Dell XPS 8300 and Club 3D R9 290?

4 replies

Has anyone had one of these cards work in their Dell (H67 chipset)? My BIOS is up to date and does not have any options for changing any graphics-related items.

Upgraded the PSU to a EVGA 750w. Both 6 and 8-pin connectors are installed.

Boots to black screen - does not POST.

If I remove the card and use on-board graphics or my old AMD Radeon 6670, it boots without issue.

can you test the card in another pc? my first R9 (not a Club3d) was DOA and had a black screen too

also,, are you SURE there is no setting in the BIOS to disable on board VGA?

Got a new mobo and installed today. A MSI B75. Card was plug and play and flawless. AC: Unity is running at 65+ FPS with settings on Ultra. Sweet.

No can do in another PC. I've got a new mobo coming that should wotk with it though.

There is an on-board video option in the bios WHEN it detects a card in the PCIe slot. Problem is, with the 290, it doesn't POST, so I can't get to the BIOS. I have left my old card in, disabled onboard video, then shutdown and put in the 290, to no avail.
