Edit: nowhere in the text did it mention a bios switch on the card. Have that a poke and I'm up and running.
So my limited upgrades arrived today. Just finished installing a 600w power supply and the computer boots fine. The card requires a 500w PSU so I overshot in case I do any overclocking. Turn secure boot off, install a R9 280 3G card, and no boot but gpu has power. No video on built in gpu either. Remove card and PC boots right up. What am I missing? |

SOLVED! Little bastard has a bios mode switch hidden on the GPU. Pushed it in and we're rolling. Nice...Now get your nerd on and start gaming!!! Drivers are going now. Eventually I'll build a new tower, but I've got 8gb ram, and a 3.4ghz haswell dual running hyperthreading that should kick some serious ass. Considering the CPU was stock, a few tweaks to this Acer tower (wife bought it for me last Christmas) it should kick some ass on gaming. Need to build a whole new tower for Star Citizen though. |
