just bought a secondhand 6700xt off a marketplace
my display says "no cable connected" after turning it on

could it be lack of power from the psu?

i did clean uninstall the previous driver with ddu before i changed the gpu that i already sold

im using this specs
i5 12400f stock fan
sapphire nitro+ 6700xt 12gb
16gb 3200mhz ram
1tb Hdd
500gb ssd
super flower 550w bronze king psu
 
Did you connect and plug the PCI-E 6/8-PIN power connectors/cables to the GPU slot from the PSU ?

Edit: What about the Monitor's cable connection to the GPU ?

What about the Monitor's cable connection to the GPU port ? HDMI/DP cables, as applicable ? Are they connected properly ? Was the GPU in proper working condition before you bought it ?
 
oh my gosh, didnt know what i did earlier
i just tried replugging it, but i tried loosening the port plate a bit lower.

i think it was because of the dp cable not fully plugged in

That's happened at least once to everyone because the cards have all that leeway when screwing the mounting plate down. It's happened to me more times than I would like to count or admit... 😉👍

You have to appreciate how Super Flower does the opposite of a lot of companies in that they make excellent PSUs that *sound* like weird knockoffs.
I think that it's because they use very Asian-sounding names and so too do most weird knockoffs. 😊

There used to be an auto shop in town called "A1 4U" (the owners were from Hong Kong) and the first thing that went through my (admittedly filthy) mind was "Add 'BB' and it would be a perfect webcam girl screen name!". 🤣

It just goes to show us that even though we humans programmed the internet, the internet has also programmed us. 😉👍
