Question Raedon RT 6700 XT NOT WORKING!!! HELP!!!

[Richard8971]

OK, I bought a new setup.

ASUS TUF Gaming X570-PRO (WiFi 6)

AMD Ryzen 7 5800

Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB DDR 4

Thermaltake Smart Pro RGB 850W 80+ PS

I bought a Sapphire RT 6700 XT video card and the white led light stays on (on the motherboard). No fans, no video.

Just to test, I took my Sapphire RX 580 out of my other PC and plugged it in and it works perfectly. Video, boot... everything.

I figured it was a bad card so I returned it and bought another card... ugh same result.

I bought another card a Gigabye Rt 6700 XT and also the SAME RESULT!!!

I plugged all 3 cards into my ASUS 450 comptuer and they do not work... none...

I have updated the BIOS on the TUF gaming... I have unplugged just about everything and still the same result. The MB is straight out of the box as far as settings go.

WHY WON'T THIS WORK????

Only thing I can come up with is the PS, but the cards do not work in my other PC's.

The manual on the ASUS motherboard suggested a 1000w or higher card for certain setups (higher end cards)... could this be the problem? Nothing against the 6700 but I don't consider this a high end card... The manual on the card suggests a 650w PS or higher... ????

Ideas? Anyone?

I simply cannot imagine I got 3 bad cards in a row....

Don’t know much on one thermaltake psu, but I’ve got a Corsair rmx 850 and it had no issues with my old 6700xt or my new to me 3080.
