I decided it was time to upgrade my gpu from a 5770 to the 7870. After looking a bit I decided to go with HIS.

My issue is that I get nothing on screen. PC works fine, i've swapped back the old 5770 to test and make sure. I have no on board video in my pc.

Current PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152036

My thoughts are because the PSU uses a Y connector for the x2 six pins. So maybe the card isn't getting enough power so I need a molex to 6 pin connector for the second 6 pin slot on the videocard? That is the only thing I can think of.

I've also been testing with the HDMI on a 1080p tv + with my monitor cables that are VGA with the DVI connector that came with the card.


Other specs:
8 GB quad channel ram
I7-3930k

Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any info!
