How can i check that sapphire radeon RX 480 is working or not?
when i attached it into pci x16 slot. it get LED but no activity in device manager. My PSU has sufficient power. Most of device without driver display in device manager as yellow mark but my graphics card not display. I want to know that is there any way to know card is working or not except start amd setup.

No I access desktop by RDP from laptop. But I think any new device without driver, it should display in device manager.

Slightly different with graphics cards. Some motherboards will not actively enable the card (and disable the IGPU) unless you set it so in the bios, or have a monitor connected to the card and not the motherboard.

If you need both enabled (presumably you are mining), then the bios should have a setting called IGD Multi monitor.

Yes Rob, I'm trying to setup mining rig. I did not check bios setting but I will check it. and other thing is that do you say that if I connect any display with GPU then only it will detect?

Do you have a monitor plugged into the motherboard? If you disconnect that, and then shut down and start up again, it shouldnt disable the graphics card.
