[SOLVED] Nvidia Tesla K80 with a Maximus Vii Hero

[IronMan3000]

I am upgrading my video card to an NVIDIA Tesla K80. I have removed the old video card (NVIDIA GTX980), and successfully installed the new one, but the Device Manager says "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use (Code 12)." The setup is:

Maximus Vii Hero motherboard
1000W power supply (plenty as the K80 only requires 300W)
Above 4G Decoding is enabled
NVIDIA drivers are installed
Currently running Windows 7 OS

Is there any way I can find out what additional "resources" are required so I can use the K80?

Did you uninstall and reinstall new drivers?

Thanks for the idea. I just uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled but unfortunately that did not fix the issue

Do you have to use Windows 7? It lost support from Microsoft on 01/14/2020. I remember when I was mining crypto with multiple GPUs, Windows 7 wouldn't recognize all of them. Not sure if that woudl be the case with your K80, but I think it's worth upgrading to Windows 10 either way.

I can change the OS, but I doubt that would fix this issue. The K80 was released in 2014 and the drivers I installed are specifically for Windows 7, so Windows 7 should work

it sounds like your issue with Windows 7 was trying to run multiple GPUs at once but I am only trying to run this single GPU

Not your problem, but I will ask, did you change the cooling for the K80? They were passively cooled for specific server chassis originally.

The Tesla K80 is a dual-GPU design. It is essentially two GPUs in one. Might not be a Windows 7 issue, but it could be.
