Hey Tom's Community,
I have a Win10 machine that is a wee bit older (maybe 4-6 years), that was running 2x SLI Gigabyte Windforce 770GTX 4gb cards, and had been working great for years. I often will switch the HDMI out from the 2nd card to an HDMI cable going to the TV and watch movies that way. I recently did this, couldn't find an active input line on the tv, tried the plugs again, and now my OS as well as my GeForce config window don't see a second card, just the one. Is there a quick way of telling whether or not the card is in fact fried, before I go down the long rabbit hole of whether or not it's a driver/software issue? The reason I'd go down that path in the first place is when the OS stopped recognizing it, I checked for driver updates and there was a fairly large and lengthy one, even though I thought it was up to date. Any insight into how to appropriately diagnose my card as DOA would be great.
Thanks in advance!
