I have teh gigabyte oc 6800xt. it works fine been gaming for 3 days straight no crashes or hangs.. but im annoyed i can't see the led .. no led i switched the bios switch from silent to oc still no led. how do i get this led to turn on..

im using b550 tuf gaming mobo.. and isn't it supposed to be plug and play.

Gigabyte's software is quite uncooperative generally and there have been reported RGB issues with the Aorus software with recent cards. I've personally had occasional issues with getting my Gigabyte 3070 to show up in RGB Fusion (on my old rig). Note that you may be waiting for a while to get a replacement getting the production problems, if you RMA it. I'd recommend not worrying about until such time as an RMA wouldn't leave you without a card for a month.

wel its in a phantom case. i could care less for rgb. i just wanted to know if it was broken. and now im concluding it is.

is there someone who will suggest i open it up to check if its unplugged. is there a pcb layout for this.. maybe its justunplugged or something

No not worth causing issues that arnt needed if the card works minus rgb

definately not the psu.. i just replaced the psu right now with a 750 watts one.. seasonsics s11 bronze.

while i was taking the system apart..

i noticed all the plugs were complete on teh gpu board.. so it must definately beeee a defective LED.. or a software issue of some sort..

ive updated the bios to the to latest one.. still no lights..
