I bought a sapphire r9 280x toxic cheap from Ebay as faulty and managed to get it working so thought I would try my luck again and got an even cheaper XFX r9 280x DD .
However I think my luck has run out as I cannot get this thing to display at all . I have flashed the bios on it to the newest version , disabled onboard graphics ,changed mobo bios to PEG but nothing . The fans spin so there is power and it is detected by win7 and GPUZ .
The only thing I haven't tried yet is changing my bios setup from uefi to legacy .
Anyone got any thoughts or is it back onto Ebay for it as spares
Also is there a dual bios switch on this card . I,ve looked all over and cant see one which would be unusual for a 280x
System is - Gigabyte Z77 D3H , windows 7 pro, i5 3570K , 16gb corsair ddr3 vengeance , corsair tx950 psu
