Hi, I was trying to help a friend upgrade his PC and I bought a gigabyte r9 270 OC for his P5K SE mobo but it just doesn't seem to recognize it.
When running the Catalyst updater, it doesn't recognize the video card at all either.
help cause I don't think I can return the card :(

Yeah, there is something under "Other Devices = Video Controller (VGA compatible)".
"The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver."

Ok, all good, looks like it was just a stupid case of getting the wrong drivers online and the drivers on the disk that came with the motherboard weren't working either.
