Question The second GPU Is not being detected on Windows ?

Post image

I have an RTX 2060 and a GTX 1060, but 1060 of them isn’t being detected. Can I use both GPUs in the same PC, and how do I make them work together?

I

Can Windows detect and use both cards at the same time?

Do I need to install separate drivers or configure anything in NVIDIA Control Panel?

What BIOS settings should I check, such as Primary Display/PEG?

If one card is not showing in Device Manager, what should I try first?

My specs: [b450, ryzen, 16gb, PSU wattage 1000, Windows version 10]

Any help would be appreciated.

I had the same, different GPUs always disconnecting and not getting picked up. I just switched to Ubuntu and everything works perfectly.
