My dad upgraded to a 4k monitor lately and realized his old ATI Radeon HD 6850 doesnt support 4k output. We looked up for the cheapest 4k compatible cards (since he doesnt game) and ended up with the Sapphire RX550 2gb.
On the original page of Sapphire they said the card is compatible with PCI-E 2.0 16x (same as the former card). The power consumption is almost half as high as the HD 6850 and i updated the BIOS version to 7.15 (the latest i could find for that board).
Unfortunately the BIOS doesnt look like any "normal" BIOS i've ever seen (its a Pegatron 2ab6) - never heard of that company before.
Is there anything "obvious" thats uncompatible that i've overlooked in my research?
I was wondering about the troubleshooting since quite a few people tested the cpu and gpu combination and it worked very well.
kind regards,
Patrick
