I was watching this on another system while installing my new card, and it was extremely easy to follow, didn't skip any steps, and was very helpful. I felt safe to not break anything in your hands :) Thank you for the video!

[@ThisBytesForYou]

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.

Another VERY helpful video, Iggy. You have spent a lot of time researching, filming and editing. Good job!

[@ThisBytesForYou]

Thanks bud, I try to get a little better each video, while I lost my editor, due to his own devices, I learned a few things from him I used in this video,.... once I get my next 2 videos out (because I am late) I plan on looking for another.

@@ThisBytesForYou No problem dude! Installation went smoothly. Now I gotta figure out why the fans go crazy and sounds like it's about to take off when I play games! :D

[@ThisBytesForYou]

well, sadly that is normal, I go over that in the video a little, it means you are using your PC. You can use the fan curves I show you to improve that, it can get really loud though when you stress it.

[@Cr0wbar2001]

@@ThisBytesForYou Does the gigabyte control centre override Adrenaline?

[@ThisBytesForYou]

@@Cr0wbar2001 I would recommend the Gigabyte control center if you are using a Gigabyte card, it works VERY well and even has built in undervolting that will help this as well. I recommend to do benchmarks before and after each change you make to verify the change you are making is good.

[@envy_zz5706]

when you have static electricity built up in you, try to make sure you touch a piece of the bare metal, coated or painted metal does not pass electricity that well

[@ThisBytesForYou]

you are correct, but will still pass, electricity will find the weakest thing to go through, painted or not, it should work fine

Awesome GPU…could do with upgrading mine…currently running the RX 6750 XT

[@ThisBytesForYou]

Thanks bud, well the 6750 is a nice card, and while the 7800 is faster, might be best to wait till the 8xxx series to see that tremendous upgrade, it will be sweet for sure ;)

[@Nicc93]

wait untill christmas time when new stuff drops

[@ThisBytesForYou]

@@Nicc93 yeah for sure

[@xantech42]

@@ThisBytesForYou no worries….I’ll definitely wait for the new ones to drop

[@envy_zz5706]

another question for you, once you shut down the pc in safe mode and installed the 7800xt, did you boot back up into normal mode? because thats what it seems like. or did you install the drivers in safe mode and then restart the pc back into normal mode? i just like to follow everything as close as i can and im rewatching the vid.

[@ThisBytesForYou]

Always happy to help my friend, but no, I did not install the driver in safe mode, you can't install it in safemode, restart in regular mode then install the driver.

[@makissdralagas6296]

I have this card and is loud like hell when it rises 81c how to make them go quiet? Can you tell me the fans curve you use?

[@ThisBytesForYou]

saddly it is loud but typically when you are using it, to get that loud, you have a set of headphones on or speakers, it drowns it out. I dont really change the fan curves, other than not letting go silent, silent bugs me.

[@isaacjlw]

Been in between this card and the ASUS tuf card. I used the tuf card before I gave it away I never heard it once while gaming at 1440p. Do you think I’d be able to hear this card while doing the same ? I keep my room pretty cool.

[@ThisBytesForYou]

As long as the TUFF was silent, this should be even more or the same, good stuff my friend.

[@isaacjlw]

@@ThisBytesForYou okay sweet I’m gonna hit up micro center my next day off thank you

[@ThisBytesForYou]

@@isaacjlw correction, the card has a pretty steep built in fan curve but you can correct it like I show you here.

Hi, i upgraded from nvidia to amd but im getting really bad stutters now and really really low fps… any clue why?

[@ThisBytesForYou]

Did you watch this video?

[@CristianNagy23]

I have same video card and I get black screen intermittent… Could you help me with that ? Thanks in advance!

[@ThisBytesForYou]

of course, but I may have to continue tomorrow, since I am going to bed. A few things to start 1. Did you do everything like I show you in this video, its important, even if you went from AMD to AMD, or Intel to AMD or NVIDIA to AMD (processors or graphics cards alike) 2. Is your HDMI cable 2.1 or DP cable 2.1 (VERY important) Now if that above, the questions and the video didn't help, I need you to answer the questions below So that I can help, please list the manufacturer and exact model number of the following components: 1. Motherboard - manufacturer and exact model number 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. Installed latest supported chipset driver? 13. Have you disabled Fast Boot within Windows? 14. This video will help you identify hardware inside your PC: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGa9hJyMftJ9rpI

[@Nicc93]

my sapphire 7800 xt came with a support bracket

[@ThisBytesForYou]

Nice, Sapphire does make some nice cards.

[@envy_zz5706]

at the end when you installed the drivers, do they auto-enable so that your pc stops using the windows drivers? bc i never saw the mouse change back to normal, or is that just what your mouse looks like on screen?

[@ThisBytesForYou]

thats actually a decent question, yes they auto enabled, GENERALLY, the resolution changes when the drivers enact, but not always depending on the native resolution and what may be there already, I like the way you phrased that question. AS for the mouse, yes, because its 4K, I have the mouse obnoxiously large and green so it doesn't get lost.

@@ThisBytesForYou i’ll be sure to come back in a couple days if i have trouble installing mine, going from a 1050ti to a 7800xt so a pretty big upgrade for me, but i’ve upgraded everything else myself so i should be fine, but thanks for the assurance and assistance

[@ThisBytesForYou]

WOW, that is a huge upgrade, congrats and I am here to help but a HUGE question then, well 2, but the big one is what power supply do you have? This will require a 700Watt and 2 x 8Pin PCIE connections, and I dont recommend daisy chaining them.

[@ScofaUK]

i am no expert but think i would screw it in befor doing the power cables.

[@ThisBytesForYou]

@@ScofaUK yup, I agree, but sometimes when you record you get in your own head and you make a few mistakes, regardless, most won't be building standing up, most laying down so it wouldn't be an issue regardless. ;)
