I am trying to upgrade from an rtx 2070 to a 6800xt I got from a friend. The card is only a month old and worked fine in his PC ( that I built for him). When i put the card in my PC I keep getting a d6 code. I put my 2070 back in and it boots up fine. The lights come on and the fans spin on the 6800xt but no video output. I already flashed the bios on my mobo, Uninstalled all nvidia drivers using ddu in safe mode. I have taken the 6800xt out countless times now to make sure it was seated properly. I can't figure it out for the life of me, hoping someone on here can help. Info on my setup.

Q-Code D6, No Output Defected

 

Make sure all the PCI-E 8-pin power connectors are connected -- they are NOT optional.

Depending on the model of "6800XT" you have, it could be 2x 8-pin, or 3x 8-pin connections.
