It may be a PCIe setup issue. Check your motherboard manual and be sure the slots you are plugging the video cards into are both setup for at least 8x. Sometimes, the PCIe lanes will be setup differently based on other options on the motherboard (e.g., M.2 card, PCIe sound card, etc.). One of your slots may be running at 4x.
