Hi i have a zotac 480 and recently i got a second hand msi 480 so i could sli but i couldn't get it too work the zotac wouldn't give me a signal in the first pci-e slot and when it was in the second slot it wasn't being detected at all in windows.
the zotac will only work in the first pci-e slot with nothing in the second the msi card will work in any slot and with another card in the other slot.
i have an old 8800gtx and when i put that in with the msi card it works and they both show up in windows but when i try it with the zotac it doesn't give me a signal but the 8800 will.
I've tried these cards in 3 other motherboards all that are 1 x16 mode or x8 sli so its not the boards i tried posting on the zotac forums and didn't get much help i also tried zotac live support and there they told me they only guarantee the card to work in x16.
i doubt it there's any way to fix this other then maybe getting a mobo that has x16 sli but i just got this mobo 4 days ago i'm all outta idea so if any one could help me i'd appreciate.
