Hi,
Upgrading my HP Z400 graphic card from Nvidia Quadro FX 380 to Radeon Eyefinity HD6870, just installed it minutes ago, and I'm not getting any screen image when entering win 7, what could be the problem?

I've also added more RAMs total of 4 x 4G before was 2 x 2G, 1 mini display port to DVI adaptor. The Z400 PSU is a 475W.

Hi Mand3ss795,
Yes I have, The PSU has 1 x 6 pin pci express power cable, for the other 6 pin connector I use a 4 to 6 adpator.
I called HP and he said Z400 supports most of the V series of Firepro, so does that mean HD6870 is not supported?

HD6870 is a Readon card, not a Firepro card ( although you can mod the 6870 into a Firepro card, but that's risky and may void your warranty, so lets not talk about that here ). But being a workstation doesn't limit the Z400 from using Readon cards, as seen here it's normal to use a gaming VGA card on the Z400. Have you tried to put this 6870 of yours to another system?
