thank you for the easiest tutorial, followed it to a t and had no problem switching from a gtx 1080 to a rx 7800 xt....and just for anyone reading current(9/2/24) driver version for amd cards is 24.8.1 since 8/23/24
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.
Thanks for posting the vid! Also you might know this, there is a physical switch on the card by the pcie power connectors that you can switch to "bios OC/silent" or something like that, any idea what that's for?
@@AHappySpace yup, switching the card to silent will lower wattage in the card and speed of the fans, oc, overclocks the card and bios is for when you adjust it with trixx.
Always a pleasure my friend, happy I could help, maybe this video will help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ct7zf3cVS5Y.html I don't recommend playing with Ray tracing, its a waste. Don't chase ultra settings, maybe even very high, high should be great, but check out the video, it may help you.

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.

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!

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

Hey bud, good to see you. Have you watched this video to see some of the settings I used? These would help you tons, and actually, I may do some with my new 7700XT review.
Just as a warning to some, the Gigabyte Control Center and Amd Adrenaline software do not play nice with one another. If you experience driver timeouts or driver crashes uninstall GCC! This happened to me with my 6800 XT but I’m not sure if it’s fixed now. I would just like to give you a heads up if anyone has issues.
@@ThisBytesForYou yeah, hopefully Gigabyte fixed the issue, but it was aggravating trying to get the software to work. Apparently it was because of Gigabyte’s built in OC’er in the software conflicting with AMD’s Oc’er in Adrenalin Edition. It also didn’t help everytime GCC installed, it wanted to install a bunch of drivers too.
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 ;)

@@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
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 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.
Ok. I finally got my PC back in working order after 2 days. Ill still need to configure the software to save videos to a certain drive, and find out how to enable or disable microphones while recording
@@ThisBytesForYou Yep. I figured that out. But Im having some issues with electrical noise? When Im at peak power draw the lights flicker a little bit and I hear some coil whine from the new PSU when it peaks. Ive been figuring out a solution to this. Otherwise the setup MOSTLY works. I did experience some game crashes before tinkering with the settings. I had to dail back the graphics to medium on WH40K Darktide to Medium or else I would crash joining a game in progress. I also noticed a little bit of stuttering in Helldivers. I had considered an undervolt. My friend said I should use my UPS but on the surge side, not the battery side. When I tried it on the battery side the alarm went off at 200W board power or above
Sorry, I didn't see this response. Sadly that coil wine happens, not specifically with this card, it can happen with any card, so for example if you had 20 of these cards, maybe 3 would have it, if you had 20 4090's maybe 4 of them would have it, kind of luck of the draw. What resolution are you running on?
@@ThisBytesForYou 1080P. I had been looking into going to 1440P. But I hear it from the back of the PC near the bottom so it has to be the PSU doing it
very nice detailed guide! Thank you helped me lots with my new Radeon RX 7800 XT. One issue i am having however after getting the new GPU my second monitor seems to be lagging and cant figure out how to fix that :/
Your RAM should not be max out, sounds like you either have too many programs running at the same time or your windows install is corrupt, maybe a virus. Right click on your taskbar, click "Task Manager" on the processes tab, click the Memory tab, so that the program using the most memory as at the top, what are the top 10 programs eating up RAM and how much RAM are they taking? Also, how much free disk space do you have on your C drive?
Hey I followed ur instructions but now my pc only boots up the bios and not windows? I have an msi motherboard and I switched out a nvidia for a AMD 7800xt
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.
If we do the setting now of the graphics card that allows us to go we can do it with our old graphics card and while waiting for the day when we receive the new graphics card
that wont make sense if they are different graphics card, do the settings and changes that I show you when the card arrives, you can wait a little longer to get the most possible performance, unless you like issues.

Hey I have a question, I’m building my first build, and I’m getting that GPU, should I use one PCIe cable and connect the pigtail to the other 8 pin connector or get a second PCIe cable from the power supply to connect to the other 8 pin connector, avoiding the pigtails
@@AngelReyes-rg6lq never pig tail, use a cable directly from the PSU, and if you need another, get another cable from the PSU, 2 connections, 2 cables, 3 connections, 3 cables.
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 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
@@hdlm2057 ahhhh, well that does happen and I am so very happy you didn't waste too much time on that, it would have eaten me up alive hahah but I am so very happy I could help you my friend, it means the world to me that I could help you.
@@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. ;)
Thanks man! Excellent video. One question: I just bought a sapphire nitro+ amd radeon rx 7800 xt gaming oc. It comes with a fan in conector. I not mean the ARGB control conector, is another 3 pin one labeled fan in. Do you know what is for?
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. As for the fan, that is for the Assistive System Fan Control, you can connect another fan to the card for external cooling.
@@lotariuss well, I would put it in the front, off to the left (closest to you turn 45°to the left so that it's blowing on the side of the card in towards the board, keeping more cool, give it a try
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.
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.
I installed the new graphics card but it won't boot. I have an Asus z170p motherboard and just installed 2 16gb 3600 ddr4 ram sticks. I can get into the bios but it won't boot windows. Any suggestions?
Multiple Answers, respond to each 1. Did you disconnect and Power cable from an SSD? 2. Did it work before you installed the graphics card? 3. This card requires a system with at least a 700Watt Power supply 4. This card requires 2 x 8Pin PCIE connections, if they are daisy chained you will have issues. Do you have both connected, and are they daisy chained?
@@ThisBytesForYou 1. I don't believe I disconnected anything. 2. It was working with my old graphics card and ram. 3. I have 750w power supply. 4. I wasn't aware what daisy chaining is but I have the 2 pins coming from my power source but haven't opened up the other side of the case to inspect. Maybe I need to get a different connector because both had the +2 slots and I can see you only had 1 wire that had the +2 slot. But I don't think they are connected to each other, they come out separately.
@@TATONKA-THE-ETERNAL as long as you have 2 cables, each coming from the power supply is perfect, not 2 connections from 1 cable, that is daisy chaining. The card needs to be setup in UEFI, you will need to use your old card for a minute to find out, right click on the start button, then click on Device Manager, click to expand "Disk Drives" right click on your C drive, which ever drive it may be, then click properties. Click the Volumes tab then click Populate, what does it say under "Partition Style"
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.

@dandan1364 I have, as product development engineer at Alienware and velocity micro, yup. Have you tried it and why would you call it overkill if you haven't? The best way however is a wipe and reload but that is way overkill.
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.
restart the computer, also asking me to reply isn't going to make me reply, its not going to make anyone reply, the fact that I reply to all comments because I care about my community determines the fact that I reply and with that, you might want to watch the video.
Uhhhh.....Something went wrong here. I decided to make a new folder for the Uninstaller app so I could more easily find it and ummm. I booted into safe mode and now its telling me the system can't access it. What did I do wrong?
@@ThisBytesForYou I got that error message from Windows. So I ended up doing the driver wipe out of safe mode. And that worked. Ive been busy the last few hours with the GPU and PSU replacement itself
Ummm, OK, if you mean DDU, DDU will work perfectly fine in safe mode, like I showed you, not sure what could have happened but glad you got it. Did you do the driver wipe using the catalyst software instead?
Thanks for stopping by my beauty hour, so very happy you enjoyed it, I don't make the beautiful skirts you are looking for though, but they would look fabulous on you
I have a msi b550 mainboard , a ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU , power supply 850watt from msi. The following problem , my 1080ti graphics card works fine , but as soon as I put in the sapphire 7800xt nitro , I get no picture on the monitor . On my other pc, the new 7800xt works perfectly. I need help, unfortunately I can't get any further :(
This might lead to a few more questions, but lets start with the following: 1. Please check if your main boot drive, your C drive is GPT, you can check by • Right clicking on the start button • Click Device Manager • Click to expand disk drives • Right click on your boot drive • Click properties • Click the Volume tab • Click Populate • What does it say under "Partition Style" 2. What BIOS version are you on? 3. Do you have your memory set to XMP or AEMP? 4. Is your HDMI cable HDMI 2.1 or above or if its DP, is that cable 1.4 or above?
@@ThisBytesForYou I have the latest Bios version. As for the cables, I have tried Dp and HDMI 1.4 and higher and 2.1 and higher unfortunately without success. Main boot is drive C. I have completely reset the BIOS to default or factory settings.
Just in case you don't know how to check • Right click on the start button • Click Device Manager • Click to expand disk drives • Right click on your boot drive • Click properties • Click the Volume tab • Click Populate • What does it say under "Partition Style"
What is the manufacturer and model number of you card, for example, this specific card is GV-R78XTGAMING OC-16GD, you can use this video to help you find out what you have: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-65ZSiVImJx0.html
@ThisBytesForYou I may have confused myself with the number when typing mate. Just got this card and a new psu. So re wiring my pc tomoz. It's a pain for a noob like me. But I'll be using your guide as reference. Thanks broski
@@EMJAY88GAMING always a pleasure my friend and no worries, it's a lot of info, so very happy I could help you and please feel free to ask any questions, we were all noobs at one point, I got you my friend ;)
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?
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
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.
