Second GPU Not Being Recognized

[joshuadelb]

In my build, I currently have a GTX 1070 FE and a GeForce 210. I was hoping on running a Dual monitor setup and have both cards installed and connected to two ASUS 1080p monitors. For the strangest reason, the 210 is recognized in the device manager. However, it states that it's drivers seem to be out of date. I've gone to the official page for the 210 and downloaded all the drivers and yet this message is shown. To add on top of that, GeForce Experience only shows my 1070 under the "My Rig" tab and not both cards.

I'm currently on Windows 8 and I have tried to activate the dual monitor setup through Windows as well but after I click the extend option, nothing happens. Essentially rendering my 2nd GPU useless and my 2nd monitor as well. Any help to resolve this issue would be gladly appreciated.

I suggest removing the 210 and connecting both monitors to the 1070.

Hi Alex,

Yes this would be the optimal option however, I only have 2 HDMI cables and no display or DVI cables at the moment. As you know, the 1070 only comes with one HDMI port. I'd have to buy a new cable or adapter which was not my plan. Thanks for the help.
