Which pci slot do i put my hd7850 in???

krnbbq · Jul 7, 2013

Hi, i have a radeon hd 7850 (amd radeon hd7850 oc version, 2gb gddr5) and am running dual monitors both on 1920 × 1080. My mobo has PCIEx16 and PCIE 3.0 x4. Also is it wiser to connect both my monitors to my gfx or my main to my gfx and my 2nd monitor to my inbuilt mobo gfx?
Im very new to the computer world and only recently built my computer. Thanks.

You put your GPU into the top slot which will fit it. It goes into the PCIe 2.0/3.0 x16 slot.
You should connect both monitors to the GPU for the best performance.

Thanks guys!! One problem though. I reset my cmos and now im getting no signal to my monitor. When I put my gfx into the other pci slot it sends a signal and when I connect my monitor to the inbuilt mobo gfx, I get signal. Anyone know what the problem is?? Thanks

You need to go into bios, set primary display to PEG or PCIE, and disable onboard graphics.

Turn off the computer, plug the monitor to the video card, and restart.
