Motherboard not detecting graphics card

[patrickdmarkey]

I just finished my first build and when i did the first power on everything indicated it has power. I hooked up the monitor via display port to the onboard slot and setup the bios. After that I installed the drivers and that is where i ran into the problem. I went into the BIOS and in the GPU Configuration page it shows no card in the PCIe slot. i checked the second slot and still nothing. When i try installing the correct drivers it tells me it cannot detect any AMD hardware and exits.

Here is a list of things I've tried:
Plugged the Graphics card into a different PCIe slot, no luck.
Made sure the BIOS is up to date, no luck.
Checked the Device Manager for hidden devices, nothing.
Updated Windows 10, no luck.
tried installing drivers from Asus and AMD, same result.
Made sure the OS, BIOS, and what drivers I could install were all booting from the same hard drive, no luck.
These were all based off of solutions I've found on this and other sites

Additional info for you:
The graphics card is an Asus Radeon Strix Vega 64
The MOBO is an Asus Maximus X Hero Wifi AC
When i plug the display cable into the GPU nothing displays
I checked to make sure the ports and pins on the card aren't damaged
I looked for the DIMM switch but i did not see any on this particular motherboard

I've been around computers a long time but this is definitely a first. I'm hoping the brilliant minds here can help me out. Thank you in advance.

At any point have you actually connected your DisplayPort cable to the graphics card itself?

I'm not aware of too many BIOS' actually stating that there's a GPU installed (or what it is).

This card has 2 display ports on it and when I connect the cable to it there is no picture. I've tried restarting with it already plugged in and the same result in both ports. This card has leds on it and they all light up as well so i know the card is getting power and is connected properly

Ok, just making sure. I assumed that would've been the first attempt, but you didn't expressly state so wanted to cover off the obvious.

Can you post your full system specs?
