Please read carefully!

I installed a new RTX 3060 Ti by MSI Gaming X Trio in my system. When I turn it on, it gives no display signal, the monitor just stays black. Here is what I've tried:

  • Monitor is 100% OK (tested with ps4)
  • PSU is 100% OK (swapped 550 with new 750 watts) (RM750x)
  • Drives are 100% OK (disconnected all SATA cables and used a bootable ISO of Windows)
  • GPU is 100% itself (tried on friend's system, (shares the same MOBO and CPU)) (B450 + R5 2600)
  • Tried using HDMI cables as the DP cable might be broken: still no signal from both.

I am planning to buy a new motherboard but what if it still doesn't work.
PS: Money is not in abundance.

I'd check with your friend, and if motherboard does have PCIe detection setting, what has he got it set to. But you're right, different gens should work together but this time, might be a motherboard or graphics card bug ~ as in the graphics card running in PCIe 4 mode.

These new cards are new territory for alot of people.
Did you upgrade the gpu ?
Was the system previously running?
Or
Is it all new 1st boot?
If you were running on a different card put the old card back in then use ddu.
Double check to see if there are any certain cable versions needed
Hdmi 1.4 vs 2.0
Same for dp cable.

Set DRAM XMP profile in BIOS.

Don't have old GPU (anymore laying around). Upgrade to this new card. First boot with new card: failure.
edit: system was perfectly fine before new card

The B450 Tomahawk MAX and the not-MAX version both support this card right? As in PCI-E-4 (x16), and all of that stuff, no?

A Ti would suffer damage from the power and frequencies other cards use. AMD would boost what they would see as a card with too low power for cores because of too high VRAM clock, and that was only ever dangerous with their cards

I think it comes down to the absence of all those condensers and voltage balancers to make the cddv and vram from not frying their cards. And especially the PCI-E slot I/O from not killing both of them. because 280 Amp and 1 volt has a tendency to instantly destroy any component when...micromoved.

What are you exactly saying? Is a B450 board not good?
edit: My friend has the same board so I see no problem.

AMD can always use excess power for clocking everything as high as it can, simultaneously using it for the condensation of other excessive power and for making their components seem to be performing quite well.

But it's all tricks, there's more heat, more power supply, more expensive components and in the end they seem ok. But their components need to waste power and their wasted power needs to destroy spare room in other components.

Ah yes. But still don't have any solutions. 🙁

Can you go into Bios or safe mode?

To getting into Safe Mode, do the following: Turn your computer on and off three times. While booting, make sure you turn off the computer when you see the Windows logo.

After the third time, Windows 10 will boot into diagnostics mode. Click Advanced options when the recovery screen appears.

If you can't see the bios logo or anything you may have to count 10 to 15 secs then push that power button doing that sequence 3 times to get to safe mode.

Sounds like the card is faulty to me. All things considered here, i find it strange it would be this difficult and coincidentally same outcome across two computers.

There are no bios updates addressing compatibilty fixes for either Max or regular editions. I'm sure if there was an issue, Msi would have jumped on it since Tomahawk is a popular board.

Could try reset bios by pulling the cmos battery for a couple of minutes.

There's not much else really. Maybe inspect the PCIe plugs on the card itself making sure the cables are properly connecting.

Moving forward, id try get the card tested elsewhere at a local pc shop.

Well he said he tried the gpu on his friend system.

I bought a 2070 super for my son's system before the rtx 3000 series release.
So I didn't want to go through all the ddu and reinstall on mine so I breadboarded a old fx system just to see if it would work as it would next week ( xmas ) before we install it on his system so no store return possible.

On that bd bd system any time I enable xmp it wouldn't show anything on boot.
Cleared cmos so many times and the 1 time I didn't set xmp it boots.

Op if you are still here.

From doing some reading on the evga forum 1 person was having an issue of only 1 of the dp ports giving signal.
Which was the dp port closest to the hdmi port.
He said he purchased a new dp1.4a cable and now all dp ports work as should.
Now that was about 4 weeks ago and they were working with 3080 and 3090 but still checking cable requirements should be done to eliminate it.
