Has anyone else had problems with graphics cards in the 16x slot? Asus R9 270x in my case.

I have had no problems with the 16x slot but i am using nvidia card. You may be getting a conflict with the onboard gpu..try disabling the boards gpu.

I have a Sapphire R9 270X with my system and I did have problems in the beginning. At first, I thought it was the card, then I thought it would be the motherboard. So I flashed (updated) the BIOS from Gigabyte's website to the latest version. Works perfectly.EDIT: Nevermind. Saw you're reply. Hopefully this will help future customers have questions answered faster.

Hi, I have had zero problems with DirectX10 on my computer with this card installed. Hope this helps.

It seems like that would be a normal issue with the kind of setup that board has. Clearance issues are common when dealing with large graphic cards. Maybe you can try placing the card in the second PCIE x16 slot. I have the Crosshair 4 mobo and the header for the hot swappable connection is right under the card so now I can't use it with the built in hotswap bay on my case.

Do you have a pci express x16 2.0, 2.1, or 3.0 and a powersuply of more then 400w with either a 6 pin connector or 2 molex connectors? If so, then yes. ------------------ Under further reaserch of the bored you(hopfully) don't yet have I have to say is EXTREAM OVER KILL. that board runs 200 ish here on amazon and you only need all the stuff it has if your trying to run a server while edditing videos/ rendering them. this is a mid-range card an the motherboard you speak of is the low of the high. sooo you would be better of with the gigabyte 270x or up or a duel set up with this card. If you don't know about what I speak (since you don't appear to know much about compatibility ) I would suggest a cheaper first rig, and also something newer. getting a good bored is important but aim for a newer one. reaserch research a d research. and more research. YouTube helps a lot. I hope this impute was helpful, good luck with the build!

Been in my gaming PC since March. Running it on a ASRock Socket FM2/AMD A75 FCHZero problems.

This isn't really the place for troubleshooting, but check your motherboard -- if it is purpose built for SLI it may not handle other types of cards in both slots at the same time. Alternatively it may require additional config in the BIOS to recognize the cards as not bring graphics cards. Both of these possibilities are specific to lower end / consumer / workstation boards -- if yours is specifically a server board there may be another issue going on. Either way unless the cards are both DOA (unlikely) its probably a motherboard issue -- try contacting that manufacturer for support if you aren't able to resolve it with their manuals.

I didn't have any issues with the cards I've purchased. Check your case. I have had bad screw location issues with cases before.

I'm using a Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H-BK - fits fine. From the looks of the 2 R9 270 GPU crossfire I see no problem. You will have room to spare.

Honestly, I don't know. I had problems fitting the graphics card in the first PCI-E 16x slot due to the RAM modules. Look at this video, it might help with your question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXbgyGLgAqk

R7 250 card crossfires upgrade with 260 x or 270 9 but will shut down onboard gpu

If updating drivers did not work then you may need to double check that the card is seated evenly and solidly. If reseating it does not help then it may just be defective and need to be returned.

I had the same problem actually and was never able to solve the issue. For about two weeks the driver/card worked then one day during boot up it kept freezing. I went through a trouble shooting sequence with GeForce since the driver appeared to be the problem. I even installed a different beta driver with no luck. I eventually had to uninstall the driver and send the card back. For some reason my system had compatibility issues with the GeForce driver/Chipset and I ended up buying a Gigabyte HD7770 with AMD Radeon/Catalyst Control Center Driver. This has been working very well and the only driver that worked was on the Gigabyte download center. The card was also twice the price.

considering the 270x is roughly 80% faster than the 6870 i would think you shouldnt have a problem with those settings. If your buying a 270x go with the 4GB version instead of the 2GB version.

I am not positive...I used to keep up with tech but I don't any longer. I know I can select different options with the video card but I have not had much success when changing the settings. There is also a built in graphics accelerator besides the separate video card and it seems to default to that unless the higher power card is necessary. Again I am not sure of this but I think that is what is happening.

I don't know,it never worked for me. I crapped canned it and got a Nvidia GTX 660. I am VERY happy with it. I got the ASUS OC edition. I had used ATI/AMD almost exclusively until this card. I got the ol shove it from AMD. I'll never buy AMD again. I would say skip this card.

No, you may have success with 7970 + r9 270x but absolutely not with 7770. They have different GPUs. Dump 7770, it is too slow
