Try downloading this software and after that restart and run the software to see if the LED’s work. Even so they’re suppose to work even without the software installed.

If that doesn’t work try to DDU the card and reinstall the latest drivers for it, if that doesn’t work then it might be a hardware problem or maybe the model you have doesn’t have LED’s which it should have.

i tried teh rgb 2 fusion stuff from ggabayte.. nothing no response from teh card its still black.

so what are the possibilities.. i got it new sealed. but no leds.. ? i mean the warranty stickers are still on so no one tampered with the cards. should i rma it?
 
it is exactly like that
like that, or is that exact model number?
there's always a chance there is an updated version of that model and RGB could have only been added to the later revision(s).

all of the latest 6800 XT Gigabyte cards except the base version have some RGB options.
if you do in fact have the latest GAMING OC model, than you have an issue.

i would contact Gigabyte and troubleshoot the problem with them.
if they decide an RMA is the best option for you, you then need to decide if that little Gigabyte symbol not lighting up is worth possibly being without the card for who knows how long.
if they can guarantee a short return period, maybe go ahead.

If this is your card it has no rgb
variety of AMD RX 6800 XT models coming onto the market. Just very slowly. Some have mega power delivery systems for overclocking, while others are tuned for silent and cool running. Others still demand to be shown off in all their RGB glory inside windowed the one in the photo is none rgb if thats the one you have it's not rgb sorry.

Yeah your card is deffective rma the card. Or send back to seller for replacement... However good luck getti g the seller to replace they dont follow the law 99% of the time when it comes to the keep a replacement for each card sold for deffect reasons... No no no that means they lose money forget that people never get broken cards in shipping sell them all.....
