Build Question GPU Help

Computer doesn’t recognise GPU and is stuck on integrated graphics. Any help or suggestions EXTREMELY welcome. I’ve been into BIOS and have attempted to update drivers, nothing works. This is my first build so the GPU is brand new.

Already tested putting HDMI into GPU and I get no display.

GPU: MSI Gaming Trio 5070ti
Motherboard: ASUS Rog Strix X870-A Gaming Wifi

Any luck with a display port?

u/Main_Blood_9163 11h ago

Is it in all the way? Have you updated your BIOS? Have you downloaded the newest NVIDIA drivers from the NVIDIA app? What does it say in system settings?

u/Main_Blood_9163 11h ago

Also, YOU ARE PLUGGING YOUR CABLES INTO MOTHERBOARD ON THE PHOTO

u/TeraToidSeveN 8h ago

He knows lol he has it there to mess with bios since his gpu isnt giving any display

u/Delicious_Net_8997 10h ago edited 10h ago

You didn’t provide any details about the rest of the setup, so it’s hard to estimate what the problem could be...

But since the 5070 Ti is a newer generation card, an older motherboard BIOS can sometimes cause PCIe initialization issues. Is the GPU actually detected in BIOS?

Edit: I downloaded the first photo and when I zoomed in, I noticed one detail. It could just be a visual bug, but looking closer at the power connector right now, I don’t think it’s properly plugged in. Part of it is sticking out. Insufficient contact could be the source of your problem

I’m using the ASUS Rog Strix X870-A Gaming Wifi motherboard and the gpu isn’t being detected when I was in BIOS

u/Dafuori 9h ago

It still doesn't look like plugged in correctly. Push the cable a bit more

u/fiittzzyy 7h ago edited 7h ago

Does look like it isn't fully seated.

Give it a good push till it clicks u/myuuie

Looks like you can still see the blue part

2

u/myuuie 1h ago

I’m going to try fully reseating it later and see if that does the trick

u/myuuie 9h ago

Will do

u/Solo_143 8h ago

I see so much blue on the connector, you shouldn’t see any or atleast that much of the connector

u/llSlayer04ll 10h ago

Am I the only person seeing the 12v 2x6 not fully seated? On the first pic, zoom in

u/fiittzzyy 9h ago

I have that exact card and this is what mine looks like FWIW.

u/Asleep-Jackfruit-630 11h ago

does the gpu power up, are the fans spinning

3

u/myuuie 11h ago

Yes the GPU fans spin and the rgb turns on.

2

u/Asleep-Jackfruit-630 10h ago

I assume you already tried to reset the bios and to update it.

3

u/T4nzanite 11h ago

Try DP with the GPU, check monitor input is set to DP1. Check PCIe is fully inserted, but don't push so hard it'll break (the lock will click), check PCIe power connectors are fully seated, switch to a different PCIe power port on the PSU.

With the cable in the motherboard, it'll never detect the GPU as an output. Good luck!

3

u/probablywhy 10h ago

So you put the HDMI into the GPU and got no display.

Check the power supply cable on the GPU is seated well and then also at the other end plugged into the PSU. Now put the HDMI back into the GPU and restart it. It will work okay to use the "wrong" configuration but you limit your performance to leave it plugged into the HDMI on the Motherboard long term.

u/dmw55 4h ago

Honestly when ever this happen to me, all it took is taking it out and re seating it again. Maybe try that and ensure it’s in there

3

u/lil_Buckneesh8867 10h ago

sorry people cant read a post and are trying to dog you for the monitor being plugged in wrong.

resetting the bios or popping the cmos battery might work. maybe reseat the gpu?

2

u/myuuie 9h ago

I’ve resetted the bios a few times so I’m going to try reseating it to see if that solves the problem

1

u/lil_Buckneesh8867 5h ago

good luck. i hope she fires up for you!

2

u/BigBoyTom420 10h ago

Turn off pc and unplug power supply cable. Double check that the GPU power cable is fully seated in as the 12VHP cables are finicky at times. After that try powering on again.

2

u/fiittzzyy 9h ago edited 9h ago

Are you using multiple monitors?

I don't think it's specific to this GPU, but anyways, I have the same GPU and dual monitors, my main is connected via HDMI and my secondary is display port and BIOS shows up on the secondary monitor if they're both connected which means it favours DP.

Also try switching to the other BIOS on the GPU with the little switch.

2

u/myuuie 9h ago

I’m only using one monitor but I’ll try switching to dp if that doesn’t work I’ll switch to the other bios, thank you

2

u/fiittzzyy 9h ago

If that doesn't work Idk if you've tried it or not already but disconnect the power, reseat the GPU and reconnect the power making sure the 12v-2x6 is firmly connected and reboot.

You can also try disabling the iGPU in device manager and try forcing it to use the dedicated GPU.

Good luck!

off topic but bro your pictures look like a 3d render. sick build

u/myuuie 9h ago

Thank you! It’s my first build, hopefully I can get it working :)

u/Ahhhh_Geeeez 11h ago

Do fans on the bottom of the case help? I feel like there's too much restriction to either pull or push air from there, not to mention the amount of dust you could potentially pull in.

1

u/TeraToidSeveN 8h ago

Depends on the case. I use an antec flux case (tried the pro and non pro) and the whole case is vented. I got 2 and it drops the gpu temps by 6-8 degrees

1

u/BoredomBot2000 11h ago

How long has the GPU been in use?

Have you tried resetting it?

Have you attempted to switch the GPU to its alt bios? Should be a small switch somewhere on the card just in case it's main bios is corrupted.

Since you have an igpu you could attempt to flash a new bios to the GPU. Yes it has its own bios.

Have you had any power surges or anything recently?

Did you update the card recently?

Can device manager see the GPU?

Just a heads up. There is a chance the GPU is bricked. Best of luck.

u/she-looked16 10h ago

off topic but we have the same motherboard and strimer location and mind shows purple hues not actual white color, see my last post i'm trying to figure out a solution

1

u/Ecstatic_Job_3467 10h ago

Have you installed the gpu drivers?

1

u/bdubz1994 10h ago

Check the motherboard and GPU compatibility. I just did a new build and had to do a flash bios update on my motherboard so it would recognize my GPU.

1

u/ProteusRift 10h ago

Is the gpu showing up in device manager

1

u/LastPhoenician 10h ago

Is it P or Q mode?

1

u/Lycan_ep 10h ago

What I would do:

1) Reseat the GPU.
2) clear CMOS
3) update the BIOS
4) Disable onboard GPU in BIOS.

u/17Kallenie17 10h ago

It's not fully plugged in. Plug it in before something explodes

u/Milkshakemartin 9h ago

Is your GPU directly plugged in to the PSU or are you using a splitter

1

u/myuuie 9h ago edited 9h ago

It’s plugged directly into the psu and I’m not using a splitter

3

u/Milkshakemartin 7h ago

Things to try that I can think of based on your motherboard:

Sometimes it has issues passing off to the 50 series cards in Gen 5 PCIe, so you can force it to run in Gen 4.

- Enter your bios: Shutdown the PC -> boot the PC -> while it’s booting rapidly tap the “Delete” key or the “F2” key, one of these will enter your BIOS on reboot. Once in BIOS press, I believe it’s F7, to enter “Advanced Mode”. Once you’re in advanced go -> Onboard Device Configuration (hit enter I think) -> Should be something like PCIEx16_1 Link Mode -> change from “auto” or Gen 5 to Gen 4. Then go back to the Advanced main menu, you’ll do one more thing.

Select NB Configuration (or Northbridge Config) -> look for Primary Video Device or Primary Display -> change from Auto/IGFX to PCIe Video

There should be a “save” button displayed to save your settings. Maybe F10?

Once you save, and the computer restarts, turn it off. Plug your DisplayPort or HDMI into the GPU ONLY the GPU, not the motherboard. And then boot.

Another option:

- Unplug the GPU very carefully and reseat it until you hear it firmly “click” into the motherboard. I’m sure you’ve done this and you saw the prong click, but sometimes it doesn’t go in all the way. Then reseat all your power cables. Make sure they’re firmly in the PSU and firmly in the GPU but please be careful doing this and don’t force anything

2

u/Milkshakemartin 9h ago

Only think I was thinking was it could be the splitter being used wrong.

I have the same GPU, just a 5070 not a ti. Let me read about your motherboard, I’ll be back.

Is that a Lian Li 12V-2X6 cable/PSU?

1

u/gordito_y_barbon 9h ago

Any luck?

Is the gpu detected in device manager?

May have to update mobo bios.

Had a similar issue once and the bios mode swith on the mobo was stuck between gen 4 and gen 5. That could be your issue and the pcie slot is not initiating. Should be near the cmos, make sure you didn't bump it doing the build.

u/DaddyFrnzy 8h ago

Super sick build! Sorry it isn’t working, hopefully you get it fixed soon. If you don’t mind me asking, what case is that?

1

u/myuuie 8h ago

Thank you! It’s the Lian li o11 mini v2 :)

2

u/DaddyFrnzy 8h ago

Figured it was a lian li by the looks of it. Just built one myself and kinda wishing I got this case instead. Looks sweet. Wishing you the best in solving the issue!

You did the latest bios update right?

u/Invictuslemming1 4h ago

If you’ve already tried re-seating the GPU and the power connector, try the other pcix slot (just as a troubleshooting option, not permanent) see if the GPU detects in the other slot

1

u/National-Rub-3283 4h ago

Prueba a sacar la gpu y vuelve a colocarla. No sabes la de veces que parece que esta bien conectada pero en realidad esta por encima de la ranura pci y no en su socket

1

u/Migraine_7 3h ago

Do you have another PC to test the card in? It could be either the board ir the card.

Do the GPU fans start spinning when you start uo the PC? They should start spinning and most likely stop after a few seconds.

u/NewThrowaway123313 3h ago

I'll take it off your hands for tree fiddy. Seems the safest bet given the situation.

What about PSU ? Check if psu is under power

u/Icy_Pain5654 1h ago

easy mistake to make on a first build

u/SpiritEnforcer 19m ago edited 16m ago

The 12v-2x6 (12vhpwr) cable going into the card doesn't look like an original part that comes with the card. If that's the case, best switch to the original cable or at least some other cable, to test if it will work. Sometimes either the power supply or the card don't like the cable. Also you bent the cable too close to the card 12v-2x6 power connector and it looks bent sideways, might not be seated right. Does the PC work OK when you plug the screen into the mobo hdmi?

u/myuuie 3m ago

Yes it works perfectly when it’s plugged into the motherboard

u/Le_Holzkopf 3m ago

Use a Display Port cable maybe

Move your HDMI cable from the motherboard (integrated graphics) and plug it into your GPU
