So I recently got the Xfx Radeon 7870 card and I went to put it in my computers and when I first started my pc it did not get detected and then I check device manager and still nothing. I've remounted the card in and checked if any pins were broken and all looked fine. Also the fans are currently working in the card.
Any advice on what to do would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Should of mentioned I have the AAHD2-HY (Holly 2) motherboard in case anyone knows much about that board.

Did you go to AMD's website and install the drivers for it?

Sorry for the delay went to bed and just got home I updated all the recommended drivers but the beta drivers for catalyst and I'm still not finding it.

I should also mention that in my device manager under display adapters it is showing AMD Radeon 6530D I tried disabling it and restarting so I need to uninstall it for it to let my card run?

Yes I would uninstall that driver because they can have a conflict if you don't.

I just uninstalled the AMD Radeon 6530D from my device manager and rebooted, card still did not show in device manager. When I was starting up I had the monitor plugged into the card it did not pick up anything.

I finally figured out what was wrong the directions said I only needed to plug in one 6 pin PSU cord when I actually HAD to have two plugged in but now the screen seems slightly blurry/fuzzy.
