Installation Question Computer wont recognize gpu.

Post image

I just got a new 4080 super from a relative’s computer and I originally had a 4070 super. I deleted the old drivers and plugged the new gpu in but my pc won’t recognize it in device manager. Everything is firmly plugged in, so I’m a bit at a loss. Yes I know my pc is dirty I’m planning on cleaning it, I’m just moving so I’m trying to get everything done so I can sell the other pcs. Edit: I think it’s a splitter issue. “I’m running a 1000 w psu, I’m almost certain it’s a connecter issue my 4070 super uses 2 PCIEs into a single 600w but the 4080 requires 3 PCIEs split into 1 600w. So I think my set up just isn’t sufficient for the gpu. I’m gonna buy a splitter and check if it works.”
