Second GPU Not Working

TOSaunders · July 6, 2020

Hey y'all.

This may be a stupid "I can't do it situation" but I figured it was worth a shot.

I recently upgraded my 1050ti that I've had for 3 years to a used 1070 I got for a decent price. I'm an architecture student, and my thought was that I could potentially use one card for my active render while using the other on my second monitor for light use. Typically when I render I still have resources available aside from the GPU. The other thought was running OBS on one screen and my game on the other. I thought I could do this at least, but when I plugged the new one in, the old disappeared. I was able to get the 1050ti to show in device manager, but now it's saying:

"This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)"

and nothing except the device manager sees the GPU. Is this even possible or am I completely missing something? I tried poking around to see online and nothing I've tried has worked so far.

Cheers!

I've used a second GPU for Physx processing and additional monitors in the past (GTX 660 SLI with my older GTX 460). I never had any real problems with it aside from it being a stupid configuration lol.

What is the rest of your hardware?

Try DDU?

It just magically started working again which is weird. All the drivers were up to date and it went through multiple restarts just leaving it a dead connection. But I have two working graphics cards again lol.

Thank you for responding though
