I installed an additional video card into my second PCI-E slot but the motherboard didn't pick it up.
The two video cards are completely different, I added the second card so I could plug in my 3rd monitor.
The board I'm using is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813151037

The description for the second slot says "One x16 PCI-E slot for x8 PCI-E signal (support SLI)"
Does this mean I can only use a video card in the second slot if I am attempting an SLI setup?
