so hello guys i just bought my card gigabyte radeon 7870. i installed it but i could get no picture on screen!! i read here about deactiveting the onboard graphics but when i have the 7870 on the pc i get no picture at all either the card or the onboard card. its like the one blocking the other???
can you help me with this please?
my system is:
i5 3470
gigabyte h77-ds3h
xfx550 psu
 
Solution
generally, thats usually what deactivating igpu tends to be. if in the end the gpu doesnt work, reactivate the igpu by cmos reseting without the gpu inserted.
