Question Video card compatible?

[crack1379]

I have an ASUS Z790 Gaming WIFI7 motherboard and I’m trying to install a Gigabyte GeForce RTX3060 Gaming OC12G (rev 2.0) and I keep getting a “no signal” on my monitor. Are these compatible?

Yes, they should be compatible. Are you connecting your monitor to the newly installed GPU? Have you changed any BIOS settings? Have you connected the 8-pin power cable to the GPU?

Yes the monitor is connected to theGPU, but this is a new build and I can’t even get into the BIOS. I’m planning to install Win 11 Pro , if I can get a picture on my monitor. I’ve changed my HDMI cable with no luck. I’ve also swapped out the video card, no help.

Is it possible that my monitor, Acer KA272 is not compatible? It is several years old.

No.

You can start by trying to see if you can use iGPU, to do that - remove the card and connect your monitor to the motherboard. See if you at least get some results from that.

No luck. Do you think my Motherboard could be DOA

Might as well tell us your complete specs. May have an incompatible CPU in that motherboard.

Unlikely.

Start the usual investigation process, clear CMOS (there should be a switch usually nowadays for that), check your board make noises when you turn on PC, check if fans spin, remove all RAM sticks and only leave one in, so on and so forth.

GPU will come later, after you actually manage to get something going with iGPU.

Your CPU does have iGPU, I hope? It's not one of them KF CPUs?

And yes, might as well provide full specs.

I’m using an Intel i9, 12th gen , i9-12900KF, LGA 1700. Memory is Kingston Fury Renegade DDR5, 7200 MT/s, 64 GB (4x16GB).

motherboard?

usually it pays to give us full system specs !

Well if it's KF CPU, then there is no iGPU there, so back to guessing with GPU.

That RAM maybe giving you issues. Try booting with only 1x DIMM (module) installed.

hi
some new motherboards see the 3060 cards as "legacy" so you would need to go into bios.... then advance to "boot" and check it so all other devices are "legacy" .. try this it should sort it...

if not the other issues could be your cable. , is it "hdmi", "Displayport", "dvi". you should try all of them

when computer it turned on does it boot fully into windows? i know you have no display.. but you can check my looking at keyboard lights " if numb lock is on" , try pressing "caps lock" if that lights up.. your into windows (well the login screen if thats setup). this means its the drivers for the graphics card.. if noting its lite up.. then its another issues.

Motherboard is ASUS Z790 Gaming WIFI7. I just got off the phone with ASUS support and if I want to use all 4 memory slots, there is only 1 kind of memory which is $600+. I’m going to just use 2 slots and it will cost me $130. I can’t believe there is only one specific memory stick that will work with all 4 slots.
