Hi all,

My new EVGA 1070 ACX 3 FTW arrived, and when i have it plugged into the PCIE 16x slot, it's not detected and no signal is displayed. LED's are going on the card though, so it has power.

However when i moved it down to the 4x slot, it works fine.

I've put my old 970 back in the 16x slot and that still works fine, so what is the possible culprit?

Much appreciate your assistance as I'm keen to see the 1070 in action.

Thanks,

Dan.
