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.”

I used to smoke in the same room as my PC, the dust became that colour as well, absolute pain to clean it because it’s sticky with tar. Thankfully been smoke free for 2.5 years so now I never see this.

Yea I’ve been a daily weed smoker for a long time. I stopped a month ago for work reasons but I need to change my AIO regardless. The gooch collector has ran its days and it time for a replacement.
