Installing the AMD RX 7900 GRE Graphics Card - Step by Step Guide

[@c849243]

Thanks! Another informative video, with HIGH quality audio and video. Good job, Iggy!

[@ThisBytesForYou]

Thanks my friend, I do appreciate it, need a few more on this PC and then moving to a little more fresh stuff, saturating a lot here haha

awesome my friend, thank you, I hope you enjoy it.

I'm rocking 7900XTX with only 750W (85%). Never failed me, even during full night of Fur mark and CPU (7950x) stress testing together.

[@ThisBytesForYou]

Cool I guess but they put those requirements for a reason. They usually go above but wattage of a typical system stressing for a period of time, it may work fine now but as efficiency goes down and maybe more gets added to the system that comes into play. What is the manufacturer and model number of your card?

[@overgroundrover2590]

Hello, I recently bought this graphics card, but I can't get the video, the fans work but the system doesn't start, could you help me with that?

[@ryanschafran7906]

Can you change the color of the rng on the card?

[@ThisBytesForYou]

what is the rng and did you see it here?

Nice video, informative and well presented as always, with all bases covered, planning to go with the RX 7900 GRE Graphics Card, when I upgrade my AM4 system to AM5, thanks! 😊

[@ThisBytesForYou]

Thanks so much my friend, I greatly appreciate your kind words and support, it means the world to me. I will be updating my workstation too VERY soon, maybe to an AM5 as well, or.. maybe a 14the/15th Gen... not sure.

Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you.

You move a little bit slower to give your camera time to focus on details. Especially the keyway of the power connectors. Not all 8-pin connectors have the same keyway, or fit.

[@ThisBytesForYou]

actually they all do, all PCIE connectors do, it's a standard, if not it is CPU EPS, which works for the CPU only. Now there is a 6+2 PIn connector, which equals 8 which is also PCIE 8 Pin. As for the focus.... That is the bane of my existence, I have such a hard time with that. if/when I get bigger, I will grow this from a 1 man show to at least a 3 man show, heck maybe more, who knows, but for now, gotta keep pushing. Thanks so much for stopping by.

[@axiomatichumdrum8704]

Love how informative your video is. Hope you can answer my question I have a MSI Pro b550m-p gen3 motherboard with a Gigabyte 3070 8gb OC Edition installed. My 3070 broke and I wanted to replace with the Sapphire Nitro+ 7900gre. Would you know if it will fit? pcbuilder says it is compatible but when I look at my cpu and check the dimensions of the 7900gre, its pretty sketchy. Thank you in advance

[@ThisBytesForYou]

Depends on your case, CPU is your processor, not your computer. Is this for a pre built store bought PC, if so what is the exact model number and manufacturer of the PC, if it's for a custom built PC what is the manufacturer and model number of your case. And for both pre built and custom, what is the manufacturer and model number of your power supply. If you are not sure, you have the PC in front of you, look inside.

So that I can help, please list the manufacturer and exact model number of the following components: 1. Motherboard - manufacturer and exact model number 1a. What BIOS version is on the motherboard, you can find out in the BIOS 2. CPU - manufacturer and exact model number 3. RAM - manufacturer and exact model number 4. Video Card - manufacturer and exact model number 5. Power supply - manufacturer and exact model number 6. Monitor - manufacturer and exact model number Redundant I know, but many people forget to enter manufacturer and exact model number 7. Do you have ALL of the PCIE connections plugged in, and not daisy chained or pigtailed, each coming directly from the power supply? 8. Are you running through HDMI, DP, DVI, VGA, any adapters? 9. Is UEFI or Legacy Setup in the BIOS? 10. What slots do you have your RAM installed in? 11.Do you have CSM Enabled or Disabled in the BIOS 12. Is your Hard Drive/SSD with Windows set to GPT or MBR? 13. This video will help you identify hardware inside your PC: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGa9hJyMftJ9rpI

​@@chrisostreicher9798 ok cool, so you have everything which is great, So I am not sure what cable you are using, but if its HDMI, you will need an HDMI 2.1 cable, if its DP, you need to make sure its 1.4, this comes directly from AMD. So to get back into windows, disconnect all your cables on the back of you machine, USB, power, HDMI/DP, etc, no cables, then remove the CMOS battery for 60 seconds, after 1 minute, connect all the cables on the back of the machine and pop the battery back in. Make sure your HDMI/DP cable is connected to the graphics card, not the onboard IO. Since your BIOS has been reset, go back in the BIOS, load XMP, save and exit then go back into windows and you "should" be good, I HIGHLY recommend updating your BIOS as well to the latest BIOS Version.

[@chrisostreicher9798]

@@ThisBytesForYou I connected the same cables as the cables that already exist on my RX 7900 GRE card on the new RX 7900 GRE XFX (VGA cables). However, in addition to the "no signal" screens the VGA light of the motherboard flickers white

the cables may not be firmly seated and the card may not be pushed in completely into the PCIE slot.

650w psu is enough in my rig. Glad did not have to upgrade it too

[@ThisBytesForYou]

Good stuff my friend, but this card states that the minimum recommended is 700Watts. Thats not to say it won't work with a 650, the 700Watts takes into account a typical system, since of course the card itself doesn't consume 700 watts, even 650Watts. I go large, I have used 1200 and 1000Watts for years, haven't needed to buy a new Power supply in over 15 years, well other than needed for better build guides to buy ones with 12VHP connectors. This has saved me tons of money from having to buy a PSU every time I upgrade, pay a few dollars more upfront and save tons over the course of a few years. www.xfxforce.com/shop/xfx-radeon-tm-rx-7900-gre#2 Requirements ‍External Power: 2x PCI-E 8 pin connections Minimum Power Supply Requirement: 700 watt

[@SiXiS4]

Yea no, you should always install card while u can count on gravitation- main reason is sag , u should NEVER push the card up, or goodbye 500€ in few months . I know u did cuz u cant record that wax but u know

[@ThisBytesForYou]

Sag will happen overtime, you know gravitation, unless of course you install the card vertically. Funny with all the systems I build as Product Development Engineer for Alienware, then later Dell then Later Velocity Micro selling systems with 5 year warranties sometimes, never happened. I state it in the videos why I install them the way I do, to make it easier to record but it doesn't really mater how you install the card as long as you don't have any ESD and the system is off.
