Originally Posted by spaceballsrules Good point. Not sure if it was brought up, but you do have 8 dummy plugs total, right? 2 for each card, one for each core. |

Originally Posted by nitteo I actually have the same problem. I run only 3x GPUs and I have a rig that only shows 2x GPUs. I re-installed XP and drivers and still have the same problem. I came to the conclusion that its a bad board with a bum PCI-e Slot. I moved GPUs around on slots and found the bottom and middle slots dead. This was a MSI K9A2 Platinum board. So check each PCI-e slot by moving a single GX2 around. |
