Question Amd GPUs no display, Nvidia GPUs work fine.

[spider_c4]

I wanted to upgrade from gtx 960 to rx 400/500 series. When I tried a lot of different gpus from rx series all of them did not show display, even tried different psu from the repair shop, I tried ddu and bios update, GA-H61MS2P Rev. 2.0 PCI x16 Version 2.0

Try a cmos reset then install the AMD card. My old Z77 Extreme 4 would not post if you changed the GPU and didn't do a CMOS reset. IIRC my P67 Extreme 4 was the same way.

Thanks for replying. I have indeed tried that but no result. Though if that Z77 is older than my motherboard then I still have hopes to make it work somehow.

Modern graphics cards require a UEFI bios to be detected.
Your GA-H61MS2P was launched about the time legacy bios was transitioning to UEFI
Legacy bios is monochrome and text oriented.
UEFI is in color and looks like a web page.
You may have some sort of an option in the bios to handle a UEFI card.
If your bios is not current, see if an update is available that looks like it might fix your issue.

1. Use of licensed AMI EFI BIOS

Definitely a UEFI BIOS.

Does appear to be Beta BIOS with the description: Improve High End Display card compatibility, might be worth a shot.

Old BIOS were not monochrome, just very limited. Usually blue, gray/white, yellow. 8-bit color I think, but most didn't bother using all of it. Mostly for maximum display compatibility, it would be useable on a monochrome display that way, or a low resolution screen.

I have options like boot option: Legacy-UEFI. and another one making me pick between legacy or uefi OpRom
