Rtx 3070 cannot be installed,I have done the troubleshooting, reinstalled the drivers but it still isn't working.The GPU is connected to a MSI Z690.The PSU is connected to the PSU using the 8pin PCIe only. When I add the 6pin PCIe to the GPU the inbuilt  integrated GPU fails to display but does only when the 8pin PCIe is connected to the GPU. ..any one encountered a similar problem or has a solution to this?

Hi there Luna, welcome, you say the iGpu works when the PCIE is connected to the RTX? In your BIOS it will be set to boot through iGPU even if your GPU is connected and running. Check in your BIOS.

Bit of a tech guy, converted to PC's when consoles did not entertain me enough, the last console being an Xbox, was fun with Halo multi-play though. But  the want to discover, to test, to learn more about computers drove me to levels I had never known...

 

Some GPU's I have had, 8800GTS 384MB, 7800GT, GEFORCE 4 MX440, 250GTS,  770 GTX, 1650 GTX, RTX 3050 Plus many other GPU's over the years...

 

The respect I have for LMG is massive like a black hole, sucking in all the knowledge, I watch their awesome video's, their knowledge is like that of a God. Seriously some say they are number 1 in the whole wide world. LMG is like the INTEL fabrication plant. Beaming with technology goodness...

Hey Trinity-W just solved it. It turns out I was using HDMI instead of the display port. Thanks. 

Yay! happy gaming Luna! 🙂
