan on driving to the overclockers office in the morning to see what they can do. I really need this for my business so its not good...already had to wait a week for it to come with next day shipping then my case came busted up and had to wait on that as well....

out of interest, did yours come with pci-e cover and plugs for the ports on the back?

No it didn't

I high key regret buying this Pny card. I've always used Evga from the 9800 gt to my 2080 super. Never had an issue. Pny is jank

mate, the card was terrible, its got the lower power rating of any of the cards, it ran hot, it performed rubbish, im getting better fps in some games on the 3080 i replaced it with and its quieter and cooler than the 3090 was.

 

[dimitri18]

yeah, never again.

Also I notice today while searching about this the other 3090 cards have 3 8pin connectors while this one only has 2! That was a huge redflag to me earlier

Least I got a 2080 to hold me over. Might even go AMD if no real stock gets in time
