I just installed two graphics cards in my rig in order to have dual monitors and not take any performance away from the primary card. The two cards are Nvidia GTX 1050 SI and a Nvidia 9500 GT. My assumption was that I could plug them in, download the drivers, and they'd work just fine; but it seems like they're conflicting each other in one way or another.
When I have them both installed, with updated drivers, only the monitor connected to the 1050 works, whereas the 9500 gets the code 43 error in the device manager and doesn't function. When I researched how to resolve the code 43 error, I was instructed to uninstall the device with the error (which I did) and depending on the various ways I did that, there would always be one device that would have the error. The closest I've come to a resolution is uninstalling both drivers from device manager, and allowing them to auto install the drivers in which case the 9500 doesn't show the error, both monitors function properly, but the 1050 gets the error (and somehow still functions). This isn't a possible fix, because this is my gaming rig and updated drivers (especially for the primary card) are necessary to play games. Also, this only works up until the system updates the 1050 driver and prompts the system for a restart, and upon restart the system functions as if the monitor connected to the 9500 was non-existent and it gives the 43 error code for the 9500 in the device manager.
I would really appreciate any help someone can provide.
