nVidia card causing interference with WiFi card

I have an nVidia GTX 1050 TI SSC Gaming 3.0ACX, and an nVidia GTX 460 that I use together for 3 screens. However, after 3 days of troubleshooting I discovered that the 1050 causes some strange hardware interrupts with my wireless card. I have them both on different IRQ levels in my BIOS. With just my 460, my WMP 300N works but when I have either just the 1050 or both the 1050 and the 460 my wireless card begins to glitch out. The wireless card has a green LED that flashes when there's network activity that is off when I have the 1050 installed. 

 

Does anybody know anything useful about this?

Also, I should note that sometimes it works. I read somewhere about PCI lane saturation and DRAM frequency interference, the 1050 does operate around the 2.4GHz range under load.

Problem solved. I upgraded my system and changed motherboards in the process and got a USB dongle.

 

Time to change my signature.
