Graphic card compatability

[Emma_5]

Will a Asus AMD Radeon R9 390X STRIX 8GB GDDR5 PCIe 3.0 Graphics Card work with my Asus Z97 pro gamer 1150 socket?

yes aslong as you have PCI E x16 slots, your board has 3. Not only one But your board can have 2 390X cards running at the same time for double the power.

Cool, thank you. Was asking as can't get it working so was going to return it before messing about with finding why it's not working. Must be window 7 driver issues?

are you plugging it into the top PCIe slot?

And and are you plugging the monitor to the GPU directly or are you plugging it to the motherboard?
Plug HDMI cable or whatever cable your using into the back of the graphics card

Am plugged in the second PCIe slot, I'm using the USB3 port on the Mboard so want fit in the top slot, I am using the HDMI in the Mboard at the mo as don't get a picture from the being plugged in the back of the card?

your supposed to plug Graphics cards in to the top PCIe slot, otherwise it wont work

And your supposed to plug the cable into the card not the motherboard. you use the motherbaord if you dont have a graphics card.

see the line that says 3

Plug your card into that top slot

 

[Emma_5]

Ok, will get back after trying that, will have to remove cable for USB3.

Cool, that's it working fine, read the Mboard book and says single card has to be top slot. Thanks for your help and quick replies. Cheers
