""Did you take anti-static precautions, etc, when installing the gpu" : no but would that destroy the whole system if i just touched the gfx card? - I feel like my cpu failing when installing a new videocard would be very unlikely and there are very few if any tech shops near. -I can still try (ram sticks thing) that but I doubt it will work (I'll try it)

I dont have another z87 compatible cpu. I didn't remove any motherboard cables when installing the new gpu so I assume everything is still connected correctly.

Tried multiple cables and monitors

-I also tried removing the battery -Just tried removing the SATA cables but that didn't work either -I dont remember doing anything very harshly. I thought "maybe I damaged the pcie lanes" but I'm pretty sure the igpu would still work in that case.

Already tried that

The PSU is the RM750 by corsair

-I can't post with the old gpu. -Corsair RM750 is the psu. -I don't know, I could have but i don't think so since the rest of the motherboard seems to work (cpu fans and the sata ports (since the drives are starting))

tried 3 different gpu's (in multiple pcie slots) and the igpu and none of them work. Wouldn't that imply that its probably not the gpu?

specs:750 watt powersupply motherboard: z87-g45 gaming cpu: i5-4670k old graphics card: r9 280x -CPU fans are running -Seems like its starting though there is nothing but a black screen. -Tried 3 different GFX cards and the iGPU (280x, 9600gt, 1070) -Tried CMOS resetting -Tried a HDMI cable -Tried two different DVI cables -Tried two monitors Honestly do not know what to try anymore. Please help.

I'm kind of done waiting for VEGA. The only thing really keeping me from just getting a 1080ti is a possible like 100-150 euro price drop for the 1080ti. Is this a real concern or very unlikely?

That low memory clock would indicate HBM2 though, so I dont think this is a 580/480.
