2080 Super doesn't work with my riser cable

[bluegiant009]

So I recently got my hands on a 2080 Super and it's not detecting on my mobo at all. My older 1070 and 1050ti work on it no problem. I know the card isn't dead because it works in another pc just fine. Wondering if it could be a bandwidth limitation to the riser cable that I have or if there really is something wrong with my 2080S. Very confused here as theoretically they should all work on it being that they're all Pcie 3.0. I don't know if this a unique scenario or if there is something bigger going on. Any tips and help would be much appreciated.

MOST gpu riser cables are crap quality, don't support much weight, aren't PCIE 4 etc. I'd grab this one. It is specifically designed for heavy, waterblocked cards,

I'll order one and report back here with what happens, it's possible I might just adjust the rear hose to let the card go on the board and mount.

before you order one, go into the bios, and try to manually change pcie slot to gen 3. It might be trying 4.0 and failing and getting kinda messed up. 

 

 

ALso since its soft tubing is there any chance of you trying it without the riser cable to test it?

Not until my buddy who set up the water cooling gets over here to adjust the tube in the back. It isn't long enough and crimps badly before I can get it high enough for the motherboard. It's a Pice 3.0 board that doesn't support 4 so I don't think that would be the issue.

oh, fair. Maybe try manually dropping it to 2.0 then. Just to try
