Might be a dumb question, but did you plug your input cable into the r7? Have you made sure your monitor is on the correct source input? As well did you remove all prior drivers/software for your previous card? That often causes issues.

i removed all the drivers and i have the hdmi plugged into it. it doesn't seem to start up. but when i unplug the 6 pin it starts up.
