Hello!​

I recently bought a GIGABYTE RTX 4080 Gaming (GV-N4080GAMING-16GD) and encountered the problem: System and BIOS do not see GIGABYTE RTX 4080 Gaming video card​

My configuration:
  • EVGA 750 GT SuperNova PSU,

  • MB MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WiFi,

  • CPU Ryzen 7600X,

  • MEMORY: 2 sticks in XMP @6000MHz (Kingston Fury Renegade RGB 16Gb DDR5 6000MHz (KF560C32RSA-16)),

  • all NVME slots are occupied by PCie 3\4 drives if this is important.

Bios latest (7D75v1B 2023-11-28). The BIOS is loaded with UEFI, the OS starts with the integrated video card in percent, the new 4080 is not displayed in the manager. Tried different HDMI monitors, DP ports everywhere. But if, after loading from the integrated card, you reboot, or press the reset button, then the 4080 is successfully detected, the monitor screen lights up and the system already boots with an external video card.
With my previous RTX GameRock 3080ti there were no such problems with this mother board.
I checked the video card on another PC, it was AM4 - all is fine, no such problem (10+ starts \cold starts is ok).
I tried to change the power supply to CHIEFTEC GPM-1250C 1250W ATX Gold - it didn’t help.
I checked the 4080 video card, it passes any loads and tests.

Hello DeepNight, I was wondering if you have heard back? I have the same issue and have been dealing with new PC build for several weeks. Tonight, I tried running the Gigabyte Eagle 4080 on another PC running MSI PRO Z690-A Wifi Pro Series and it worked fine. However, plugging the 4080 back into new PC build with MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WiFi I always get no display. This has to be a motherboard compatibility issue. I opened a support ticket today with MSI.

FYI prior I have tried the following and nothing worked except reset/restart everytime.

MB BIOS update 12/07/2023
GPU firmware/driver updates
GPU cables tried 3 cables 1 it came with and 2 from CableMod
BIOS setting changes UEFI /Legacy. Legacy works but after restart reverts.
 
Have you run it and it said it wasn't required? Otherwise you'd just be assuming things.
Here is screen proof:

At this the moment, a ticket has been created regarding this problem through the MSI personal account. I hope they help solve the problem, it looks a lot like a compatibility issue. There is more than one case.
 
Alright, it was worth checking. Then it's probably back to plan A, talking to MSI and Gigabyte if they can come up with some solution.

Have you tried switching the PCIe lane from Auto to Gen 4? Let me know if that does anything, as I'm having similar issues with an ASUS TUF 4070 Ti.
 
I'm having exactly the same issue. Thread here.

I've noticed clearing CMOS allows it to work once as does using a different monitor but at the next cold start the problem returns.

The bios it shipped with didn't have this issue, but I'm not sure which version that was. The problem is you can only go so far back with the agesa because of the SOC problems.

If one of the other parts in the build was faulty, surely that would come up in stress testing right?

Hopefully this gets some attention, fingers crossed it's a code conflict and not an electrical fault. Sorry I don't have any answers for you.
 
MSI have Gigabyte have always had strange compatibility issues. MSI blames it on Gigabyte, Gigabyte blames MSI, and in the end things never get fixed.
This has been an on-going issue for as long as I've been a moderator here (>10 years now).

I encourage you to contact both MSI and Gigabyte, but I wouldn't be surprised if it never gets resolved.
 
After 80+ hours. I think I got it to work with MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI and GIGABYTE RTX 4080 EAGLE. I have successfully shut down multiple times and restarted and display and GPU works as expected.

What worked for me: Performed Motherboard M-flash using Version: 7D75v17

Nothing else worked. Even tried the 1/03/2024 BETA version. Fingers crossed works for anyone else having this issue. However now wondering if should just return GPU since in return period and get 4080 super coming out 1/31/2024.

I'm not going to tell you what to do, as most likely gaming is the most important thing but.....
I'd probably return it. Knowing how often the issues between Gigabyte and MSI hardware come up....I'd return it just to get something you can rest assured will work.

But that's just my opinion. Ultimately what matters is your satisfaction, and if you're satisfied, enjoy!
