Says that I don't have any graphics card

[Jconks58]

My PCIE1 X16 says it empty even though my graphics card is in it. I have already tried to plug it back in but it says the same thing. I have a MSI h81m p33 motherboard and a Xfx r9 series graphics card please help

Do you connected the external power required?

According to MSI:

Your motherboard does not support R9 series.

Pcpartpicker said everything was compatible

 

[Gingerbread]

Pcpartpicker checks only if the motherboard has x16 PCI-E slot, nothing more. Also what is your PSU?

 

[Jconks58]

A corsair

 

[Jconks58]

Not sure what kind

 

[Jconks58]

Do I have to get a new graphics card

 

[Gingerbread]

Well make sure, give us full model, else we can't help.

Can you check the GPU in another system? maybe friend?

 

[Jconks58]

It is a cx500m

 

[Jconks58]

Is there anyway to make it work because I am not sure if I can return it

 

[Gingerbread]

And what is your gpu, not just r9 series, because most r9 series require more power than your pau can provide

 

[Jconks58]

It is a Xfx R9280 black of edition

 

[Gingerbread]

Have you plugged the 2 pci-e 6+2 pins into the GPU? You know it requires two of those?

 

[Jconks58]

Ill try it

 

[Jconks58]

I plugged both in and will tell u the results when I can thanks

 

[Jconks58]
