MSI 4090 Gaming X Trio - Compatibility question

[massimo.sin]

Today i have bought a MSI 4090 Gaming X Trio and i have installed it on a Z97 Gaming 7 with a 4790k.

The card is not detected at all (not even in the bios) even if it seem it's running fine. Is the card compatible with the motherboard?

The psu is a 850W Seasonic Prime Titanium and i'm sure it's not the problem.

I'm waiting the release of the AMD 7800x3d so, for the moment, i would be happy to understand if there is a compatibility problem or if the card has a problem.
The previous card was a Msi 1080Ti gaming X and it works fine.

Thank you

By the looks of that photo it seems you have the 12 pin power connector on the GPU bent way to much at the card. Try to straighten it out some and see if that helps. It is recommended not to bend the cable right at the card as this can cause power delivery issues.

Also you may need to upgrade your power supply. 850W is the bare minimum for 4090 series cards. 1000W really should be what you want installed at minimum.

And I really think the motherboard is too old and the gpu is not detected by he bios.You have the latest bios on it?

also 1 advice,buy the Seasonic cable for you power supply and get rid off that horrible adapter thing

Generally, I'd say it SHOULD work just fine.
I've tested some 2k and 3k series cards on a similar platform (Z97 Plus) board, and they worked just fine. So I don't see a reason the 4k series wouldn't.
Perhaps try to manually set the PCIe version for the slot to PCIe 3.0? If you can? Or something similar?
That being said, I obviously can't verify that it'll work 100%.....but it should. While it's a (rather old) system, it's after the point that an Intel ME update should be required for it to work (Z87 required that, if memory serves right, to work with cards newer than the GTX7xx series).

Could you perhaps try it in another (or friends) computer that is a bit newer?

Have you tested GPU in another PC?
You can also try different PCIe slot on yours.
BIOS version?
Have you done >>Clear CMOS Guide<<?

Thanks everybody, problem solved and card working perfectly.
The problem was the non correct contact in the pcix slot.
