Loupy the GTX 970 is an excellent card if your at 1080 or even 1440 for the most part. So not led down the path so to speak and a 980TI is a lot more expensive. The 970 is at a very good price point for a lot of performance. So it depends what resolution are you running at. On my 27 inch Samsung monitor (60HZ) the 970 is smooth as silk no issues at all (60FPS or more even on planets). I am planning a 1440 monitor (with g-sync) upgrade just undecided if I want the Asus or the Dell. Also waiting as I think prices will fall later in the year. The 970 should let me max Elite Dangerous at 1440 but again till I try it is guess work. At 1080 not issue at all.

I'm beginning to think that. I just downloaded the manual to my MB, and the MB has three LED lights. The VGA light is red, but the manual doesn't let you know what it means. I'm assuming it's bad.
I also installed last night went from the HTX 660 to the MSI GTX 980 TI 6GB
The difference is phenomenal. I'm running everything maxed out on a 30" 2560x1600, using DSR to get even higher levels of quality.
I cannot recommend this card more. It has completely changed the game for me.

Well, you have done with ED at least for 3 days now.
Just returned the card and received another one. If I get the same bull crap with this one, I may have to go the "updating BIOS route".
Problem, surely, is not in your MB.
It's othervise cable or display. Or hands and mind?
When I updated my GPU my mobo was locked to the card that was supplied in the Advent box (Windows 8) UEFI. I had to follow instructions below to switch to legacy startup. I had exactly the same fault as you but once I followed these instructions all worked great.

Hope it works for you too.

I'm running Win 7. Thank you though!
Just tried second card. No joy. I guess it was not meant to be! Thanks Commanders for all of your help!
If the VGA light on your board is red I'd guess it is probably not detecting your graphics card correctly.
Try pulling the card and inspect the pci-e slot. Is there any damage or bent pins? Try installing it in the other slot and see if that works.
Does your old card work if you try reinstalling it?

No reply so far..., I bet hes still crying!
)) I would probably. This is very fine GPUAll be good OP, fallow the river and you'll get to the sea. Eliminate one possible issue at a time. Start with the connection between monitor and GPU, and check if other PSU solves the case. From my experience with GPUs its PSU fault in 9/10 cases.
