Super bummed out.

Long story short, my new 7870 that was meant to replace my 570 SLI doesn't work in my system. Works in my sisters though, runs great. Cool. Fast. Quiet.

why does it not work? that does not make any sense

[TechTheWorld]

Ugh! That sucks:)

Wipe the drivers. Google.

Re-install Windows. Thumb drive.

[Liam-Wabbit]

I don't know why your updating, 570 are pretty recent ?

Have you tried to update your BIOS UEFI ect, I'd imagine that whats wrong

Its not my drivers in my os. Its my Bios's ability to turn the 7870 into a display out put.

I checked that, I am running the latest bios. (10 points to you sir, because my motherboard was complaining about vga output devices once I put my 570 back in.)

As for the new card....where I live it gets hot (50C), and I don't have AC.

[EmoRarity]

Ugh! That sucks:)

I know right. Hate my motherboard so much.

[EmoRarity]

I run a pre-release motherboard, that is very very picky about what it wants to work with. In this case, the bios doesn't know how to turn the 7870 into a display output device. But hey, at least I got my motherboard $100 cheaper!

Ugh! That sucks:)

And as you know...now I get another hot summer.....

XFX cards aren't know for running cool. Even if it is a calm, quiet 7870.

You could of bought an AC with the 7870 money o.O

[ShiverMePenguins]

yeah i'd focus more on getting ac

I still live with my parents, can't....though trust me, beyond just the swamp cooler, I would have to also redo all the duct work, which would probably cost more then my entire computer.....

I wish it was that easy.

Still my parents house, any modification there of has to go through them. And since they don't give a shit....I lose.

So they will not let you open a window and put a window AC in? Offer to pay the electric bill.

[TechTheWorld]

Yuup:(

[Art Vandelay]

Can't you just flash the BIOS?

If it throwing up complaints about the 570, try cleaning your pcix contacts and see if that works, it worth a try.

You can buy sprays that will clean contacts. copper and air don't mix well, I have to clean contacts on my DJ mixer regular

Sure, I'll use my six figure unemployment to pay the bills. I'm 18, still in high school.

Its the 7870's that not working right with my motherboard, and the problem is on the bios level. (Headphones of choice? Audiophile myself)
