Since my monitor (Shimian 27" inch IPS monitor) does not have a DP port, I had to purchase a rather expensive adapter to connect it with the Vega 56.

It actually works okay when I don't have any Radoen drivers installed. However...
The discrepancy is due to the fact only anandtech seemed to have applied the MELTDOWN/SPECTRE patch, as they should.
Personally, I think that's what every reviewer should have done -- anything else appears dishonest.
Hmm.. that got me thinking.
What happens if I do not connect it to monitor and try to navigate into windows without display?
If I memorize the sequence of keyboard strokes to get into windows and turn off the computer, if I am able to execute that, wouldn't that mean that the graphic card does...
yup, i might look into that.
how would i do a "proper reboot/reconnect of the cable"?
I don't have a spare monitor around. I think the next thing to do, definitely, is to go to a hardware shop and see if the graphics card works on diferent setups
It's brand new. I tried switching the bios switch on the graphics card. Tried a different pcie slot.
How old is your mobo (did you update its bios?)
Thaks for the heop
I won't..
Someone suggested that I flash the mobo bios. However, it's a bit terrifying to do. Might that be problem though that's preventing the graphic card to work.?
The mobo is around 5 yrs old.
I had to get a dual link DVI to display port adaptor because monitor only has DVI and the card doesn't. I mean that could be a possibility but somehow I doubt it..
Thanks for that. Do you recommend something like DDU?
What if it still doens't work?
Would the computer still boot up if I try to go back to 8600 GT.
I am afraid that uninstalling NVIDIA drivers would not let me do that.
Thanks
Trying to get some help here. Recently bought a XFX Vega 56 graphics card. My computer works fine with a different graphics card (a beater 8600gt or something). My power supply is Corsair TX650W (bronze I think).
When I plug in the Vega, the card fans spins for around 10 seconds and the fans...
