GPU Not Detected

[Cgomolak]

I have an MSI GTX 970 G4 Gaming card that is not being detected in Windows. I was running it alongside a Nvidia GTX 970 and was running them both in SLI with the card from Nvidia being my main output card. Recently, I've been thinking about selling a card, buying a 1080, and then selling the other one.

 

I was testing both cards just to make sure that my system will be alright with only one card and I wasn't getting any display output from the MSI card. The lights on the card still light up and the fans on the card do still spin. It is not recognized by Windows Device Manager, GPU-Z, or NZXT CAM.

 

My BIOS doesn't recognize that there is a card when that card is inserted alone and it isn't recognized when put in SLI with the other card, however, the first card is stepped down to 8x from 16x like it should when paired with another card.

 

I have tried updating, uninstalling, reinstalling, switching out cards in different motherboard slots. None of the previous solutions have worked.

Make sure that you have disabled SLI in nvida control panel, or just reinstall the driver.
