Anyone has encountered this issue and know a fix?
A friend of mine bought am RX 460 for his i5-2300 on a Foxconn N15235 board and it fails to display image, while with his older gpu (GTS 450) no problem.
 
my rx 480 works fine with evga z77ftw w/ 3570K

could the board need an update? maybe its just not compatible with newer PCI E cards. idk im guessing here though. :)
 
if he has more than one PCIe slot, tell him to try the others.it worked for my older 1155 etreme 3 , also, be sure to run most current bios
 
Board has old bios, newest update is 3/30/2013.
Could it work, or will card require new uefi board to work?
 
Update to latest bios version. If there is a beta version Use it.

I was in the exact position as your friend is, I had a UEFI GPU and an old 1155 board ( Sandy bridge not IVY bridge Gen, so it was the older of the two,1155 boards)

And the GPU I got off a friend wouldn't run. Everything powered up fine but there was no display. I went through all bios updates and every other troubleshooting step asrock could come up with, then I ended up dropping the GPU one slot down and it worked perfectly ,it made no sense to me why it would work but it did.

Thanks to @Norton for that one

Whats interesting is ASRock has a beta bios page too. Asus doesn't.

I encountered this while tweaking the options in the BIOS. It appears that setting PCI Rom Priority to EFI compatible ROM prevented my RX460 to start while in the main PCI-E slot. If i used the card in the secondary slot, it worked. Setting this option to Legacy ROM fixed the problem completely. The option was in the Boot menu.
 
Don't imagine it would be a bios issue as my old sandy bridge board didnt need any bios updates for my 1070 unless its an AMD issue?

Its been happening to NV users too
 
That sucks, might have to update the entire platform (board, cpu, ram). Hopefully the board haa a BIOS update to correct this issue. Some new cards today are uefi only, legacy BIOS may not be supported.

I must of Dodged that bullet.
Its due to fastboot today.

A Skt 754 board I had didnt like a 250X. Grabbed a 6450 called it a day.
 
I can't use fastboot because my card doesn't support uefi. Some older cards have a bios update for that, but mine doesn't.

8 honestly dont worry about that function because my rig boots faster than my phone anyway (20 Seconds)
 
Yeah, it's not a big deal honestly.

I'd definitely get your board bios to latest before that 660 is sold off or kicks the bucket so when you are ready to upgrade you wont have too many snags.
 
Ive searched his bios and it doesnt have the PCI ROM option in it, as a matter of fact, it doesnt have any PCIE options on it.
The GPU does not have a switch for UEFI or Legacy bios mode.

I think it's already on the latest bios. I'd like to upgrade to like gtx1060 or RX480, but finances do not permit that now.
 
Anyone know how to update bios on this damn Foxconn H67MP-V 2.0 board, i used freedos with files downloaded from official site, but it cant seem to work.
It gives me an error, saying:
Bios file not big enought to flash (update), something like that.

Tried second slot, no luck.

Just to note, the GPU works fine on my 1156 board, and im as well using UEFI GPU (R9 280x).
 

Here is a video I did, with my friend's Sapphire RX 460 on even older board.
So YEA, I will need to update his BIOS to support this GPU.

Yeah they do with some kind of enhanced warning about them not being liable :)

I try those two with my old extreme three no luck. The only thing that fixed it was dropping it down to the secondary PCI E slot. It was weird too because that board recognize my 970 reference card no problem which was newer than the 7970 that wouldn't work , maybe it's a AMD specific issue.from recent memory if I recall correctly aside from this thread the other issues I've noticed were with AMD cards also O_o
 
Bios updated on board, and the RX 460 is happily used by my friend.
Thanks for the help guys.

The Reason I suggested the beta bios is because it helped another 6+ months ago on a system. Asus used to release beta bios but for some reason they stopped.
