NVIDIA GeForce 610 *HELP*

[flaker98]

I'm trying to run two GeForce 610's in my pc. My motherboard does support 2 graphics card. When I have one of the cards in it work perfect but, when i plug both in i get no display from either of them. What should I do

Having two 16x PCI-E slots on the motherboard does not necessarily mean SLI is supported.
GeForce GT 610 does not support SLI.

SLI doesn't make sense for low end cards anyway.
You are much better off getting a single better card.
Nvidia GeForce GT 640 or AMD HD 6670 are the entry point for running most games.
To run medium settings at 1920x1080 resolution, look at the Nvidia GTX 650 or AMD HD 6770, HD 7750 or R7 250.

bios options perhaps for pcie options - some older motherboard have manual configuration options, all newer motherboards automatically split the pcie ports when necessary

check you dont have on board video active as well and that its not the main/priority

How would i launch my bios on an msi 970a-g46. It has click bios and doesn't have settings for pci-e slots that i can find

I'm assuming above that you want to use these cards for games to run a single display.
If you were just trying to run multiple displays with the Windows desktop, Windows 7 can do this with multiple adapters (and I assume Windows 8 can as well).
Do you see the two display adapters in the device manager?

As noted in the post above, are you trying to run games or just Windows applications on multiple screens?

This motherboard does support SLI.
The following cards do not - GeForce GT 610/620/630/640, GTX 650/650 Ti
The rest of the GTX 600 series do support SLI - GTX 650 Ti Boost/660/670/680
All GTX 700 series release so far support SLI as well, but if they later release lower end models these are also unlikely to support SLI.

I want to use it for multiple screens. I have done research on SLI and do know about it. I just don't know why when i plug in both of them i get no signal on either card

What is your power supply?
Have you connected the ATX 8-pin power connector to the motherboard?

The GT 610 is capable of running multiple monitors. Are you sure you need the second card?

My 8 pin power connector is connected, I want to run 3 monitors but the 610 can only run 2 of one card

Make sure your BIOS is up to date.
If you can't anything useful in your motherboard manual, you may have to log a support call with MSI.

Another though too, does either card work one at a time in either slot?

Yeah, both do. But when I try both they dont work.

Does a single card work in either slot?
This would prove that both slots are enabled.

The manual only shows multiple cards with Crossfire or SLI, not just two stand alone cards.
It's obviously something they haven't thought about, or it's not supported for some reason.
