Hi there,
I've recently brought a second hand graphics card (AMD Radeo R9 380) to use as a secondary graphics card, however I ran into some unusual issues when testing the card:
When I power on my PC with both cards connected I don't get any signal to my monitor, however I've not moved the cable from my primary graphics card and was getting signal fine before installing the new secondary card. Then when removing the secondary card signal returns from my main card as normal. Both cards power up on starting the PC and all fans appear to be running fine.
My primary card is an Nvidia GTX 1060 (3gb) so I first thought this might be down to having two GPU's of different makes in the same machine, however everything I've read on the internet about this says it shouldn't cause an issue as long as both sets of drivers are installed. Also the secondary card (R9 380) is installed on a PCI-E riser card if that makes a difference.
Any ideas as to what might be causing the problem?
Thanks!
