Hello. I want to try mining with my pc for the first time. I have a 1060 6gb and a 1050 ti GPU. I am connecting both gpus on my motherboard, but my pc cannot detect the second gpu. Is there a setting in bios that can solve the problem? My motherboard is an msi b350 gaming plus. Thanks for the advice.

how are you connecting both of them? also its would be more smart to sell the 1050 ti in my opinion.

My motherboard has 2 pcie slots. So i just connect them to the slots. I know that i should sell the 1050 ti. But i want to test my pc first to see if it is capable for mining with 2 gpus.

My problem is that the system detects only one GPU. As a result, i cannot use them both for mining at the same time.

ah. ok. did you install the drivers before the cards where installed or after? did you use ddu?

Both gpus are nvidia cards. So i just installed the latest nvidia drivers. Should i install different drivers for each card?

download ddu. do a full uninstall of drivers. and then re install gpu driver set. what ever latest card is. use that as current driver to use.
