Sorry thats all ive got....

If you have reseated them and they are connected then i think thats the end of simple answers.
What software are you using to check by the way.... Try this software out (If you arent already) : http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

Might sound a bit stupid... but are both of the GPUs on. Are both their fans spinning??
If not it might be a loose power connection?

Sorry im just throwing it out there as im just as confuddled as you.... Maybe someone else would like to help.........

Can we all be confuddled? Easily done here :D

Maybe the 2 monster cards had a bit of a disagreement in transit, the one that isnt being recognised maybe threw a hissy fit and was collectively beaten on by the one that is recognised, along with his buddy the COOLIT ECO...

...or something more technical...

Possibly best answer ever, but the likely hood is that its more technical lol

Have you tried checking for any cables blocking the card and therefore stopping ti being recognised?

Sounds stupid but might be worth a look.











Just trying to help :D :D
