I've recently resurrected my old GA-EX58 for a friend. It's fine running 6GB ram and an i7 960. It is also running a GTX980, but we wanted to put a second video card in to run a second 'information' monitor.
Windows 10 reports an error (31 or 43 - card reports a problem) regardless of whether I use a second Nvidia card or AMD card in either of the other PCIe slots. I don't want Crossfire or SLI.
Am I missing a setting to get two video cards working at the same time?
Cheers.
Andi.

First of all you were lucky to get that board to run the GTX-980 card in the first place. If the computer is booting with the 2nd card till it gets to windows or the error it is windows 10 that is the problem. Sorry welcome to windows 10.
The other thing is that you have this really new card. This is up to the person running it. You are really only getting 1/2 the performance out of that card. This nice 3.0 card is only running in 2.0.
Have you tried to boot with either 2nd card to windows by itself? That will tell you there really is nothing wrong with the cards it is windows 10.

The 980 is working fine!
It looks like the problem is that the latest drivers only support Maxwell and Kepler GPU's, my second card is Fermi based and won't work alongside the 980 until a driver is released that supports DX12 on Fermi.
