Can you explain what that means?The reason is because the cheap OEM motherboards they use do not always come with PCI-E certification.
People who attempted to run an RX 470 in a computer like the Acer you mentioned ran into power issues - the system would simply not boot with the GPU. It lead them to speculate that the motherboard's PCI-E slot cannot fully deliver the specified PCI-E power probably because it might not be validated against PCI-E-SIG's standards.Can you explain what that means?
P.S. One desktop I am thinking about is the one discussed in this thread (Specifically the new Kabylake version).
RX470 does use an external power connector (single 6 pin) so could it be these were older pre-builts that had power supplies without enough amps on the 12v rail(s) or the proper distribution of connectors (2x molex or 2x sata for 6 pin adapters) on the power supply strands?People who attempted to run an RX 470 in a computer like the Acer you mentioned ran into power issues - the system would simply not boot with the GPU.
