I'm having trouble getting Windows 10 to detect my new Palit GTX 1080 Jetstream 8Gb (Well I think it's Windows 10).

It powers up with the green LED light and the fans come on but monitor shows no signal. Connected via HDMI (don't have other wires).

After a lot of trial and error doing other things I decided to put in my old graphics card in to the other PCI slot so I can get into Windows and see what's going on. However with both GPUs slotted into the motherboard Windows device manager only shows the basic display driver which is the old AMD GPU.

Tried installing the correct 64bit drivers for the card from the Palit website but as I thought would happen, won't install since the card isn't being detected.

I've made sure the power cables are connected correctly and it's seated in the PCI slot as it should be. Tried putting the old GPU back which works fine. Any ideas?

The only other thing I can think is the problem is the motherboard. I'm running a Gigabyte 970A-DS3P (rev. 1.0) with most up to date bios which is 2014. From doing my research before getting the card it looked like it should run fine. Am I wrong, MB too old?

System: Windows 10 64bit (build 1709)
Motherboard: Gigabyte 970A-DS3P (rev. 1.0)
CPU: AMD FX 6300
RAM: 16Gb Hyper X Fury DDR3
PSU: Corsair CX750M

No. Unfortunately I don't have another system to test it in. I suppose that could be the problem that's it's faulty even though it's a brand new card.

The problem should be in mainboard but what is this processor for gtx 1080 ? Intel is the best for gaming and from this processor you will not the potential fps that you need for gaming .

Thanks Koleto for the know it all comment and giving no actual advice or information on how to resolve the issue.
FYI I'm gradually building a new rig replacing everything starting with the graphics card that I'm having the problem with. I wanted to play about with my new card while waiting on the other parts being delivered.

Anyway... I fixed my problem and it wasn't the motherboard, it was Windows 10. It kept maintaining that the old GPU was the main card even when it was completely uninstalled and the basics windows drive for it was disabled. So to resolve the issue I bought a DVI lead hooked up the new card with that and Windows immediately detected it. This then allowed me to see Device Manager with the old card completely removed and through trial and error make sure any trace of it was wiped. I'm now happily running my new GTX 1080 card with no issues while I wait on the rest of my rig to arrive. :D

I actually did that's the weird thing.

I used Display Driver Uninstaller countless times when trying to resolve the issue and removed the AMD GPU as soon as the system shutdown then put the Nvidia one in. Every time no display.

I only started putting them both in because it was the only way I could see if the Nvidia card was being detected through the AMD card. That's how I solved the problem, I had the AMD connected via HDMI and the Nvidia through DVI , it was only this way I was able to completely uninstall/disable the AMD driver so Windows would pick up the Nvidia as the correct card at boot.

I never had or heard of this problem before when switching GPUs and that's why it took me so long to figure it out. It's sorted now so hopefully if others come across the same problem I've had this will help.
