Anyone having issues with AMD Radeon 9770 6gb (saphire) and Oculus Rift headset?

Hi,

I have a problem with the Oculus Rift headset recognizing its software when plugging it into my 9770. I'm not making any presumptions as to what is the cause so far, I'm wondering if anyone has had success with the headset if they use this board, or perhaps another 9770 make. I do have a ticket with oculus, but I came by here to search and see if I was/was not alone. I will provide my system details and say that all my drivers are up to date with the 9770.

Intel i7 4770k @ 3.5(factory speed)

z87-k asus mobo

32gb ram

9770 video card (above)

Win 10

I have a friend who in his opinion feels the headset is not recognizing both gpus, perhaps assuming it only recognizes 3 of the 6. He was not willing to go as far as to say it's so-and-so's software, but I am just putting this out there. Im more interested in someone who had this problem and found a fix. Thanks.

Edit: I thought this was the graphics forum, if this needs to get moved, by all means.

AFAIK AMD has not released a Radeon 9770 GPU.

  Amazon.com: VisionTek AMD Radeon 7990 6GB DDR5 PCI Express Graphics Card (900627): Computers & Accessories
  
  this is a visiontek, but they are selling sapphires on eBay.
  
  I got this card in 2013.

    So you have an HD 7990 not a Radeon 9770.
    
    The minimum requirements for Oculus is a Radeon R9 290 which is of a higher spec than your GPU.

      Ah yes i mixed up the numbers lol. I figured that the 6gb card was more powerful than the 4gb cards(NVIDIA GTX 970) in comparison, does the make of a card alter the required gb do you believe?

        No problem !
        
        The HD 7990 is a powerful care, no doubt.
        
        i'd probably wait for Oculus to confirm if its certified to use that card.

        their tool told me that card is not meeting there requirements, but it was more on me originally just assuming the card I had was sufficient. It is probably time for an upgrade anyhow. Thank you for your time.
