so you've just bought the Sapphire Radeon nitro 5700 XT OC card but how do you get it in there
don't worry guys I'll show you how to do that in this video and then I'll also show you how
to install the drivers and windows to get you guys started don't forget to click like subscribe and
click on the little Bell notification that way you get notified when I come out with videos just
like this showing you how to install video card CPUs motherboards memory SSDs just about anything
even windows stay tuned guys alright so before we can get the Sapphire Radeon nitro 5700 XT OC card
installed we're going to need to remove the card that's in there already if you don't already have
a card in there if you're just building the system brand new and you're gonna be installing a card
for the first time just skip ahead to the time listed below but if you already do have a card
this should help you out so first off what we're going to do is disconnect the PCIe connections
you'll see that right over here okay so typically they're gonna have a little tab that you write
over here this guy see how I'm pushing that down and that those teeth are opening up okay and then
we'll just do that over here just pull that and then pull the connection out okay so we'll just
drop that connection in there now we'll need that a little bit later on and then now we'll go ahead
and unscrew all of these over here now typically people do this with the case laying on its side
but it's a lot easier for me to demonstrate to you guys with the case standing up so again it
might be easier for you to do this with the case laying down okay so then we can't just pull the
card out if we do we're gonna end up ripping the PCIe slot out you'll notice there's a little notch
right over here and let me zoom in for you okay so this little notch right here that's holding the
card in place there's a little anchor keeping that in and I'll show you that in once so if we were to
just pull the card out we'd rip the PCIe slot out so just push this and the card comes out a little
bit so if I were to push the card back in you'll see that little notch pop back up watch this see
how just right back into place so again I'm gonna push it out and now let me zoom out and now the
card comes off really easily okay again it doesn't have to be this specific card that should be the
same for about any car okay so I'm going to take that out one thing you'll notice is that card took
up three PCIe slots or coverage okay it took one physical PCIe slot but it took the space of three
right over here so we'll notice on the Sapphire Radeon 5700 XTO see it only uses two even though
it says it takes up almost three but it only uses two here so I'm just gonna go ahead and
put a cover back on real quick now if you already had covers on there for these two right over there
you're just gonna have to remove them to get the card in but that's a different story okay so now
all we're going to do is first off we're going to match these two back here along with these
two right here at the base there's a little hole where these two go in to try your hardest not to
touch these fingers as well okay so should be able to see that right there you'll notice that little
groove match up with this little notch right over there and this was the anchor I was telling you
about when this slides in that slides right in place putting piece of plastic right here keeping
you from just pulling the card out whenever you wanted to and now right here we just push the
card right there and then we just push it in and you'll notice that little mechanism lock again all
right so it's that easy you've just physically installed the Sapphire Radeon nitro 5700 X TOC
card so now we're just going to go ahead and screw this in okay and now we're gonna go ahead
and connect those same two PCIe connections right over here the other card pad up by six and a by
eight this one has two by eights so I have two six plus two so that means I'm going to be using
this other plus two connection joining it up to make it a by eight okay and now I'm just gonna
go ahead and connect that right over here now the difference between the Nvidia and AMD cards is the
little latch mechanism that I showed you earlier is on the bottom on AMD cards it's at the top
okay and it just locks into plates so now we'll go ahead and put in the other one and that's it
so now we have both PCIe power connections plugged in so at this point now we're gonna do is turn on
the computer and install the drivers so let me take you over to the computer real quick and get
started all right so you may be tempted to plug your hdmi displayport or whatever cable back up
here to where it used to be but now that you have a video card you're gonna plug it in right over
here to the actual video card itself okay so now let's turn it on real quick so I do have a
complete part list of everything in the system in the description and the pin comment down below so
you could check it out now this is going to be the very first time I turn it on no drivers no nothing
this is actually a clean install of Windows so I'm gonna go ahead and turn around real quick
so far super nice and quiet
one sec while I log in all right so I'm gonna go ahead and download the AMD drivers
it's rida tech ting the card or detecting the card
AMD comm come over here then I go to graphics Radeon graphics cards and
Windows is installing unfortunately its own Oh and a second I'll show you guys how to get rid
of that so Radeon graphics cards then we go here to Radeon rx 5700 XT drivers and support
and then here Windows 10 64 bit edition this is what I have you may have different so I'll
just go ahead and download that fill out this information good stuff I've already done it so
I don't need to right now alright so now what very important thing is since Windows is doing
all its thing in the backend we're going to want to download ddu so for that we go to wag
nard soft calm okay so then we'll scroll down and then we'll go to display driver uninstaller
ddu the latest version click here for download and support and then just download the latest version
here official download here okay so now if I go over here to show folder so then we'll go into
the ddu seven zip folder or compressed folder and we'll extract it to DD you doesn't really
matter okay so after extracting it to that folder we're just gonna go ahead right-click
on the start button hover over shut down or sign out now we're gonna hold down the left shift key
and then click restart while holding the left shift key that's going to take us to the safe
mode of Windows ok then we click over here on troubleshooting you zoom in so you guys could
see that better ok then we go to Advanced Options ok then we click startup settings and then restart
so that's gonna boot us into safe mode ok and then here we can just hit number 4 for enable safe mode
so now we'll go to explore and we'll go to wherever we extracted that DD you and then
run display driver uninstaller okay so we're gonna go here to select device type select GPU
and then we're gonna do it two ways there was an Nvidia card in here before although
I didn't install drivers but what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna select Nvidia here first and then
I'm gonna click clean and do not restart okay so that what that's doing it's getting rid of
all the Nvidia drivers and any of the folders may be left behind this will take maybe 15-20
seconds okay clean uninstall completed would you like to exit now will click no so then
we'll come back over here to where it says in video and we'll select AMD and now this
time we'll do a clean and restart since we're done at that point cleaning all the drivers out
and actually one thing I'd like to recommend we click options here make sure prevent download of
drivers from Windows Update while windows search for a driver or device make sure there's a check
in there and then click close and now at this point since we have aim D selected will do a
clean and restart that will uninstall the drivers and then restart the computer when it's safe
okay so now we'll go to the download directory where we downloaded the
latest Radeon drivers for your video card click install here
okay we can close out the Explorer window and then keep a check here if you'd like to and
then accept and custom install I always do a custom and then checking for new drivers
right over here okay so download it click install okay and then click install again
that'll let you change the location of the install but we'll leave it at default for now
okay and then if we'd like to we can install Radeon relive
and then we'll go ahead and click restart now
alright guys and that's about it so again this is a key showing you guys how to install the
Sapphire Radeon nitro at 5700 XT OC card and how to install the drivers coming up next I'm
going to show you guys how to use tricks to change the lighting to overclock and to get just better
performance out of the card like if you really needed it but anyway more coming soon Agia see
you guys so to interrupt this video I get asked very often do I have to connect both of the PCIe
connections they don't put them there for fun guys can have them both sometimes it'll work
only having one that way you get basic video and you might be able to play some games but
as the power requirements ramped up your game starts heating up your card that's gonna take
more power as you use extra features of your video card that's going to take more power that's where
the extra six pin or the extra eight pin comes into play so for example right now if I turn on
the system I have both 8 pin PCIe connections connected right now ok this will take a few
seconds it'll get into Windows everything will be happy so now what I'm going to end up doing
is once it's in Windows I'm gonna shut it down alright I'm gonna shut it down so now what I'm
gonna do is as soon as you shuts down I'm gonna go ahead pull out one of the plugs
alright you can see here it is disconnected right here okay so now I'll zoom back out
okay now I'm gonna go ahead turn it back on remember this guy is disconnected now we're
getting the post beat and it's not working I know it's because it needs the other one
not that one alright so I'm gonna go ahead and plug that one back in okay then I took
out the other one I plugged in the one on the right the one I disconnected I plugged
that one back in and then I disconnected the one on the left so that's got to work right
doesn't work either so again if it has an eight and a six pin or two six pins or two
eight pins connect them both it doesn't cost you anything extra of course unless you have
to buy another power supply or cables which I'll go ahead and link them down below so
you can buy some additional adapter cables but realize this particular video card requires a
600 watt power supply they recommend of 650 but watt power supply and I'm going
to be doing some testing for gameplay and for benchmarks and I'll show you all you know how
much power it's sucking the entire system is sucking not just the video card the video card
is going to require about 241 watts on its own so just keep that in mind oh yeah see you guys
