Using a Radeon R7 card in an OptiPlex 3020 Mini Tower
I have an OptiPlex 3020 with the latest bios (A05, I think) installed. I just purchased a video card (XFX R7 260X) and can't get the computer to recognize it. The bios doesn't show any video options other than "Auto" & "Intel Graphics" and the expansion card list in the bios is empty.
The card uses a PCI Express 3.0 x 16 interface.
I've tried taking the card out and reinserting it, but not sure what else to do. Do I have a bad card or did I just buy the wrong type of card?

The card requires 1X 6 Pin PCI-E power and the 3020 does not come with that. The Aux power connection is not optional.
