[Radeon HD 7870 not working?]

PROBleM RESOLVED PLEASE DISREGARD/DELETE!!

 

So, my brother recently decided to upgrade my PSU on account of it acting a bit wonky, random shut downs, BSODs, the works.

 

He had gotten A radeon HD 7870 a while back ( to replace his Nvidia GTX 550ti), but it was too big for his tower at the time, so he figured this was a good time to get everything together.

 

With a dremel and some sweat he had gotten both my new Corsair 750w power supply in, along with my Radeon HD 7870. Everything booted just fine except that the Radeon HD 7870 didn't power on, no fans, nothing.

He figured it might've been the Mobo because my Mobo has GDDR3 slots and the 7870 is GDDR5. So he have upgraded my mobo and got everything wired up, to no avail, the 7870 still didn't work, and googling only yielded very vague results.

 

Previous PSU: epower ep-600ne-xv

New PSU: corsair cx750

 

Previous motherboard: ta870u3+

New motherboard: gigabyte ga-990fxa-ud3

 

Old Graphics card:msi nvidia geforce gtx 550 ti

New graphics card: Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 7870

 

Old/Current CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965

 

If any additional info is needed please ask. I will do my best to acquire information.

 

(Please note, I have researched a lot into PC hardware, I am not an expert though, and this whole process was with lots of googling and double checking.)

[Tech Demo?]

Exactly how well as it handles FPS demo for example. What did you expect more ?

 

 

You'll have to code the cinematic tool if you need one. Like many engine LE3 is for gameplay indeed, cinematic is not absolutely needed to make great indie games. You won't sell a cinematic to players they prefer gameplay :

I was thinking of doing the Cinematic not for a game, but simply for doing it, I just want to make a little video.

 

Just as well, BES, best of luck to you, Mixing more than 2 genres can be dangerous, but if you execute correctly it'll be a hit.

[Tech Demo?]

So, I've taken a break from studying game development, in the interests of my work, but I was wondering, how well would the Leadwerks engine handle a tech demo?

 

I don't mean any actual gameplay, just a video from 3-6 minutes long, showcasing the lighting and such of leadwerks.

 

Think of in-engine cinematics, The one I recall most fondly is samaritan tech demo for the unreal engine 3, from... 2010? I think?

 

Also, how possible is this? Is the leadwerks engine built solely for gameplay or can I create cinematics?

 

For me I think it would be a good idea, help me get a grasp on assets, lighting, camera work, etc.

[Tutorials on C++?]

Granted they are somewhat hidden.

 

Have fun coding.

 

All tutorials are updated to work with the latest Leadwerks version.

You're a life saver! These tutorials are absolutely amazing! Thank you so much!

[Tutorials on C++?]

Well, I guess I didn't search the command reference to thoroughly, I apologize if I seemed angry or anything, I am very happy to be working with leadwerks and this was a major boost to my mood!

 

Also, thanks to everyone, you all seem great, glad I get a good community to work with!

[Tutorials on C++?]

So, I recently purchased leadwerks indie and stardard edition, very happy, the UI isn't what I would call "new user intuitive" But none-the-less, I still think its fine.

 

But, I have noticed that this site, and the forums, and anything relating to leadwerks, is completely devoid of C++ tutorials, with the exception of the one on the leadwerks site.

 

And, an introduction is all good, but there is nothing on it, I a mean, I can't even find a C++ tutorial on camera controlling. Where are all the tutorials, or did I waste the extra $75 (it was on sale) thinking that C++ was the better alternative?

 

Also, I apologize, this is more of a general discussions question, I don't know why I thought it was fitting in programming. Sorry.

 

And please don't take this as anger, I am happy and willing I just thought there would have been a bit more documentation.
