Hello
As I've been testing rigs recently I've noticed an odd trend. I've got a Radeon RX 480 8GB reference card, which I've used for a few solid years of gaming in a Gigabyte board, but [older] Asus boards ignore it entirely, and my newest ASRock board only lets it work in the bottom slot.
The exact boards ;
ASUS P8Z68-V PRO : No display
ASUS M5A97-R2.0 : No display
ASRock Z370 Extreme4 : No display in top slot, works fine in bottom slot
Gigabyte GA-78LMT USB3 : works fine
Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 (Rev 1.0 and R5) : works fine
Why might this be? The card works totally fine in my gigabyte boards, and other cards work fine in the other boards. This reference card is the only GPU that needs to be in a specific motherboard to work.
