I recently bought a cheap ATI Firepro V4900 and it came with a displayport to vga cable adapter, I installed it on my motherboard and plugged in the adapter and my monitor, changed the bios settings and installed the drivers but there's no display, the graphics card is recognized in windows device manager and it shows its specs in speccy, cpu-z and gpu-z. I wonder if it is possible that those programs could detect a gpu that doesn't work or if it's the displayport to vga cable adapter that doesn't work. Thanks
Is my GPU dead?

Am I missing something?
How can you change bios settings if your monitor does not work?
Any graphics card has a default low res mode that works without any driver.
Perhaps your monitor has an input selection option menu and is not automatically detecting the graphics card.
Try using a dvi to vga cable or adapter.
VGA needs the analog outputs that I think DP will not have.
But if such an adapter came with the card, I suppose it should work.

I changed the bios settings with my monitor hooked to the motherboard output and after I set the gpu as the primary video adapter and reboot I get no display from gpu or motherboard output, I have to take the gpu out again to get a display from the onboard graphics. I'm a noob to all of this but I feel like the adapter's the problem, I'll have to check with a DVI to VGA adapter to see of that works, btw thanks for your answer.
