I am switching from ASUS Radeon 390x to EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 Black GAMING (08G-P4-1071-KR) 8GB GDDR6 Dual Fan 1620 MHz Boost, 14000 MHz Memory Clock PCI-E 3.0, HDMI 2.0b, 2xDP1.4, DVI, USB Type-C              
 
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97  (Yes Bios is updated to the latest... which is from 2015 but)
CPU: AMD FX 9800 Eight Core
Windows 7 x64
 
I tried booting in safe mode,
doing a clean removal of all Radeon drivers,
3 different monitors, different HDMI cables and DVI as well.
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (blue) 
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4 mode, black) 
i tried it in both of those slots as well
 
My other video card, no issues at all.
 
Is this thing dead? I noticed at one point the fans stopped spinning?!!
 
Since I can't even get into Bios when this GPU is installed and I can't install GeForce drivers without.. it.. being... installed. what the hell am I supposed to do?
I also tried letting Windows just run for 30 minutes in the background even with no video. Thinking maybe it would detect it and install the basic windows hardware for it.
But nothing...
 
 
 
 

Yes, BIOS is up to date with latest (its old, 2015...) 

I already have done all of that and it still did not detect the card so I could not see the BIOS even
 Chipset drivers are also updated
 
Version 2603

Their website is a little ****ty lol
 

No there are no LED's on the GPU that I can see
 
is it supposed to light up?

This is all I see https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A97/HelpDesk_BIOS/
Post the Link to where you are going just leave off the http://
 

Ah. I give up anyways. I'm going to return it. Thanks for your help.
ASUS are of no help at all especially for an older mobo.
 

I built the PC 2 years ago but didnt realize the stuff I was buying was dated already considering it was pretty expensive I spent $3000 all in on this rig.
But I am also in Canada where everything is way more expensive usually.
I guess it just wont work with this MOBO.
I really wanted to enjoy BFV more with it. Oh well. :(

I realize you've already decided to send the card back, but to offer my 2 cents:  The boards i'm running 2070's in are an Asus P6T-SE (Intel x58) and Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H (AMD 880G).  They're even older than yours. I would offer that it's possible the GPU is DOA.  Again, you're already decided to send it back and that's a bummer but I wanted to offer some input.  Good luck on whatever card you end up getting 

Running a brand new Seasonic 1000W plus gold hybrid.

You had posted while I was making my links  - I was going to suggest Clearing the CMOS
 
Glad it is sorted 

How-To Uninstall AMD Catalyst™ Drivers From A Windows® Based System 


AMD Cleanup Utility

SOLVED (i hope): Solution was to Clear CMOS.

Method: Took out CMOS battery, shorted terminals for 1 minute using screwdriver. Put battery back in. Started pc. Reset BIOS to defaults. Loaded into W7. Uninstalled AMD Radeon. Installed latest GeForce driver and GeForce Experience with it. Restarted.

So far so good. Im going to hook up my other monitors now. I use a HDMI splitter for my TV and second monitor which is usually have powered off anyway. Will report back if any further issues.
I restarted the PC a few times to make sure. I havent tried BFV yet with it or any other game but when I am home I will give her a full test.

Side note: I wish I knew that I couldnt use the DLSS with Windows 7 DirectX 11. Its the whole reason I wanted the card! Whatever at least I will get better fps lol.

Thank you everyone!!!!!!! I was about to take it back when I realized the one thing I didnt do was CMOS.

That is what I posted above in Post #2, glad it worked after all.

because, bcavnaugh is the best!

Tactical-Gaming, i bought an SSD for Win10 (and a License) a couple days ago so i could Dual boot Win7 and Win10. (installing Win10 for the 1st time.)
 
2 days ago i discovered https://www.tenforums.com/
and from the https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/ page, their tutorial index page: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1977-windows-10-tutorial-index.html with thousands of everything u could want to know about Win10.

Glad you got it sorted out not having to RMA it 

What a piece of garbage card.
 
I'm one black screen away from returning it.
 
Half the time I start the computer the screen is just black.
I literally have to unplug the card, start computer with it the gpu unplugged, then turn computer off, plug gpu back in, turn on computer for the video to show properly.
This in addition to countless FPS issues... I dunno man. I've done everything you can think of with DDU and and my temps all look normal as do my voltages and everything. I have more than enough power (1000W psu) and liquid cooled cpu. And since I've seen this problem happening with so many people. WHAT GIVES?

Sorry to hear you hard to return the card.
