x370 Taichi, no video from Titan X Pascal

I'm hoping asrock support can shed some light on the situation.  I'll install the amd drivers, but I'm really leaning towards just listing the board on craigslist.

Need some help - new computer build with TaiChi 370 | Rayzen 1800X | turning the computer on, seems loud - could be the cosair hydro series H115i but im not sure. Also, i cannot install Windows 10, is there anything i need to do to the default bios that the motherboard came with?

Probably best to start a thread of your own.  In that post, you would want to define the word "can't" As a follow up to my own post, I contacted nvidia... all they could say was "buy intel next time.. good luck"

I assume you are serious about the statement from Nvidia... but are you serious?

One of the frustrating situations that exists between PC hardware manufactures is even if they know of an issue with a product they do not make, when it is used with their product, they won't state outright that the issue exists. The other explanation is they are just blowing you off. Either way, you are left with nothing.

We are not aware of any specific problems with the Titan XP and this board or the AMD video Option ROM that is part of the UEFI/BIOS, but that is a rare card.

Did you ever try clearing the UEFI/BIOS after inserting the Titan and starting the board again?

The driver version may be the "same", but how do you know that all the identical components of the driver are shared between a GTX 460 and a Titan XP?

This is a screenshot of the Device Manager Driver Details for a GTX 960:



Notice the scroll bar on the right side of the driver component list? We cannot expand the size of the Properties box, so I cannot show the 68 entries that I counted of the various driver components/files as I scrolled through the list. Is it possible for a GTX 460 and Titan XP to use the identical components, with nothing new or different? This completely ignores anything related to Windows such as the Windows registry entries for the drivers, etc.

I offered this as a possibility of the cause of the problem. Accepting or dismissing it is your choice.

The point is the driver installation for video cards is more complex than one or two files, and the driver installation program detects the video card in use and tailors the installation for that card. So it is possible that a Titan XP cannot function with the driver installation for a GTX 460, since they are very far apart in design and time.

GeForce Experience is not a driver. It is optional software that is used for optimizing game performance, among many other things. You are not required to install it. Many people don't use it, including myself.

The best procedure when changing any video cards is uninstalling the driver via Windows for the DDU program, then restarting Windows so it loads its generic video driver. Then the new video card is put in the system, booted with the generic driver, and then a fresh driver installation is done.
