Some information:
-CPU Z recognizes my graphics card being plugged in, but it shows no clock information
-I can only use my monitors vga graphics card (?)
-No graphics card to be found in device manager
-All cables are properly plugged in
-I uninstalled all drivers using amd's own software
-I tried to reinstall drivers (which by itself worked) but the card is not being recognised

Why did you uninstall the drivers in the first place? Was there a problem? There's no reason to update drivers on a 6xxx series AMD card since it's a legacy card and no new drivers are being made for it.

If the card is not being recognized, I suggest booting into the motherboard bios with the 6850 installed but the monitor connected to the integrated graphics. Go to the 'advanced' and usually 'chipset' section. You should see that your primary display adapter is the integrated graphics but also that the 6850 is detected. If it IS being detected there, disable the integrated graphics and save your changes. Now shut down and connect the monitor to the videocard. Boot up in to Windows and install your drivers, the correct ones I hope.
