R9 270x DOA?

[Mitchyboy44]

Hi,

Yesterday I purchased an XFX R9 270X 2GB, and it doesn't appear to be working.

I purchased the card to run in crossfire with another R9 270X that I own in my system. Upon installing the card the displayed stopped working for my monitor. There is a signal, as when I unplug the card it searches for a new display.

My other r9 270x works fine alone, but when I plug the second card in it stops working again, and when I run the card I just purchased by itself it doesn't work either.

Is the most probable solution that the card is DOA? I can't think of another solution as to why one R9 270X would run fine and the other one wouldn't.

any tips/suggestions/ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the help

you could always try putting in the second card by itself and resetting bios.

 

but yeah, its probably dead.
