4070 super asus rog strix - trying to install in PC, have no display

[subtle linden]

Yeah you should run DDU

Sometimes the GPU won't work on the first boot and you'll have to use the iGPU

I had to use it for my first boot

[upper quarry]

okay, i'll run this tool and see what happens

[subtle linden]

Drivers should be installed with the card AFAIK

[upper quarry]

i installed the drivers for the new card but that's it, haven't removed the 1080's drivers yet. issue is, i can't boot up with any display when i put in the new card so either it has to work from the get go, or nothing at all

[subtle linden]

Do you have integrated graphics?

What CPU?

[upper quarry]

not sure about that, cpu is i7-8700

ddu seems kinda sketch, not sure what i'm doing here. might have to actually just bring this to a pc tech

i see the "clean and shutdown", which would be appropriate, however, i'm worried i won't have any display thereafter

[subtle linden]

It's not

[subtle linden]

Do that

[upper quarry]

ok, i am not booted in safe mode or anything

[subtle linden]

You'll have a display. These things (PCs) are super close to being completely idiot-proof

[subtle linden]

Just click reboot in safe mode after you open the program

It will do that for you

[upper quarry]

i don't see it on the program, however, after i clean and shutdown, i just install the drivers for the new card again and it should just "work" i imagine.

[subtle linden]

Yeah it should

[upper quarry]

I ran the program, plopped in the new card, still no display. Evidently I'll put my old card back, install the 4070 drivers, retry this method I'm assuming

[subtle linden]

Yes

[upper quarry]

working on that now, i think my bios is outdated also so this might be why

[upper quarry]

Updated bios, installed new drivers, plugged in card, still no display. Now I'm confused. Think this might be going to a tech now
