I bought a gigabyte r9 380x and I just installed it in last night, everything works as in it has power, fans spinning, lights are on, but I have no clue what to do with the software part. I don't have an optical drive and when I went to install the AMD catalyst manually after installing it says installation package failure and I've tried redoing it and nothing helps

ok make sure you have your monitor plugged into the r9 380x

also i would make sure that it is 100% installed into the pci slot

because your problem is that it cannot detect the 380x so make sure everything is installed correctly and report back

also post all of your system specs that might help me figure out what is wrong

Well I didn't know you had to plug monitor into it. Makes sense. If my monitor only has a VGA port do I have to get a new one or is there some sort of splitter? Pretty sure GPU only has a HDMI port but I'm not there fight now do not 100%

that card should have a DVI port and most GPU's come with a DVI to VGA so you should be able to just use that

they look like this

If you have verified that it's mounted correctly and your PSU is sufficient and it's plugged in correctly; just clear your CMOS and it should pick it right up.
