Only 7800XT Not Posting, BIOS problem ? What AMD did different in this card ?

Hello guys,

I have a big problem.

My PC :z690 Gigabyte Tachyon, 13700k, 32Gb RAM Gskill 6800Mhz

I bought a 7800XT to replace my 6700XT.

The first card didn't post to BIOS so I tought I had received a faulty card.

I bought another one different brand same problem ! The BIOS do not appears, black screen.

If i install my 6700XT again everything works flawlesly !

What I have tried : changing PCIe slot, using DP cable instead of HDMI, change PCie to Gen 3, using 2 different PSU cables  to power the card.

I even tried one more power hungry card (RTX 3080 of one of my friend) and works without any problem...

 WHAT IS HAPPENING ?

My only thoughts is that the card is not compatible with the motherboard but it will be the first time I heard of this.

The Gigabite motherboard goes to Ab when booting, so in theory is in BIOS but I can't see it.

Thanks for your help.

Tested the 7800XT on a B550 of a friend works without problems...

 

So PLEASE AMD can you work with Gigabyte to know why it doesn't work on a z690 Tachyon ?

Thank you

I don't have any problem on the B550 the problem is on the z690...and according to Gigbayte everything works correctly from their side so I don't really know what to do, I will send back the card...
