hey guys i need help troubleshooting my graphics card.

i have a radeon R9 280 and i have a asus maximus ranger vii mother board and i when i put the graphics card in to the PCIe slot it doesn't output video i have 

a acer vga monitor and i am using a vga to hdmi converter the on board graphics work fine but i don't think the motherboard can sense my graphics please help  :)  :)  :o 

Go to your Bios and find the graphics section, Your onboard is prob set to primary...without multiview/multimonitors enabled to enable your dedicated gpu yet...

 

Eeither set Graphics to PCIE/Primary and enable multiview/use onboard for multimonitor, or use onboard as primary and enable multimonitor so the 290 can be enabled alongside it.

 

Sounds a bit confusing, but when you see the graphics options in the bios it should be straight forward, if not come back and ask..

Provide a bit of detail what the menu looks like and what options it shows. As we cannot see it from here ;P

 

/Or post your Motherboard Make & Model, we can go look at the manual and find it easier.

hdmi to VGA? Is this a powered converter box or a cable? HDMI is a digital signal and VGA is analog, and requires a real signal conversion processing box to do so. I might add that your GPU has DVI-I and that carries an analog signal. A simple adapter that came with your GPU should allow you to plug directly into it.
