Just set up the card, and was about to connect it to my pc, when I realized that for some reason my HDMI cord just won't fit into the slot in the card. They are around the same size, it just won't go in. I even tried using another cable. It's definitely not a mini- HDMI. Any help?

It looks like the card isn't straight in. Look how close the DVI port is to the slot. It should be a bit more centered. I have that kind of problem with my one case, I have to make sure the HDMI port is centered enough so I can put the plug in, otherwise it doesn't fit and go in all the way and won't work.

Maybe that's it?

Hey I figured it out. Inside there are two very tiny metal tabs, and one of them was bent, not allowing me to get it in. I adjusted it by removing the card and plugging it in first. Thanks for the help!

I was just going to post that after zooming in, the one tab looked a bit weird. The arc of the curve wasn't right. Glad it's sorted. Happy gaming.
