Hello, after many months of HODLing, I purchased the recently posted Asus Dual 6700XT deal from Scorptec.

Once I turn the PC on , the fans spin briefly before turning off, the LED light stays on. I wiped previous NVIDIA drivers using DDU. I've switched between display ports, ran an additional seperate power cable and still nothing.
I'm also using a PCIE 3 GPU vertical mount. Ive plugged in without the white PSU extensions.
I've also tried installing AMD 6700Xt drivers with the 1650super plugged in, but installation won't complete as it detects the 1650S.
I've watched NVIDIA to AMD GPU upgrade videos, followed the steps and still no display.
What the hell am I doing wrong? Whenever I reinstall the 1650s, everything works fine.

My current setup-

Asus x570 Tuff Gaming Pro Wifi
Ryzen 5 3600 / EK 360 Waterblock AIO
Corsair 32GB DDR4 3200MHZ
1TB Samsung 970 Pro NVME
512gb Samsung NVME
1TB WD Green SSD
240GB WD SSD
Gigabyte 750w Gold PSU
9x Corsair QL 120's
Lian Li o11 Dynamic
Xiaomi 34 Ultrawide Gaming Monitor.

My most anticipated parcel delivery has slowly turned into a nightmare.

Any help would be much appreciated, cheers!

    You don't list the most important thing, which is your psu, since it works fine with a 1650 super but doesnt work at all with the 6700XT, i would say your psu is old and not efficient anymore, or doesnt provide enough power for the system to use a 6700XT.

    could also be a compatability issue between pcie 3 mobo and pcie 4 gpu, maybe bios settings, maybe the extension cable.

      Ahh yes, forgot the PSU. Its a Gigabyte 750w Gold. About 1 year old now. Thanks for bringing that up.

        750 watts should still be plenty for this setup.

        Its not one of the explodey GP-P750GM PSUs is it?

        But I concur with others, try it without the riser first.

    Sounds like a hardware issue.

    Gen 4 board, Gen 4 Card, Gen 3 PCIe Riser - Might need to force Bios to use PCIE3 port instead of auto if you haven't already. Otherwise take the riser out and put the card directly into the motherboard slot to confirm.

    Plug straight into mobo to test, don't use the riser :/

    Do you mean all the fans turn off in your system or just the fans in the GPU? The former is a problem. The latter means nothing, these days the GPU will stop the fans when idling.

    ran an additional seperate power cable

    Ran what kind of power cable? To where? Just to make sure, have you plugged in both the 6 pin and 8 pin power connectors? You need both.

    Anyway, as everyone else has said, try it without the riser first. Also go into the bios with the 1650 super installed and double check your PCIe settings.

    Thanks to all that took the time to respond. I went into BIOS and changed PCIE from auto to GEN3. I also removed the PSU extensions and now I've got it working. Much love y'all ✌️
