Problems going from SLI to single GPU

[MegaMoosh]

Hello there!

 

I've recently wanted to sell my two 970's and buy a single RTX 3060 once they are back in stock (If ever...)

I've been nervous selling both GPU's because I was worried I'd sit for months with nothing in my PC, so I figured I'd only sell one.

 

So I unplugged one of the two cards and set it aside, I booted everything up with the other one in the PC.

I went to go load up Nvidia control pannel but it had dissapeared, and GeForce experience would not let me go to the games or profile tabs.

I loaded up GTA V and noticed it thought I still had 2 GPU's installed (showed 8Gb of VRAM when there is only 4Gb per card)

 

I was wondering if this was a driver issue and how to fix it.

 

I reinstalled the other GPU and all is back to normal.

Thank you in advance for any advice and whatnot.

Run DDU and install the gpu drivers again
