Question Install & Connect Asus Strix GTX 980 Video Card

[amerifax]

Install & Connect Asus Strix GTX 980 Video Card - I'm trying to find detailed instructions, manual. No luck, even at Asus.com
I know when I restart I will get the drivers etc. My issue is cabling and things like the SLI/CFX switch. I'm only using the PCIEX 16/X8_1 Slot. 3 monitors on this one card.

What are your full PC specs ? Which Motherboard model is it, and what's the make of your PSU ? So what exactly happens when you connect the GPU ? A black/blank screen on the Monitors ?

is the 6+8 pin PCIe power cable connected to the GPU, assuming it requires both 6+8 pin connectors. Do you have the latest BIOS installed on your system ?

Does your Motherboard support onboard graphics/iGPU ?
