Hello,
I have recently bought a RX480 GPU. I have 6600k CPU. But I am unable to use GPU since my AMD drivers won't install. I tried installing them with the disk that came from the box but device manager isn't showing any display adapter beside my Intel's. When I try to install the driver that I downloaded from web, it says Error 175: AMD Installer cannot continue due to unsupported AMD graphics hardware. Any solutions?
P.s. I uninstalled older drives that I have "installed".

I have no idea why you tell us what CPU you have. It has nothing to do with your graphics card.

The error you're getting is simply that the installer can't detect your new video card. Turn off your PC, and check that the card is fully inserted in to the PCIe slot and that you are giving it power.

Plug your monitor in to your new video card.

Then make sure you go in to your BIOS and select the PCIe card as your primary (or only) video card.
