Hello,
I'm having a technical difficulty regarding my 6450. My 7970's are too big to fit the 6450 in the normal slot, so i bought a pcie extender 16x and put it in my Pcie 3.0 8x slot. I then plugged my 6450 into it and put it in one of the GPU Slots. The 6450 does not require power as it's like a 6watt card. I plugged my 4th monitor into it (Philips 190CW) and powered up the machine. The 3 screens plugged in my top 7970 work great, but my 4th screen says "no video input". I doubt it's the card, honestly, because there are SO many problems with these extenders, and I only found out now...

So, what is causing my 6450 not to work?

It actually works. After many reboots, the 4th screen connected to my 6450 started working and it was detected in GPU-Z however, half the time the PC boots and again, the 4th monitor says "no input" and the card isn't detected. This happened today, again, after my pc entered sleep mode, turned itself on again and the 4th monitor wasn't working. Allot of times my Eyefinity running my 3 24" monitors stops and they're like single 1080 monitors all of them. This never happened, until i put in the 6450.

It's not a huge problem, i just want to know what i can do to keep the 4th monitor running... and my card detected.

I now set the "sleep function" in power options in Control panel to NEVER enter sleep mode.

So, anything?
