-Running windows 11, Brand new DEG2 with thunderbolt 5 cable, brand new 850w Pure Power 13 M, and a refurbished 7700xt from Micro center
I’m writing this to ask about some questions about this egpu setup. Currently, I’m using an MINISFORUM DEG2+XFX AMD 7700xt and it won’t populate in my device manager, but it’ll send power to the FW 13. I’ve tried both usb ports, reseating every cable on the egpu setup, using ddu to uninstall amd drivers and reinstalling them, and updating to latest BIOS verison. Still nothing and the gpu has shown no signs of life. If anyone has any info that might help me out it would be greatly appreciated!
Pop some basic technical info here please. Do lspci and lsusb and paste each console output into code blocks below (see the </> device in the editor toolbar).
Not notifications: logs. Please thoroughly explore your Event Log viewer, and see if plugging/unplugging causes some log activity. I don’t use Windows, but I recall that Event Log is split into a lot of categories, and you might need to do some hunting around in the UI.
OK, good start. Now have a look in your BIOS - maybe take some pictures of TB-related settings with a phone. Paste them here - perhaps some of them need a tweak.
Alright, what cable are you using? Is it certified as a TB cable? Do you have any others you can try?
You mention you tried “both” USB ports, but you have four expansion card slots - have you tried them all? I think you need to be using the rear slots, not the front ones.
